Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth or teeth in between.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last many years. On average, they can last between 5 to 15 years, and even longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Are crowns and bridges noticeable?
Modern crowns and bridges are designed to look like your natural teeth in shape and color. They are typically made from porcelain or ceramic, which can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them quite inconspicuous.
Is the procedure for getting crowns or bridges painful?
The procedure for placing crowns or bridges typically involves some form of anesthesia, which makes it a pain-free process. Some patients might experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually subsides quickly.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Crowns and bridges require the same care as your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental checkups. It's also important to avoid chewing hard foods or ice to prevent damage.
Can a crown or bridge fail?
While crowns and bridges are a durable solution, they can sometimes loosen or fall out. This can happen due to decay of the underlying tooth or from trauma. Regular dental visits can help detect problems early and prolong the life of your crown or bridge.
Are crowns and bridges covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans partially cover crowns and bridges. The coverage can vary depending on your specific plan. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider or consult with your dental office for more details.
What materials are used for crowns and bridges?
Crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination. The choice of material depends on the location of the tooth, aesthetic considerations, and functional needs.
How do I know if I need a crown or a bridge?
If you have a damaged, decayed, or missing tooth, your dentist will evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action. Crowns are typically used for individual teeth, while bridges are suitable for replacing missing teeth.
