Dental Crown and Bridge
At EZ Dental Care, we provide Zirconia and porcelain crowns, which are the ideal aesthetic and functional solutions for extensively decayed or damaged teeth. A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” is a fixed prosthetic device that covers a damaged tooth or dental implant.
Benefits of Tooth Crowning
-
Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the full function of a damaged or weakened tooth, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak normally.
-
Protection: A crown provides a protective cover for a damaged or decayed tooth, preventing further deterioration or the need for extraction.
-
Aesthetic Improvement: Crowns can be made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
-
Durability: Crowns are made from strong materials like porcelain, metal, or zirconia, making them long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear.
-
Support for Dental Implants: Crowns are used to cover dental implants, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking tooth replacement.
-
Stabilization of Weakened Teeth: Crowns can hold together parts of a cracked tooth or reinforce a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth structure left.
-
Prevention of Misalignment: By covering a damaged tooth, a crown helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap, maintaining proper alignment.
-
Improved Comfort: Crowns eliminate discomfort from damaged or decayed teeth by providing a smooth, even surface.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap left by the lost teeth. It is anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, referred to as abutment teeth. These abutment teeth are covered with crowns that secure the bridge in place. The artificial teeth, known as pontics, occupy the space and are custom-made to seamlessly match the surrounding natural teeth. Pontics can be crafted from materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain, zirconia, or a combination of these. While dental bridges are compact and feel like natural teeth, they are only suitable for carefully selected cases.

​
A dental bridge offers several benefits, including:
-
Restores Functionality: A dental bridge allows you to chew and speak properly by filling the gap left by missing teeth.
-
Improves Appearance: By replacing missing teeth, a dental bridge restores your smile and can enhance your overall facial aesthetics.
-
Prevents Teeth Shifting: Filling the gap prevents adjacent teeth from drifting out of position, which helps maintain proper alignment and bite.
-
Maintains Facial Structure: Replacing missing teeth with a bridge helps preserve the natural shape of your face and prevents the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
-
Distributes Bite Force Evenly: A bridge helps distribute the forces of your bite evenly across your teeth, reducing the risk of damage to your remaining teeth.
-
Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
-
Boosts Confidence: Restoring your smile with a dental bridge can enhance your self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to smile, speak, and eat without feeling self-conscious.
-
Easy Maintenance: Dental bridges require the same level of care as natural teeth, making them easy to maintain with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
