Dental crowns and bridges are two of the most effective treatments for restoring and replacing damaged or missing teeth. When you visit Value Dental of Boise, our experienced dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health to determine if these treatments are the best fit for your needs.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are designed to restore the strength, function and appearance of teeth that have been compromised due to decay, disease or injury. Each crown is custom-made to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and look. Crowns are placed over your existing tooth, providing a protective barrier to prevent further damage and decay. In cases where a tooth is missing, a crown can be placed on top of a dental implant to serve as a replacement. This not only restores your smile but also helps maintain the structural integrity of your mouth. Dental crowns are crafted to be durable and long-lasting, offering a reliable solution for your dental health.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are designed to replace missing teeth, filling the gaps left by tooth loss. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift out of alignment, leading to a misaligned bite and difficulties in chewing and speaking. A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth, ensuring that your remaining teeth stay in their proper positions. This helps maintain a healthy bite and restore your ability to eat and speak normally. Bridges are typically anchored in place by crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, although they can also be supported by dental implants. This provides a stable and natural-looking solution that enhances both the function and appearance of your smile.
