Tuscaloosa Implant Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns and Bridges Help Tuscaloosa Patients to Smile Again

Molars so worn down and short that there is hardly any tooth left above the gum line … huge metal fillings around which your teeth are crumbling… teeth that are so severely cracked it seems they could never be repaired… teeth that were lost in an accident – these are just a few of the cases we see all the time.

What do they have in common?

They were all helped in one way or another by dental crowns.

What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns, unlike fillings, inlays, or onlays, cover the entire surface of your tooth, acting in a way, as a brand new, undamaged tooth surface.

Crowns are so strong, they can even hold a cracked tooth together!

They are also used to repair extensive decay, protect a root canal, anchor a bridge, and act as the new tooth on an implant.

Furthermore, crowns are the best and strongest repair solution for those who grind or clench their teeth.

Implant Crowns and Bridges

If you have chosen a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, you’ll need a crown to cover the post. Or, if you have a bridge, implants can help stabilize the bridge and can allow you to cover more missing teeth than a traditional bridge might.

Implant bridges are superior to traditional bridges for all the same reasons implants are such a great idea – they stop bone loss and support your bone structure while giving you the most stable and comfortable chewing surface possible.
