Crowns and Bridges: How They Restore Function and Enhance the Beauty of Your Smile
When it comes to restoring your smile after damage or tooth loss, crowns and bridges offer more than just a cosmetic fix.
These versatile dental restorations offered here at Goehring Dental, help enhance the appearance of your teeth while also improving their strength and function. If you're looking to restore both form and function to your smile, crowns and bridges may be the perfect solution for you!
What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are prosthetic devices designed to restore damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a weakened or damaged tooth, providing protection and restoring its appearance. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants.
Why Choose Crowns?
Crowns are an excellent choice when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or when you want to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth. They provide several benefits, including:
Restored Strength: Crowns reinforce weak or cracked teeth, allowing them to function normally and resist further damage.
Aesthetic Improvement: Custom-made crowns match the color and shape of your natural teeth, seamlessly blending in to create a natural look.
Protection: Crowns help protect vulnerable teeth from additional wear or damage, prolonging their lifespan.

Why Choose Bridges?
If you're missing one or more teeth, bridges can help fill the gap. Here's why a bridge might be right for you:
Improved Function: Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew properly. A bridge restores full function, making eating and speaking easier.
Prevents Shifting: When a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth can shift into the empty space, leading to misalignment. A bridge keeps your teeth in place, preserving your bite.
A Natural Look: Just like crowns, bridges are custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth, giving you a complete, beautiful smile.
