Crowns & Bridges in Ocoee, Florida
New Patient Special
If your dental damage is too serious to fix with a traditional filling or if you are missing teeth, crowns and bridges may be the answer to restoring your smile. You can feel confident trusting the gentle and knowledgeable team at Charming Smiles of Ocoee.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, also known as a “cap” is a tooth-shaped restoration that is placed over a damaged tooth. Once a crown is bonded into place, it covers and protects the visible portion of a tooth. Crowns have a variety of uses, including treating and protecting a damaged or misshapen tooth, protecting a tooth after root canal treatment or holding a dental bridge in place.
How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?
Crowns and bridges can last for many years if they are well-cared for. They should be taken care of in the same manner as natural teeth. Brush at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist at least every six months, so all restorations can be checked.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
When teeth are lost, they leave a gap in the mouth which is unattractive and can lead to further dental problems. Dental bridges are prosthetic or “false” teeth that are used to “bridge” the gap left in your mouth. A bridge will allow you to eat, speak and smile normally, and it prevents the remaining teeth from shifting into the gap. A bridge can be held in place by dental crowns placed on the two adjacent teeth or by dental implants, which are surgically placed in the jaw.
What Can I Expect When I Get a Crown or Bridge?
At Charming Smiles of Ocoee, we use high-quality restorations that require at least two visits to put in place. During your first appointment, we will prepare your tooth for your restoration. An impression will be made and sent to our dental laboratory for your crown or bridge to be custom-made. On your next visit, we will secure your new crown or bridge in place.
