Do I Need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that provide full coverage for weak or damaged teeth, protecting the underlying tooth structure from further damage. At Birk Family Dentistry, we offer the highest-quality materials, including zirconia and e-max, to craft dental crowns that are exceptionally strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Our crowns are designed to match the color and translucency of your natural teeth, enhancing the health and appearance of your smile.

You may require a dental crown for the following:

  • To Protect a Weak Tooth: A dental crown can help protect and hold together a tooth weakened by a crack, fracture, or deep decay, reinforcing the tooth structure and preventing further damage.
  • To Restore a Worn Tooth: If a tooth is severely worn down due to constant grinding and clenching (bruxism), a crown can restore its size, shape, length, appearance, and function.
  • To Protect a Root Canal-Treated Tooth: Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy can become brittle and more prone to fractures, which is why we recommend a dental crown to provide support and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
  • To Replace Missing Teeth: Crowns can cover dental implants or anchor dental bridges, replacing one or several missing teeth and restoring the health and function of your smile.
  • To Make Cosmetic Modifications: Dental crowns can be used to improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, misaligned, or otherwise not-so-perfect teeth, delivering a more uniform, natural-looking smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are a tried-and-true solution for replacing one or several missing teeth in a row, filling gaps in your smile. They consist of one or more prosthetic teeth, known as pontics, held in place by crowns fixed to the adjacent teeth. At Birk Family Dentistry, we create fixed dental bridges from the same aesthetic materials as dental crowns, usually zirconia, delivering beautiful, complete smiles.

The following are some of the benefits of dental bridges:

  • They Look Natural: Dental bridges are designed to look like natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
  • They Improve Your Appearance: Replacing missing teeth helps support your facial structure, maintaining your natural, youthful contours.
  • They Restore Function: By replacing missing teeth, dental bridges help restore your ability to chew your favorite foods and speak clearly.
  • They are Stable: Unlike removable partial dentures, bridges are secured to the adjacent teeth, providing a more permanent and stable solution for replacing missing teeth.
  • They Preserve Your Alignment: Filling gaps in your smile can prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which could lead to misaligned teeth, a bad bite, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
  • They Balance Your Bite: Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge can help redistribute the forces of your bite, preventing tooth wear, periodontal disease, and TMJ pain.
  • They Provide a Confidence Boost: Restoring a complete and functional smile can boost your confidence and improve your overall quality of life.
