In fact, 2.3 million implant-supported crowns are made annually. Of course, your unique case may require more than just a simple crown. That\u2019s where dental bridges come in.<\/p>\n<p>While both can work to restore your smile, it\u2019s not always so clear which one is best for your treatment. The next time you visit the dentist, you\u2019ll feel confident knowing what bridges and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silvercreekdentistry.com\/same-day-dentistry.html\">dental crowns in Ripon<\/a> can accomplish!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental crowns are fixed prosthetics that are cemented to existing teeth or connected to implants via an abutment. Their main purpose is to cover and protect natural teeth that were damaged either from decay or a dental injury. This prevents the tooth from fracturing further as well as block bacteria from reaching the vulnerable pulp where tissue and nerves lie. Bacteria that reaches this area can cause an infection, so it\u2019s essential that you get a crown if it\u2019s recommended by a dentist.<\/p>\n<p>Crowns are also ideal when a filling has become too large to sufficiently protect a tooth or a tooth has recently undergone root canal treatment. However, crowns aren\u2019t only for restoring or protecting existing teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>What are Dental Bridges?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental bridges take the concept of dental crowns and expand their versatility even further. A bridge consists of three dental prosthetics and are mainly intended to replace one or multiple missing teeth. To do this, a dental crown has two other crowns attached on either side. In order to create room for the bridge, the dentist removes a very small amount of existing tooth enamel, allowing the crowns on either side to fit on top of your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the center tooth acts as the replacement and effectively bridges the gap in your smile. If you want to replace teeth in this way but create a stronger foundation, bridges can also be supported with dental implants. This option is also ideal if you intend on replacing multiple teeth at a time.<\/p>\n<h2>Which One Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n<p>When choosing a restoration, you\u2019ll need to take your dentist\u2019s advice and consider which teeth you are replacing. You\u2019ll also need to consider the extent of the damage currently in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have a large cavity or are pursuing root canal treatment, a dental crown will be necessary. If the damage isn\u2019t as extensive, a filling may be enough.<\/p>\n<p>If you intend on replacing an entire tooth, you\u2019ll need a bridge to prevent overeruption from occurring. When teeth are missing, other teeth begin to shift into the empty space. This will cause your bite to change and may cause complications later in life.<\/p>\n<p>Have more questions about the process of receiving restorations?
