Dental crowns & bridges: Affordable smile restoration in Fort Worth
Your smile deserves quality dental care. Dr. Vidya Suri and her team at Sycamore Dental in Fort Worth pride themselves on personalized attention and restorations such as dental crowns & bridges, made with excellent materials and techniques. They provide this service at a fair, competitive price.
Crowns
Dental crowns are commonly referred to as “caps.” These tooth-shaped restorations can be made of stainless steel, gold, or other materials. However, Dr. Suri often recommends porcelain crowns. They look completely natural, while strengthening and protecting teeth.Dental crowns are used in these situations:
- Damaged tooth – A tooth with a significant area of decay or trauma (fracture or breakage) cannot support a large filling. A dental crown encloses and safeguards underlying tooth structure.
- Root canal therapy – Root canal treatment saves a natural tooth. However, without blood supply, it can become brittle. A crown fortifies the tooth.
- Dental implant restoration – A beautiful porcelain crown is the finishing touch for a dental implant, to replace a missing tooth.
- Cosmetic enhancement – The appearance of a badly-discolored or poorly-shaped tooth can be corrected with a crown.
- Crown & bridge unit – Crowns are an integral part of a bridge, to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth.
Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration that closes the gap left by one or multiple missing teeth. Pontics, artificial teeth, are anchored in place by crowns on adjacent teeth. A bridge is a good tooth replacement option for the patient who does not want dental implants or is not a good candidate.Dr. Suri utilizes the highest quality materials and the services of a reputable professional dental laboratory for crowns & bridges. With good hygiene and a few simple precautions, Fort Worth area patients can expect these restorations to last many years.
