Each tooth in your mouth plays an important role when it comes to speaking, chewing, and maintaining the proper alignment of the other teeth around it. When tooth loss occurs it is smart for you to consider replacing the missing tooth to maintain the proper function of your mouth. Washington Park Dental Center provides a number of different options for our patients, including ceramic bridges and dental crowns in Denver, CO. The dental bridges and tooth crowns provided by our dentist help you avoid the negative side effects of tooth loss so you can keep your mouth functioning just like it was designed to do. You can also ask us about dentures and implants for even more tooth replacement options that can help you. Porcelain dental crowns can be an effective solution for restoring form and function to damaged teeth while also improving their appearance.

Once the design has been completed, your crown will be fabricated out of durable porcelain material and then secured to your tooth with strong oral cement. Through proper care and maintenance, your porcelain dental crowns can last for decades.

A crown is designed to replace a missing tooth so that your smile can return to its former glory after a dental extraction. Our dentist works hard to ensure that the dental crowns we offer look just like the rest of your natural teeth. That means no one will be able to notice the difference between your new tooth and all of the rest of your existing teeth.

Crowns are great for repairing some of the most severe dental problems by giving you a full smile with a functional bite. Today’s technology has made it easy to create and place crowns that are designed to last 30 years or more, which is about as close to permanent as a dental treatment can get. If you need to replace a tooth, gain support to misshapen teeth, improve your natural aesthetic, or fix functional chewing problems, our tooth crowns might just be the solution for you.

What exactly is a dental bridge? A bridge is a fixed partial denture that fills the gap where teeth are missing. These fixed bridges are bonded into place so they can provide you with stability that their removable counterparts aren’t capable of providing. This helps you to improve your oral function as well as boosts your physical appearance. Dental bridges do more than just give you an aesthetic boost, however. They are primarily designed to help you avoid the dental problems that can come with missing teeth. Your bridge helps you avoid unusual stresses on your gums and other oral tissues, decrease the threat of gum disease, and help you avoid troubles with speech and eating. If you are missing numerous teeth, you probably look at old photographs and wish you can have that smile back. This wish can become a reality.

Dental bridges can be an excellent option if you are missing one or more consecutive teeth along your gumline. Dental bridges are often supported on either side by other restorations such as dental crowns or dental implants, depending on your specific needs. Ultimately, this effective cosmetic treatment can provide beautiful results while helping to improve speaking, chewing, and a variety of other problems associated with missing teeth.

Unlike dentures, a fixed bridge is never removed. It is stable in the mouth and works very similar to natural teeth.

By filling the gap and stopping the movement of other teeth, a fixed bridge is an effective investment, providing better chewing ability, heading off jaw joint problems and saving money that would otherwise might be spent on future dental treatment.

Dental bridges help you speak properly. During speech, your tongue pushes against the back side of your upper teeth to achieve proper pronunciation. Missing teeth can quickly affect the way you talk.
