Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or even longer. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene play a crucial role in their longevity.
Are crowns and bridges painful?
No, the process for getting crowns and bridges is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is used during the preparation phase to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free.
Can crowns and bridges look natural?
Absolutely. We use high-quality materials matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring your crowns and bridges look as natural and lifelike as possible.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Care for them as you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Special care may be needed for flossing around bridges, and we'll provide you with all the guidance you need.
What is the cost of crowns and bridges?
The cost varies depending on individual needs and materials used. We offer transparent pricing and financing options to ensure our services are affordable for everyone.
Will my dental insurance cover the cost of my crown or bridge?
Most dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for crowns and bridges as they are considered necessary restorative procedures. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific policy. Our office team can help you understand your benefits and will work with your insurance company to maximize your coverage.
How quickly can I get a crown or bridge done?
The entire process typically requires two to three visits over a few weeks. The first visit is for preparation and impression taking, the second for fitting and adjustment, and possibly a third for final adjustments. We strive to complete your treatment as efficiently as possible without compromising quality.
Are there different types of crowns and bridges available?
Yes, there are several types of crowns and bridges made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, gold, and metal alloys. Each type has its advantages, and the choice depends on the location of the missing tooth, aesthetic considerations, and functional needs.
What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth with a bridge?
Failing to replace a missing tooth can lead to a number of dental issues, including shifting of the surrounding teeth, changes in bite, difficulty chewing, and potential loss of bone in the jaw. A bridge helps prevent these complications by effectively filling the gap and restoring your mouth's natural function.
Can I replace an old crown or bridge?
Yes, old or worn-out crowns and bridges can be replaced. If you have a crown or bridge that is damaged, showing signs of wear, or no longer fits properly, it's important to replace it to maintain oral health and functionality. We can assess your existing restoration and recommend the best course of action.
