For many people, dental bridges make an excellent choice for replacing lost teeth and restoring their smile. Crowns offer a means of repairing and restoring damaged teeth to make your smile healthy again. Yerger Family Dental is among the top dental clinics offering crowns and bridges in Miles City, Montana. By understanding the uses of crowns and bridges, you can make informed decisions to address your oral health needs.
Bridges and crowns can be used together or separately to meet your dental needs.
If you’re missing multiple teeth due to decay or dental injury, Drs. Chase Yerger and Diana Stewart may recommend restoring your smile with a dental bridge. A bridge is a dental device used to replace one to four consecutive missing teeth. Bridges are used in conjunction with dental crowns for support. A crown is placed on healthy teeth located on either side of the gap to hold your bridge in place. A custom-crafted bridge will resemble your natural teeth and function just as effectively for biting and chewing as they are securely anchored in place by dental crowns. Crowns can also be used individually to restore the structure of severely decayed or damaged teeth. The crown will completely encompass your tooth to reinforce its battered structure. A porcelain crown can infuse new life into a damaged tooth by making it healthy and whole again. Your tooth will have a new structure for biting and chewing. A crown will restore your tooth’s original shape and color, enhancing your smile’s aesthetic beauty.  Â
In summary, our crown and bridge treatments offer:
Beautiful Esthetics: Porcelain restorations are highly customizable. By matching your crown’s features and bridge to your natural teeth, we can give your smile a gorgeous, natural-looking appearance.
Quick, Long-Lasting Results: Given a choice, most people would love to see their smiles whole and healthy again quickly. Crowns and bridges can accomplish that. Our team can often complete these treatments in two to three dental visits. With proper care, crowns and bridges can last for years, enabling you to enjoy favorable results for some time.
Improved Tooth Functionality: While aesthetics are important, your teeth were ultimately designed for chewing. Crown and bridge treatments are highly effective in restoring tooth functionality. With a fixed dental bridge, you can eat all kinds of foods. Dental crowns eliminate pain and discomfort when you chew so you can eat more comfortably and efficiently. Mealtimes will be a joy again after crown and bridge treatment.
With crowns and bridges, you get the best of both worlds for your smile – beautiful esthetics and full functionality – to enable you to live the lifestyle you enjoy most.
