A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants.
At The Kenwood Dentist, Dr. Parisa Behroozi and our team are committed to delivering high-quality care to help you achieve a smile that feels as good as it looks. Both crowns and bridges mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
What Crowns and Bridges Can Do For You
There are a few key reasons people opt for crowns and bridges in Kenwood:
- Restoration of Function: Missing or damaged teeth can make everyday tasks like eating and speaking difficult. Crowns and bridges can restore the function of your teeth, making these activities comfortable again.
- Improved Aesthetics: Whether it’s due to discoloration, a broken tooth, or missing teeth, crowns and bridges can improve the appearance of your smile, helping you feel more confident.
- Preserving Jaw Health: Missing teeth can lead to shifting or bone loss in your jaw. Crowns and bridges help maintain your mouth’s structure and prevent these issues.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting crowns and bridges involves a few straightforward steps, all designed to make sure your restoration fits perfectly and looks natural.
- Initial Consultation and Assessment: During your first visit, Dr. Parisa Behroozi will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best solution for you, including taking Digital X-rays to get a clear picture of your teeth and gums.
- Tooth Preparation: If you’re getting a crown, we will shape the affected tooth to make room for the restoration. If you’re getting a bridge, we will prepare the adjacent teeth to support the bridge. We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable during this part of the process.
- Impressions: Next, Dr. Behroozi will take an impression of your teeth using the iTero Digital Scanner, which ensures the highest level of accuracy for your custom crown or bridge. These impressions then go to a dental lab, where skilled lab technicians craft your restoration to fit perfectly.
- Fitting and Placement: Once your crown or bridge is ready, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit to place it. Dr. Behroozi will ensure the restoration fits comfortably, and she will make adjustments for a natural bite.
- Final Touches: After confirming that the restoration feels just right, we will securely bond it into place, and we’ll polish it to match the natural sheen of your other teeth.
The whole process typically requires two visits, but the result is a beautifully restored smile that can last for many years.
