Dental Crowns and Bridges: Restoring Your Smile
Missing or damaged teeth can affect your confidence and oral functionality. At Unique Dental of Framingham, we offer dental crowns and bridges to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Here’s everything you need to know about these restorative options.
What Are Dental Crowns? Dental crowns are caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, and strength, while also improving its appearance. Crowns are made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, ensuring a natural look and long-lasting results.
What Are Dental Bridges? Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of prosthetic teeth anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. This solution restores functionality and prevents the remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
- Restores Chewing and Speaking Abilities: Missing or damaged teeth can make it difficult to eat or speak properly. Crowns and bridges provide a seamless solution.
- Enhances Smile Aesthetics: These restorations blend naturally with your existing teeth, improving the overall appearance of your smile.
- Prevents Shifting of Surrounding Teeth: Filling gaps left by missing teeth helps maintain proper alignment and prevents future dental issues.
