Restoring Function and Form
Reconstructive dentistry can be seen restoring both functionality and form to your set of teeth. This often involves the placement of dental crowns or bridgework.
If you’ve been thinking about reconstructive dentistry for some time and fear it might be too late, don’t worry! Reconstruction in the form of crowns and bridgework is usually possible even after extended periods of inattention. If you’re uncertain, don’t hesitate to get in contact for a no-obligation consultation. One of our leading dentists will be happy to go through your options with you.
Broken, chipped, fractured, discoloured, decayed or even missing teeth can all be treated.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is essentially a tooth-shaped ‘cap’ that covers the tooth to restore shape, size, and appearance. Once cemented into place, a dental crown will cover the entire visible portion of a tooth right up to the gumline, giving a seamlessly restored solution to chipped or fractured teeth.
Dental crowns can be used to protect a weak tooth from further decay or damage, to restore an already broken tooth, cover misshapen or discoloured teeth, hold a dental bridge in place, cover a dental implant, or for cosmetic modification purposes.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are very similar to dental crowns but are used when a group of teeth are damaged beyond repair or missing. Dental bridges are the ideal solution to replace a tooth that has been extracted or to fill a gap where an adult tooth has never erupted.
A dental bridge sits against your gums and is essentially attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. They are often used in circumstances where someone is ineligible for an implant or wants to avoid a dental surgical procedure.
Dental bridges are excellent when it comes to fixing and improving the appearance of damaged or missing teeth, improving one’s confidence, supporting teeth that have been damaged by decay, and restoring teeth to their natural shape and size.
