Teeth which have chipped, broken, or exhibit advanced decay can be uncomfortable and unsightly. The damage done by deterioration to teeth for whatever reason can sometimes be simply restored with fillings but often have to proceed to crowns (or "caps). At Pittsboro Smiles, we usually work with a Cerec machine which lets us complete many crown cases in a single visit.
While the current standard of care for missing teeth involves implants, a 3-unit dental bridge (basically 3 crowns together) is a solid alternative assuming surrounding dentition is sound. Newer materials offer improved aesthetics as well as compared to the metal-heavy outcomes of the past.
Please contact our practice for an appointment if you have any questions or issues in regards to crowns and bridges.
