Crowns, Bridges and Veneers
JK Dental offers Dental Crowns & Bridges in Hoppers Crossing
Crowns are caps on teeth that are sometimes needed to be placed to strengthen the tooth.
They can last a lot longer than fillings and are the appropriate treatment of choice when a large amount of tooth structure is missing and there is need for additional reinforcement.
Bridges can be done to replace missing teeth by putting crowns on two adjacent teeth for support. This means that the healthy teeth neighboring the gap must be modified to accommodate the bridge, which can weaken them over time. Furthermore, bridges may not provide the same level of long-term stability as implants, as they do not stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss. Bridges are still popular as they are easy to install compared to other options which reduces sugery and recovery time.
Veneers offer a versatile cosmetic solution for enhancing the appearance of your teeth, addressing issues such as discoloration, unevenness, and minor imperfections. Veneers are done on anterior teeth to improve their appearance. They are more conservative than crowns and preserve more tooth structure.
They cannot be done when additional reinforcement is required of if the tooth is structurally compromised. It is important to note that they are merely a cosmetic enhancement and do not fix underlying dental and gum issues.
