WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?

A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. Crowns can protect a damaged tooth and can also be used to create bridges to replace missing teeth. Dr. Daney will typically use a crown to restore a tooth that has been damaged, but they can also be used for cosmetic purposes in order to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can be made in three different materials, all-metal, ceramic-on-metal, zirconia and all-ceramic. Where the crown is located will determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth should have a zirconia crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients throughout Maryland will often use ceramic-on-metal crowns since they look natural but have the durability that only metal can provide.

WHAT ARE DENTAL BRIDGES?

A dental bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. At Care Soft Dental, we provide clients with dental bridges if they want to replace a tooth without wearing dentures or undergoing surgery. The new tooth is held in place by two crowns. It looks natural and is made out of a ceramic or porcelain material to match the surrounding teeth. As an experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Daney makes sure that the new tooth looks and feels amazing. This is a popular option for patients throughout the 20850 area.
