At Conte Dental, Dr. Toniann Conte and Dr. Stacey Vlachos provide crowns and bridges in Bonita Springs, FL, to restore patient smiles. Crowns and bridges are both custom-milled ceramic restorations that replace teeth. If you are missing teeth or have teeth that have been compromised, a bridge or a crown could be the solution for your smile.
Crowns
Crowns can save teeth that have been compromised by trauma like a crack or chip. The remaining natural tooth is sculpted to make room for a crown to fit around it. If a tooth has a significant amount of decay, it can also be saved with a crown. First, any decay is drilled away from the tooth so only the natural healthy tooth structure remains. The remaining tooth is sculpted to make room for the crown and the crown is cemented into place, replacing the tooth.
Bridges
Bridges are crowns designed to replace multiple teeth. If there are teeth strong enough on either side of a missing tooth, they can be sculpted down and fit with crowns. A bridge is a custom restoration with crowns on either end that fit onto the teeth on either side and completely replace a missing tooth.
