Clemmons VIllage Smiles
Discover the transformative power of dental crowns and enjoy a restored, radiant smile. Before receiving dental crowns, many people endure damaged, decayed, or discolored teeth that can impact their confidence and oral health. Everyday activities like eating and speaking can become uncomfortable, and the appearance of your smile may suffer.
A crown is a piece of metal, plastic, ceramic, or porcelain that covers a damaged tooth. It’s crafted to look like the original tooth and can enhance your tooth’s appearance and stability. A crown acts as a protective covering and is sealed in place with dental cement.
Also referred to as a cap, a crown covers the entire tooth and is shaped and sized similar to the natural tooth so it will feel like a regular tooth and will function the same once fitted.
A bridge is used to bridge the gap of one or more missing teeth. This dental device consists of two crowns that attach to your teeth, and an artificial tooth in the middle to fill in the empty gap.
Your dentist can surgically insert a dental implant into your gums to support an artificial tooth. He uses a bone-grafting procedure, which involves grafting bone from another area of your body onto your jawbone to secure dental-implant placement.

Testimonials
If you have a cracked tooth, are experiencing tooth sensitivity, have deep decay, or have a large silver filling that is breaking down, then you might need a dental crown. You might need a dental bridge if you are missing one or more teeth or have a removable partial denture but want a more permanent solution.
Frequently asked questions
The experienced dentists at Clemmons Village could suggest a crown for several reasons, such as to:
Whether you need to improve the look of your smile or the functionality of a tooth, talk with your dentist to see if a crown is right for you.
There are a few different types of dental bridges. Traditional dental bridges are the most common types which involves bonding the browns of your natural teeth on either side to fill the space in between. Cantilever bridges are similar but with one crown on one end. Maryland bridges, or resin-bonded bridges, use mental wings instead of crowns which are typically used to replace front teeth.
Implant-support bridges are similar to traditional bridges, but for on top of dental implants. The type of bridge you need will be determined on your age, the condition of your teeth and overall preference which your dentist will discuss with you.
The majority of the time, two appointments are required to complete dental-crown or dental-bridge procedures. During the first appointment, your Clemmons Village professional takes X-rays to determine the health of teeth that require crowns or bridges.
Next, your dentist administers anesthesia, and files down or builds up the tooth prior to crown placement. Your dentist might also insert a dental implant to secure a bridge. He takes an impression of your teeth, which is sent to a dental lab where a custom crown or bridge is created.
Your dentist fabricates temporary crowns to safeguard your teeth until a permanent crown or bridge is ready for placement. If you’d like to find out if a crown or bridge is right for you, contact the experienced dental professionals at Clemmons Village or make an appointment online today.
Before either procedure, you will be given local anesthesia to numb your gums beforehand, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. Dental bridges are typically more comfortable than partial dentures too.
