What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. It provides strength, protection, and improves the tooth’s shape, size, and color. Crowns are essential for:

  • Protecting a weak tooth from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth.
  • Restoring an already broken tooth or a tooth severely worn down.
  • Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth structure left.
  • Holding a dental bridge in place.
  • Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
  • Covering a dental implant.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth, using adjacent natural teeth (or implants) as anchors. Bridges not only restore your chewing ability and speech but also prevent remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and other dental issues.

The Crown & Bridge Process at Our Cameron TX Practice

Getting a crown or bridge typically involves a few visits to our Cameron office:

  1. Preparation: Dr. Hutchison prepares the affected tooth (or teeth) by removing a small amount of enamel to allow space for the crown or bridge.
  2. Impressions: Accurate impressions are taken to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.
  3. Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while your permanent restoration is being fabricated in a dental lab.
  4. Placement: Once your custom crown or bridge arrives, we’ll bond it securely in place, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

  • Restore chewing function and clear speech.
  • Improve the aesthetics of your smile.
  • Prevent shifting of remaining teeth.
  • Distribute bite forces evenly.
  • Long-lasting and durable solutions.
