Bridges and Crowns: Restoring Smiles at Pear Dental

Bridging Gaps, Crowning Achievements in Dental Restoration

At Pear Dental, we're dedicated to providing solutions that not only improve your oral health but also enhance the beauty of your smile. Two of the most effective treatments in our repertoire are dental bridges and crowns. In this post, we'll explore these options, helping you understand how they can restore both function and aesthetics to your teeth.

Understanding Dental Crowns: Your Smile's Armor

A dental crown is essentially a cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth. It’s designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, each offering durability and a natural look.

Who Needs a Crown?

Those with a weakened tooth due to decay or large fillings.
Individuals who have cracked or broken teeth.
Patients who have undergone root canal treatment.
Anyone looking to improve the cosmetic appearance of their teeth.

The Role of Dental Bridges: Filling the Void

Dental bridges, as the name suggests, bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is composed of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials.

Why Consider a Dental Bridge?

To restore your smile and the ability to properly chew and speak.
To maintain the shape of your face.
To redistribute your bite properly by replacing missing teeth.
To prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
