Dental Crowns And Bridges At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Teeth can weaken over time. A deep cavity, a fracture, or treatment like a root canal can leave a tooth fragile. That’s when a crown is used. It covers the tooth like a cap and gives it strength again. Bridges are different. They fill the space left by one or more missing teeth, connecting to the natural teeth beside the gap.
When A Crown Is Recommended
A crown may be suggested if a tooth has broken, is worn down, or cannot be repaired with a filling alone. They are also common after root canals, since the tooth is more fragile once the pulp is removed. In plain terms, a crown helps keep a tooth you might otherwise lose.
When A Bridge Is Suggested
Bridges replace missing teeth. They rely on the teeth on either side for support. A bridge restores chewing ability, helps keep your bite even, and prevents nearby teeth from shifting. Sometimes implants are used to support a bridge, depending on the case.
What To Expect
The process for a crown or bridge usually takes two visits. First, the tooth or teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the final one is being made. At the next appointment, the permanent restoration is adjusted and cemented in place.
Everyday Benefits
Restorative work is about more than appearance. Chewing becomes easier, speech can improve, and it reduces strain on other teeth. With regular care, crowns and bridges can last for many years.
