When Does Dr. Booth Recommend a Dental Crown?
A crown completely covers a damaged tooth, protecting the integrity of its root and restoring both full chewing function and aesthetics. The shape and form of the crown closely mimics your natural tooth, and Dr. Booth customizes the shade of your new tooth so the crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
Dr. Booth might recommend a dental crown in these situations:
- To restore a broken tooth
- To replace a large, broken filling
- To rebuild a tooth that has had root canal treatment
- To cover a tooth with cosmetic flaws
- To strengthen a tooth that’s cracked or fractured
When Do You Need a Dental Bridge?
If you’re missing one or more adjacent teeth, and you’re not a candidate for dental implants, a dental bridge in Huntsville may be the ideal solution.
A bridge uses two healthy teeth to anchor dental crowns that support one or more prosthetic teeth in between. The prosthetic teeth “bridge” the gap left by one or multiple missing teeth, restoring chewing function and aesthetics.
