DENTAL CROWNS & BRIDGE SOLUTIONS IN TUCSON
Dental crowns and bridges are common restorations used to restore damaged, decayed, or missing teeth at Pima Family Dentistry in Tucson, improving both the function and appearance of a patient’s smile.
What is a crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a tooth that has been significantly damaged or decayed. These crowns protect and strengthen the weakened tooth, preventing further damage while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a patient's smile. Typically crafted from custom-made porcelain or ceramic materials, dental crowns are an effective solution for restoring the function and appearance of teeth. For those in Tucson seeking high-quality restorations, porcelain crowns offer a durable and visually appealing option to improve their dental health.
What is a bridge?
This prosthetic device is designed to fill gaps between healthy teeth. It is held in place by crown-topped natural teeth or dental implants. Porcelain or ceramic materials are typically used to create bridges, and each is custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
How are crowns and bridges placed?
The process of placing a dental crown or bridge typically requires two appointments. During the first, our dentist will prepare your tooth or teeth by removing any decay or damage before shaping it to accommodate your final restoration. An impression will be taken, and a crown or bridge will be custom-made to fit your needs. We'll cover the area with a temporary restoration, and once your final version is ready, we'll have you back at our office. Our dentist will test the look and feel of the customized prosthesis, and once we've ensured that it looks and feels great, it will be secured with dental cement.
