Crowns and Implants
Affordable Aesthetic Improvements:
To replace missing or compromised teeth, a crown,
implant or bridge may be needed. A crown (or cap) is
usually placed on teeth that have been heavily restored in order to
increase strength, function, and aesthetics. The procedure involves
removing 1-2mm of tooth structure and then taking an impression. This
impression then sent to a dental lab for fabrication. During the two
weeks required to make your crown, a temporary crown is cemented on for
looks. The final crown is then cemented on your tooth in a short
procedure.
An implant is for areas of the mouth where there is no
tooth root or any other significant tooth structure. A consult with an
oral surgeon is required as a first step to assess the quality of bone
in your jaw. Then, at a
subsequent appointment, a titanium implant is placed in your jaw under
local anesthetic. After a period of healing and integration, impressions
are taken and an implant crown is cemented in. Depending on the location
of the missing tooth, a temporary tooth may be fabricated for you.
