Crowns are an option for teeth that are no longer structurally sound. When a tooth has had a lot of restoration in the past, it can weaken when another cavity needs to be filled. A crown can be installed over the remaining portion of the tooth and provide an individual with the correct dental surface for chewing food.
Another application dental crowns Boston can be used with is bridges. When an individual has a gap in their teeth, a long-lasting bridge can be made to fill the gap. Crowns are used on the teeth surrounding the missing tooth and a crown will be installed in the appliance for the missing tooth to complete a smile.
Dental Implants
Another application dental crowns are used for is dental implants. When a dental implant is installed, a post is inserted in the jaw bone and finished with a dental crown. The crown will be attached to the post and permanently fix the problem of a missing tooth.
How is A Bridge Made?
When a tooth or several teeth are missing, a bridge can be made. The teeth on either side of the bridge are measured and a dental impression is taken of the area. The impression is sent to the lab so the bridge can be created. Dental crowns Boston are installed on each side of the bridge, and one is used to fill the gap created by each missing tooth.
A bridge can take two to three weeks to be completed. In the interim, a patient will be provided with a temporary bridge until the permanent one is completed.
Thick And Supportive
A dental crown is thicker and more supportive than a veneer. A crown can prevent a weak or chipped tooth from breaking and can restore a broken tooth. If a tooth is misshaped or the enamel has been eroded, a dental implant can correct the problem.
