Resolve your missing teeth with bridges and crowns

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns & Bridges in Kingwood

Suffering from a tooth loss issue? Or are you in a juncture where you need to choose from an array of restorative procedures to resolve your missing tooth problem? Both Dental Crowns and Bridges are procedures that pave your way in achieving this goal. However, you must be bothering about weighing the efficacy of these procedures. Let us see what Dental crowns and Bridges are in a nutshell.

Dental Crowns in a brief

A crown is made of porcelain which is fused to metal. It could also be made of ceramic, resin or even stainless steel! Porcelain takes the shape of a tooth and makes up the front part of the crown, which is the visible part of your crown. The metal support that is fitted from behind, could be made up of anything - gold, base metal or other alloys. It takes at least two dentists appointments. Your dentist takes the impression of the teeth and fixes the mold of the teeth.

The tooth impressions are sent to dental laboratory to tailor the crown. In the next visit the permanent crown is fitted to his mouth and your dentist prescribes the details what needs to be done to take care of it.

Since porcelain is not as bite resistant as the metals, it may chip over time, thus exposing the metals. Hence the porcelain fusion is not recommended for molars (back teeth) which withstands maximum biting pressures!

Dental Bridges - an overview

Dental bridges as the name suggest, has the word “bridge” which generally serves the purpose of lessening a gap inside your mouth. A Bridge consists of two or more teeth, which are placed by using dental crowns (abutments). It is a kind of prosthetic apparatus which is used to spot the area of the missing teeth. Crowns are attached at each end of it. Artificial tooth fills the gap and connects with the crown.

Bridges primarily are of three types:

Traditional Bridge has a crown like structure which connects on each side of the artificial teeth.
Cantilever is a process when crown gets attached to the artificial teeth.
Maryland Bridge this includes crown which gets attached to the existing teeth.

Facts About Dental Bridges

It is fixed strongly to hold the crown. Unlike dentures which are removable, they do not run the risk of falling out.
Users take less time to adjust this in mouth.

Not many appointments are needed; Two to three sessions are needed after the surgical insertion is made in the bone.

To cut it short bridges serve the purpose of making up for a length of gap created by missing teeth, whereas crowns are used to support the bridges mostly.

I love this dental office, Dr. Santos is very sweet and her assistants are always going above and beyond to give the best experience getting treatment done. I recommend coming here for all your dental needs and they really do work around your schedule. Especially when I work a full week and it’s hard finding offices open on the weekend.

I am have nothing but positives to say about this staff. I went 20 years without going to the dentist because I have been terrified to go since my time in the military. Dr MJ and her staff gave top notch service, they were accomidating, and ensureed that I was not having any issues. They took a step further by allowing my son to be in the room and include him by talking answering his questions and let him carry on a conversation with them the whole time. Thank you for the exceptional service and extremely professional attitudes. 10 out of 10 recommend for anyone.

I was referred by a friend to try out this dentistry office because I was very unsatisfied with my current dentist. I had a root canal done by Dr. Mj and I was so impressed with her and her staff professionalism and quality of work, I just scheduled another procedure for next week. I hardly ever write a review but this time I really wanted to share my experience and recommend Dr. Mj and staff because I hope will be around for a long time providing great experiences for people like me.

I asked the receptionist if i could make an appointment for BRACES & she said yes. i arrived to my appointment only to have to wait 25 minutes in the lobby. they did xrays & took pictures of my teeth with an iphone. then the lady who did a cleaning for me, didn’t even do it properly, saying she didn’t know how to work those machines… After talking to the dentist, she let me know they don’t actually have an orthodontist & they don’t work on braces, only Invisalign. i confronted the receptionist & when i told her they don’t do braces, she said “let me go ask” i said “you don’t need to go ask because i already know” and proceeded to charge me $150 for a cleaning i didn’t ask for & wasn’t even completed because i walked out of there, clearly upset that i wasted my time & got scammed. long story short, totally unprofessional & the receptionist doesn’t even know what services her job provides.
