Dental Crowns and Bridges in Portage, Indiana
Revitalizing Smiles and Enhancing Your Dental Health
At times, a tooth may be too damaged to be repaired with fillings alone. That's where Portage Dental Rehab Center comes in, offering high-quality dental crowns to safeguard teeth that have been severely damaged by decay, cracks, or discoloration. Crowns are placed over the affected tooth, restoring both its form and function, and ultimately enhancing your smile.
Typically composed of porcelain, crowns mimic the look of real teeth. They are commonly used in root canal procedures, dental implants, and dental bridges. Contact us now to book an appointment!
When teeth are missing, it can lead to the displacement of the remaining teeth, resulting in difficulties with eating, speaking, and other essential functions. To address this issue, a dental bridge utilizes the adjacent teeth to provide support for a dental crown, effectively filling the gap. These bridges are long-lasting and specifically tailored to blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns serve as caps that restore the shape and size of damaged teeth. They not only protect the original tooth but also provide defense against further damage. At Portage Dental Rehab Center in Portage, Indiana, dental crowns are a standard procedure and an excellent choice for restoring damaged teeth.
It's important to note that teeth cannot heal or restore damaged enamel on their own. In cases where a cavity is too large for a filling or a root canal is necessary, a crown becomes necessary to cover the affected tooth.
Dental crowns offer versatility in treatment options. They can protect weak teeth from infection, restore damaged teeth, cover dental implants, secure dental bridges, and provide a natural appearance.
When it comes to highly visible teeth, we strive to match the crown to your existing teeth. However, if the tooth is located towards the back of your mouth, a metal crown may be a more practical option. Rest assured, we will discuss the costs and available options with you before beginning the process, ensuring that you are well-informed about every aspect involved.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is an excellent option for replacing a single lost or extracted tooth, especially when a dental implant is not feasible due to bone loss or limited space.
Once in place, a bridge not only restores your smile but also improves your ability to chew and speak comfortably. These fixed restorations offer additional benefits, such as:
- Relieving stress on the bite
- Helping to maintain the shape of your face
- Preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of position
Our dental bridges are available in various materials, including porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of these. The dentist will securely bond the structure onto the surrounding teeth for support, providing you with a beautiful and long-lasting smile that will stand the test of time.
Dentures
We specialize in dentures and understand the importance of both appearance and comfort. Our goal is to provide you with dentures that not only look good but also feel natural. To ensure the perfect fit, we offer a diverse selection of tooth shapes and colors. Once you've selected your preferred denture style, we'll customize it to ensure an ideal fit.
