Crowns and Bridges in Troy, NY
Sometimes we have patients who want to smile but hold back because they feel self-conscious. It's a common problem for many people with damaged, badly stained, or missing teeth. Evergreen Dental Care wants to help you smile without fear. Dental bridges can solve all of these dental issues and bring new life into a patient's smile. Dr. Hogeun Chi and his dental team at Evergreen Dental Care can help you with all your crown and bridge needs.
What Can a Crown or Bridge Do?
Both crowns and bridges mimic the appearance of natural teeth; from the shape to the color, we develop them to look just like the patient's natural teeth. Anyone who didn't know better would think they are real. A crown covers a single tooth, whereas a bridge covers the gap caused by one or more missing teeth. They function to protect the teeth they sit on, keeping the teeth functional for the patient's day-to-day life and improving the quality of their smile.
Crowns and bridges are versatile solutions to resolve several issues our patients might experience:
- Both crowns and bridges replace unhealthy or significantly damaged teeth, creating the look of a healthy tooth that might be unachievable otherwise
- Bridges close the gap caused by a missing tooth or teeth by using the support of surrounding teeth
- Crowns support weakened and damaged teeth, increasing their strength and improving their appearance by concealing their flaws
- Crowns are often used on root-canaled teeth to protect and strengthen them
You can come into our Troy, New York office to meet with Dr. Chi to discuss the dental options available to you in your unique dental situation.
Building Your Smile
Not only do tooth-colored crowns and bridges mimic the appearance of natural teeth, filling out and rebuilding the patient's smile, but they also function as replacement teeth. The patient can not only smile without worry, but they can also chew with them, providing a significant increase in quality of life.
Dental crowns and bridges last for an average of 10 to 15 years but can last more than 20 years with excellent dental care. Other than committing to routine dental visits and a good oral healthcare routine, crowns and bridges do not typically require any special care.
