Crowns & Bridges in Charlotte, Matthews, and Wesley Chapel!

LandMark Dentistry provides a set of comprehensive dental services to restore your smile. Losing a tooth changes the alignment of your teeth and your facial structure over time. Crowns and bridges are the best options for permanent teeth replacement.

Dental Crowns 

A dental crown is a tooth-colored cap that covers your damaged natural tooth. Our team of dental experts recommends this procedure to:

• Protect the weak tooth from getting damaged
• Prevent the progression of cracks in a damaged tooth
• Keep dental bridges in place
• Cover the remaining parts of a severely damaged tooth due to decay

Just like other dental appliances, dental crowns have several types which include:

• Gold-plated crown
• Base metal alloy crown
• Ceramic crown
• Porcelain crown

Dental Crown Procedure

Our dental team will shape and trim the tooth. We will get the tooth impression and cover it with a temporary crown while the actual crown is produced in the dental laboratory. The impression of your tooth will be the guide in matching your actual dental crown with your tooth.

You may need to visit our practice twice to accommodate the fitting and placement of your actual crown. LandMark Dentistry considers dental crowns as one of the best ways to preserve your natural tooth and keep tooth extraction at bay. 

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed partial denture that replaces the lost teeth. It can fill two or more missing teeth by getting support from the remaining natural teeth. Our team of dental experts recommends dental bridge treatment to help patients:

• Restore the chewing capabilities lost during tooth loss
• Improve their speech due to the tongue adjustment affected by the missing teeth
• Keep the teeth alignment intact
• Feel like it’s their natural teeth because of its non-removable feature

There are several types of dental bridge suitable for various dental conditions.  These types include:

• Traditional bridge is a procedure where two of the natural teeth on each side of the gap are used to support the bridge.
• Cantilever bridge is a type of dental bridge that only gets support from one natural tooth. 
• Maryland bridges are resin-bonded bridges used for replacing missing front teeth.
• Implant-supported bridges are dental bridges that get support from implants in the absence of natural teeth.

How Does A Dental Bridge Work?

A dental bridge fills the missing teeth by using the adjacent natural teeth on both ends of the gap for support. These supporting natural teeth will be cemented with dental crowns and bonded to the bridge to keep it in place.
