Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dundee, MI
At Ballpark Family Dental, we are dedicated to maintaining healthy, beautiful, and confident smiles. We are pleased to offer dental crowns and bridges to restore weak, damaged, or missing teeth, keeping your smile in the game. We use the latest technology and techniques to deliver aesthetic, durable restorations that can last for many years with proper care.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted cap designed to cover the visible portions of a weak or damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and function. At Ballpark Family Dental, we offer crowns made of the highest-quality materials, including zirconia, e-max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). We are also happy to offer gold crowns upon request for those seeking an exceptionally strong and durable restorative solution.
The following are some of the reasons Dr. Ball may recommend a dental crown:
- To restore a severely decayed tooth or one with a large filling
- To cover a chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged tooth
- To fortify a tooth after root canal therapy
- To cover a dental implant or hold a dental bridge in place
- To improve the appearance of a worn, discolored, or misshapen tooth
What Is the Dental Crown Process?
We will first prepare the affected tooth by removing any decayed or damaged structure and reshaping it to accommodate your new restoration. Next, we will take a digital scan of your tooth that a dental lab will use to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will protect your tooth as your permanent one is being created.
When your crown is ready, we'll have it fitted and cemented onto your prepared tooth and make any adjustments needed for optimal comfort and function. Your new dental crown will restore your ability to chew and bite and enhance your smile's health and appearance.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device custom-crafted to replace one or several teeth in a row. It is anchored to dental crowns placed on natural teeth on either side of the gap with natural-looking teeth in between. At Ballpark Family Dental, we offer dental bridges made of the same high-quality materials as dental crowns to deliver long-lasting smiles.
The following are some of the many benefits of dental bridges:
- They bridge gaps left by missing teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
- They restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile confidently.
- They prevent the neighboring teeth from tilting or shifting, preserving the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- They redistribute the forces of your bite, lowering your risk of periodontal disease, uneven tooth wear, and even TMJ discomfort.
- They offer a long-term, fixed solution to restore your smile.
What Is the Dental Bridge Process?
Placing a dental bridge is similar to a crown. We will prepare the two teeth on either side of the gap to accommodate the crowns that will hold your bridge in place. Next, we will take a digital scan of your mouth to use as a blueprint for your new restoration. A temporary bridge will protect your prepared teeth as you wait. When your new bridge is ready, we will check to ensure its fit and comfort and cement it in place, enhancing the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
