Missing teeth can lead to various challenges, from difficulty eating and speaking to a lack of confidence in your smile. Over time, the gap left by a missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and further dental issues. Losing teeth can contribute to jawbone deterioration, altering your facial structure.
Fortunately, dental crowns and bridges offer an effective solution to these problems. Crowns can restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth, while bridges can fill gaps left by missing teeth, providing both cosmetic and functional benefits. At Trovato Family Dentistry, Dr. Joseph Trovato creates customized crowns and bridges to help you regain a healthy, complete smile.
At Trovato Family Dentistry our dentist and dental team are skilled in these restorative treatments and have the artistic eye to provide aesthetically attractive outcomes, as well as returning function to your tooth.
A dental crown in Kearny, NJ, is a durable cap made from materials like porcelain or zirconia that restores a compromised tooth’s strength, function, and appearance. If a cavity is left untreated, the bacteria can spread deeper into the enamel and dentin, potentially weakening the tooth. In cases where there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure to support a filling, a dental crown becomes necessary.
Crowns are also ideal for teeth that are severely discolored or misshapen and have undergone root canal treatment, which weakens the tooth and makes it more prone to damage. The process involves reshaping the affected tooth to create a stable base for the crown. Digital impressions of your bite are taken, a temporary crown is placed, and the final crown is custom-made in a dental lab for a perfect fit.
Dental bridges are a restorative solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of a false tooth, called a pontic, anchored in place by dental crowns covering the adjacent healthy teeth. The purpose of a dental bridge is to fill the gap created by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
By distributing the pressure from chewing evenly, bridges help prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of place and maintain the natural alignment of your bite. Dental bridges are made from durable materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or metal. They can be customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless and comfortable fit.
The cost of dental crowns and bridges can vary depending on several factors, including the materials selected and the number of teeth being restored. While porcelain and zirconia crowns tend to be more expensive due to their durability and aesthetic appeal, we strive to make these treatments as accessible as possible. At Trovato Family Dentistry, we bring expertise in restoring your smile’s function and beauty with crowns and bridges and offer competitive pricing to ensure you receive the best value.
We accept various dental insurance plans and work closely with leading third-party dental financing companies to provide flexible payment options. Our goal is to ensure that high-quality restorative dentistry is affordable and convenient for all our patients, helping you achieve a healthier, more confident smile without breaking the bank.
