Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns

Do you have damage to your teeth or decay? Dental crowns can be a great solution to restoring the tooth! For full and normal use when the damage is too far along to warrant a filling, a dental crown could be the option, making you able to avoid having to have the tooth removed and still being able to use the tooth as normal.

Often the next stage after a dental crown is to have the tooth removed and replaced with a dental bridge, but if you choose to have a crown you can still make use of what is left of the tooth and the root. A dental crown simply caps your own natural tooth, encasing it with the crown acting as the tooth so you are able to continue using it as normal without sensitivity.

Crowns are a great way to keep your mouth healthy and working properly, if you think you could benefit from a dental crown that looks and feels natural, read on for more information.

What is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ that is designed to fit perfectly over a weakened tooth or to top a dental implant. The crown restores the tooth shape, size, appearance, and strength so the tooth can be used just like normal!

How is a Dental Crown Fitted?

Crowns are cemented into place to fully encase the part of the tooth that lies above the gum line. At Revitta we can provide custom made porcelain crowns for patients in a single visit, making having a crown fitted fuss-free!

Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges can be just the solution for those who have had the misfortune of losing a tooth. A dental bridge creates a close between two teeth to help you live a normal life, being able to smile, eat, and speak normally.

Dental bridges are a great solution if you don’t want to live with the appearance of having missing teeth. They also allow us to still feel comfortable with our mouths and teeth, which most importantly means we can still smile whenever the mood strikes!

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is exactly what it sounds like; it creates a bridge between two teeth. This is ideal for someone with missing teeth.

Why have a Dental Bridge Fitted?

One of the main reasons for choosing to have a dental bridge fitted is for cosmetic reasons. A dental bridge improves the overall look of your smile concealing missing teeth.

Further and equally good reasons are that missing teeth can cause strain on the surrounding teeth. They can then end up shifting and moving into the gap completely changing the composition of your teeth.

Missing teeth can also change the shape of your face, creating sallow spaces where the gap is. Gaps in the mouth can also sometimes cause more decay and further problems with the surrounding teeth.

Having a dental bridge fitted helps prevent all these problems. Bridgework can be a vital tool to address health care problems that can arise from a missing tooth.
