Dental Crowns & Bridges
If, for any reason, you are missing one or more teeth, it is important to replace them for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your smile, but they can also upset the balance of your teeth and cause other problems. Among the options offered by the dentists at Clinique Poirier in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, crowns and bridges are durable and affordable solutions.
CROWNS AND BRIDGES: RESTORATIONS THAT PREVENT MANY PROBLEMS.
If a tooth is badly damaged, brittle, or simply missing, the surrounding teeth will tend to shift. This can lead to a variety of problems, including:
- Loss of neighboring teeth or the tooth itself
- Premature wear of the remaining teeth
- Oral infections or diseases
- Difficulty chewing food
- A less attractive appearance.
It is therefore essential to restore badly damaged or missing teeth quickly in order to preserve the integrity of the mouth. Crowns and bridges are among the most accessible options.
EFFECTIVE REPLACEMENT OPTIONS!
Dental crowns:
This is a restoration designed to repair or strengthen a tooth that is damaged but whose root is still present and viable. It consists of a hollow artificial prosthesis fixed over the damaged tooth.Two options are available at Clinique Poirier: traditional crowns, which are made in a laboratory and require two appointments, and CEREC porcelain crowns, which are made in the clinic using a high-precision computerized robot. The latter can be installed on the same day as the consultation.
Dental bridge:
Also known as a fixed bridge, a dental bridge is designed to completely replace one or two missing teeth. This type of restoration is made of a combination of metal and ceramic and consists of two parts: the pontic, in the center, and the abutments, which are the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap that are covered with crowns.
Bridges are made in a single piece from mouth impressions and are fitted in the clinic in a simple process requiring two appointments.
