DENTAL CROWNS
A dental crown and bridge, or dental cap, covers your damaged tooth and is a solid
replacement for a damaged natural tooth.
A crown fits just like a natural tooth because it is created from impressions of
your tooth. After your crown is in place, your tooth will be stronger and last longer.
Dental Associates offers a variety of materials for your dental crown, and our dentists
will discuss the best option for your individual case.
PARTIAL DENTURES /BRIDGES
Missing teeth not only make talking and chewing more difficult, but they can also
cause other problems over time. Teeth adjacent to the space in your mouth can eventually
shift into the empty space, which can affect your bite and lead to gum disease or
other disorders such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint issues).
One way to take care of a gap caused by a missing tooth is with a dental bridge.
There are two types of bridges: Removable Partial Dentures(RPD) and Fixed Partial Dentures(FPD).
Removable Partial Dentures(RPD), also called partial dentures, can be taken out and cleaned,
Fixed Partial Dentures(FPD), sometimes called dentures.
Our Dentist will recommend the best bridge to keep your mouth at its healthiest
and you at your happiest. With proper care and dental hygiene, your bridge will
keep you smiling for many years .
COMPLETE DENTURE
If no permanent tooth is remaining in a patient’s mouth, a complete denture can
be given.
it may be a removable one or a fixed denture.
