Why Do I Need Crowns and Bridges for My Teeth?

Cracks, fillings, and other teeth imperfections can cause embarrassment and are not aesthetically pleasing. A crown or bridge will cover these problems and provide strength to the existing tooth. Leaving this problem untreated can result in other teeth becoming crooked.

In addition to strengthening a damaged tooth, bridges and crowns can be used to improve a tooth's appearance, shape, alignment and bite.

Crowns and bridges are fixed in the mouth, offering an advantage over traditional dentures that must be removed and cleaned. When a tooth has too much decay and becomes unstable, it may begin to crack. Fillings may not be long-term solutions and a crown can improve the structural strength of the tooth itself.

The strength that comes from a crown will prevent oral infections and can keep you from experiencing tooth loss. Bridges replace the gap left by missing teeth and provide a pleasing aesthetic while keeping your existing teeth straight.

 Smilovits DDS has replaced broken or decayed teeth with crowns or bridges for over 30 years. We understand the importance of having properly applied crowns and bridges to support the remaining teeth in your mouth and maintain regular mouth functionality.
