Crown and Bridge
At Pickens Family Dentistry, we offer crown and bridge services in Pickens, SC, for new and existing dental patients. These are two proven and effective solutions for restoring and enhancing damaged or missing teeth.
What are Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made devices to fit on the top—or crown—of a tooth. They’re used to restore the appearance and function of teeth that have undergone a root canal or that have had extensive decay that’s already been treated with fillings or another dental treatment. Crowns may also be used to support dental bridges or to cover dental implants.
Benefits of Crowns
The benefits of crowns include:
- Restores the look and function of damaged teeth
- Protects weakened teeth
- Improves the smile
- Offers strength and support after root canal treatment
- Generally improves longevity and durability of the tooth
What are Bridges?
Dental bridges are a kind of dental appliance that is for replacing one or more natural teeth. They’re made up of the needed number of artificial teeth—called pontics—that are anchored to the adjacent teeth or dental implants for support. Bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly and also help to prevent abutting teeth from shifting out of position.
Benefits of Bridges
The many benefits of dental bridges include the following:
- Restores ability to chew and speak properly
- Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting out of place
- It helps to maintain the shape and structure of the face
- Enhances smile by replacing missing teeth
- Provides long-lasting results with proper care and maintenance
