Functional Treatment with Aesthetic Appeal
A cracked tooth or teeth that are missing can make it painful or difficult to chew and eat, in addition to harming the appearance of the smile. Modern solutions, such as natural-looking dental crowns and dental bridges, help to restore this lost function as well as improve the aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Michael Sohl restores damaged or missing teeth with a focus on how your smile will appear in relation to your face and personality. Taking these dental-facial aesthetics into consideration, he provides custom treatment solutions to rebuild the function that mimics that of a natural and healthy tooth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns cover over the entire tooth, “capping” teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, a large filling, or a misshapen or cracked tooth. Made from durable tooth-colored material, dental crowns are customized to fit over the original tooth or dental implants and rest snugly between adjacent teeth. Their natural appearance and fit make it nearly impossible to distinguish them from your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Protects teeth with large filings
- Restores proper shape and height
- Fixes a broken or cracked tooth
- Restores a dental implant
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a series of crowns fused together to span the gap that remains after a tooth is lost or extracted. Made from the same high-quality and strong material, dental bridges improve both the aesthetics of the smile and help maintain proper face shape. Once the dental bridge is connected securely to the adjacent teeth, the blend between artificial and natural teeth is seamless, restoring beauty and function to the teeth.
