We Restore Damaged and Missing Teeth with High-quality Dental Crowns and Bridges
Are you unhappy with your smile because of damaged or missing teeth? Your beautiful, functional smile may be closer than you think! Faircourt Dental offers dental crowns and bridges in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, as a conservative and cost-effective solution for damaged or missing teeth. Crowns and bridges placed by Dr. Sabrina Salim and the team are customized and created from high-quality materials to offer a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
A bridge is a non-surgical way to replace one or many teeth. A bridge uses the adjacent teeth as anchors to support the missing tooth or teeth. With today’s dental advancements, a bridge can be fabricated in a fairly short period of time, using a metal or nonmetal foundation. Don’t let that missing tooth affect the way you speak, eat, and smile. Bridges yield immediate results that last a lifetime. Ask your dentist what type of bridge may be right for you.
What are dental crowns?
A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, enhances the size, shape, and color of your teeth to match those around it. Our crowns are crafted from strong, natural-looking materials to create a durable and lifelike outcome.
Dental crowns provide numerous functional and cosmetic benefits. Some include:
- Repairing significantly broken or decayed teeth
- Protecting your tooth after root canal treatment
- Capping off a dental implant
- Supporting a traditional dental bridge
- Improving the aesthetics of a misshapen or severely discolored tooth
Don’t let damaged or cosmetically unappealing teeth ruin your smile and confidence. Our premium dental crowns rebuild your teeth to their prime state, restoring function and beauty. They are also made to last and can last many years with proper maintenance.
What are dental bridges?
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by spanning the gap left without teeth. Like an architectural bridge, a dental bridge connects two points on either side of the missing teeth. A traditional bridge uses the surrounding teeth as anchors. The support teeth (abutments) must be reshaped and crowned to ensure your bridge is securely attached.
By filling gaps left by missing teeth, a dental bridge helps preserve your oral health, prevents shifting of adjacent teeth, and restores your ability to eat and speak confidently. Ultimately, your bridge offers a snuggle, personalized fit, and looks and functions like natural teeth.
How are dental crowns and bridges placed?
Both require at least two dental appointments. The first visit includes an initial consultation to examine your teeth and overall health. A traditional dental bridge replaces 1-4 missing teeth in a row. If you have more missing teeth, we recommend an implant bridge or full mouth denture.
After consultation, the dentist will prepare your teeth by reshaping the abutment teeth to accommodate your crown’s thickness. We administer this procedure after numbing your teeth with local anesthetics, although sedation dentistry is also available for patients who are anxious about the procedure.
The next step is to take digital scans of your teeth. These digital molds create a blueprint that allows our master ceramist to fabricate your crown and bridge to the exact specifications of your teeth. Until your bridge and crowns are ready, we’ll temporarily restore your prepped teeth to shield them from injuries, infections, and extreme temperatures.
When your restorations are ready, you’ll book an appointment with our dental team for placement. We often try in your new restoration to ensure it looks natural and maintains optimal alignment. When all is set, we’ll bond your restorations to your teeth with permanent adhesives. Our high-quality bridges maintain their strength and aesthetics long after placement, promising years of eating and smiling confidently.
