What materials are used for crowns and bridges?

Crowns and bridges can be made from several different materials, including gold, porcelain, and metal alloys. Each material offers different advantages, depending on your specific needs and preferences. For example, gold is a strong and durable option that can last for many years without requiring any maintenance or repairs. Conversely, porcelain can be customized to match the natural color of your teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

How are crowns and bridges placed?

Crowns are typically placed over a single tooth, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Our dentist will first reshape the affected teeth by removing some of the enamel and making impressions of your teeth to create custom-made crowns and bridges that fit properly. The new dental restoration is then bonded onto the existing teeth, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetic.

Who is a good candidate for crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are commonly needed by people who have experienced significant dental damage, tooth loss, or decay. These dental treatments have the ability to restore the function and appearance of your smile, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods and activities without discomfort or self-consciousness.

SMILE RESTORATION

After My Car Accident

“My car accident was painful, but more than that, the way my teeth were damaged, I lost all my confidence. I never wanted to smile or go out until I luckily found Dr. Carimi… he changed all that.”

DENTAL IMPLANTS

I Felt Comfortable

“I’ve had a lot of work done to my teeth in the past. I knew that the extraction was going to be painful, but compared with my previous dental experience with extractions, Dr. Carimi was very gentle and the pain was very minor.”

IMPLANTS AND CROWNS

I Love My Smile

“A smile is the first thing people notice. I think everyone’s aware of a beautiful smile nowadays. When mine started getting dark, it started to affect the way I smiled. I was really happy with the treatment plan Dr. Carimi prepared for me.”

PORCELAIN VENEERS

I’m Smiling Again

“I had a little black triangle or space in between my front teeth that always made it look like I had a black pepper stuck in between my teeth. As a dental hygienist, having a nice smile is really important, so I asked Dr. Carimi to help improve my smile.”

THEY’RE LIKE FAMILY

I Love to Smile

“I needed my teeth clean and had an evaluation. I needed some fillings, and Dr. Carimi showed me the x-ray and explained what needed to be done. He also talked to me about the next steps. All the work was done in a timely manner.”
