When a functional tooth problem presents, or you’re missing a tooth one, you might be experiencing discomfort while eating or talking. When teeth are damaged or decayed, you’ll experience sensitivity and pain. Beyond the physical irritation, there are emotional and social pains too. We always prefer to restore your natural tooth when possible, just because you’re experiencing damage or decay, you don’t necessarily need to remove the tooth completely. Chances are we may need to upgrade the exterior to rebuild strength and appearance. Don’t live with cracked or broken teeth when options exist that include dental bridges and dental crowns in St. Petersburg, FL. You deserve a fully functional smile!
At BayView Dental Associates our dentist and dental team are skilled in these restorative treatments and have the artistic eye to provide aesthetically attractive outcomes, as well as returning function to your tooth. Your new restoration, made from porcelain or ceramic materials, will blend seamlessly with your existing teeth and be strong enough to bite and chew foods comfortably once again.
Dental crowns are fixed “caps” that cover over your teeth to restore strength and beauty. We generally recommend crowns when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be treated with bonding or composite fillings. Similarly, we can use a dental crown to preserve a tooth after root canal therapy or to restore a permanent dental implant. We’ll take impressions of your tooth, which are used by a specialized dental lab technician to design your new restoration. Then, we’ll be sure your new dental crown fits securely over your tooth and the color blends in with your surrounding teeth. The advantages of dental crowns include:
If you’ve lost a tooth, but aren’t ready to commit to a dental implant, then a dental bridge is your next best option. Dental bridges are a series of dental crowns that span the gap left after a tooth is lost or extracted. To ensure a comfortable and seamless fit, we first take impressions of the area. These will be used by experienced technicians at our partner dental lab who will hand-craft your restoration. Your dental bridge will be made from high-quality materials and color-matched to look natural alongside your existing teeth. The benefits of dental bridges include:
