How Does A Crown Or Bridge For Teeth Work?

Do you know why teeth may need a crown or a bridge put in place? An integral part of modern dentistry there is a number of reasons why these would be used within the mouth. A dental insert like this ensures that the structure of the mouth remains stable and in place when there are gaps, damage, or spaces present. Whether protecting repaired damage or holding a tooth in place, these can be effective methods of restoring both the strength and image of your mouth. Read on to find out more!

How It Works

A crown will cover a damaged tooth to both protect it and ensure it isn’t damaged further or encroached on by a surrounding tooth. In crown bridge teeth, a bridge is used to fill a gap when a tooth has been completely removed to stop the mouth from shifting or reforming the dental structure. Gaps left by extractions or damage can eventually cause the remaining dental structure to rotate or shift into the empty spaces. This in turn can cause a misaligned bite to form over time as well as create other spaces in the mouth. When you have open spaces it leaves room for bacteria to build up and can form a range of gum infections and diseases if left unseen. These are situations best avoided by ensuring you have the proper elements installed and the right care for your mouth. These inserts can be cemented to the natural teeth or implants put in the empty space beneath, or they can be designed as removable denture type fittings. With both of these dental solutions, you have a choice of material as well as colour design to ensure they match your existing colour perfectly. Porcelain or ceramic can both be matched to the colour of your natural dental structure so these are most commonly opted for when possible.

How Are They Made?

Before either component can be made, the existing tooth must be reduced in size or removed completely so that the crown or bridge will fill the gap in the most ideal way. Your dental professional will take moulds and ensure all elements are correct before creating and installing. If porcelain is to be used, your dentist will make sure to design and align the correct shade, in order to match the colour of your existing elements. Using this impression professionals can construct a fitting that will sit ideally in the mouth.

When considering damaged teeth, a crown or bridge can be integral to the health and longevity of your mouth and dental structure. When you trust our professional team we can ideally cater to all your dental hygiene and care needs. Whether check-ins or procedures, be sure to have all the information when looking at the dental process. Contact us today to find out more!

Awesome Smiles is by far the best office I've experience. Being in the dental field myself, I can appreciate the professionalism of the office. The dentist and hygienist are very thorough and detailed. I look forward to coming in for my routine checkups and have made Awesome Smiles my home...

If I could give Awesome Smiles negative stars, I would. My experience here was an absolute train wreck, and it all comes down to the rude and incompetent Patricia Viriato.

First, I was told I needed a deep cleaning, and this so-called "professional" had the nerve to claim my insurance would only cover a measly 20%. When I called my insurance directly, they informed me I was actually covered for 85%—what a shocker! When I confronted Patricia about her blatant lie, she just doubled down, insisting it was still 20%. It was like talking to a wall made of ignorance.

Feeling pressured and trapped, I reluctantly agreed to fork over $900 upfront, believing I could get reimbursed later. They even coerced me into making a down payment right then and there.

To make matters worse, my insurance denied the claim because Awesome Smiles didn’t even perform the necessary periodontal charting. Seriously, how incompetent can one office be?

When I returned to demand a refund, Patricia acted as if I was the problem. Her attitude was dismissive and infuriating. She couldn’t accept that she messed everything up. After I insisted on speaking to a manager, I was finally told they would process a refund—but honestly, it felt like they were just trying to brush me off.

Do yourself a favor and avoid Awesome Smiles like the plague. Patricia is a prime example of everything wrong with customer service—rude, uninformed, and completely unhelpful. Save your time, money, and sanity—go anywhere else!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Isabelle and Ana! They made me feel so comfortable during my visits, which was a relief since I was a bit nervous about the amount of work I needed done. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into a wonderful one, and I truly appreciate it. They also worked with my busy schedule, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place—everyone I interacted with was just fantastic!

My visits here have been great! Friendly, kind staff and they made me feel comfortable from the start to finish. The service quality is truly exceptional! I'm very happy with my visits! Dental assistant Manny is very attentive and kind!
The only exception is I wish if they promise incentives to their patients for bringing new patients that they would follow through on their promise.

I am literally the biggest baby when it comes to having to go to the dentist. I am just always so nervous and scared of any and everything. The staff and doctors at Awesome Smiles totally put me at ease. I felt greeted and like a VIP from the moment I walked in the door. Dr Isabelle Morris was my Doctor and she was very patient very understanding and kept me at ease the entire time. This has been my most memorable experience at a dentist's office and I feel encouraged to follow my treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this office and will be bringing my entire family here. Another great thing is their hours of operation 8am to 8pm so so convenient. Highly Recommended.. Latoya

I can't say enough about the fabulous experience I had with Dr. Michelle Luis. A true professional in every sense, she is compassionate, empathetic, and possesses a gift that immediately puts you at ease. Her treatment approach is truly collaborative, and she never pressured me to proceed until I was ready to do so. Her skill is unmatched, attention to detail is unparalleled, and - as someone who loathes visiting the dentist - possesses such a gentle touch, that I was never reminded that I was sitting in a dentist's chair. A finer dental experience I have yet to experience. If anyone were to ask, I would certainly recommend they see Dr. Michelle Luis as quickly as they can.

The team at Awesome Smiles provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, where as going to the dentist traditionally has a negative connotation. All of the staff members are friendly and easy to get a long with. In fact, they all remember my name without hesitation. They took good care of my brother and myself. They recommended me to do the Invisalign and I am really enjoying the progress thus far with my treatment and their care.

I called originally for my partner to get a Root Canal done as an emergency visit. Awesome Smiles, was extremely accommodating to get him in next day. Other dental offices were wanting Full Payment on the day of procedure. Awesome Smiles was willing to work with us on a strict budget, we didn't have to pay for the initial visit. My partner got the Root Canal done, and then we went back a week later for the Crown to be put on. The energy of the whole office is very upbeat and everyone makes you feel as though your NOT going to a dull and boring dentist's office. We would definitely recommend to everyone. A+++++++.

I highly recommend Awesome Smiles. I have an infection in my wisdom tooth and my consultation was completely free. Got a cheap script for antibiotics until I get all 4 of my messed up wisdom teeth taken out next week and they offer non credit check payments that are reasonable. Dental work can be super expensive but what they quoted me without insurance, I feel like this is a God send and probably the best price I’ve ever seen for what I need. Everybody there from reception (Isabella) to radiology (Jasmine) to my dentist Dr.Sunny was amazing and caring. I was a bit anxious going in cause of poor treatment by medical professionals in the past, but the low cost for amazing service put me at ease immediately and I look forward to going back.
