Get a Dental Crown or Bridge
to Restore Your Bite
If you have a severely decayed, weak, or damaged tooth, you’ve found the right practice to make your smile whole again. When you visit Magic Smile Dental for a dental crown or bridge, you’ll benefit from our extensive expertise, caring touch, and advanced technologies. As long as the roots and interior of your damaged or broken tooth are healthy, we can restore it with a dental crown in Linden, NJ.
And if you have a missing tooth, a dental bridge is a cost-effective alternative to a dental implant. Whether you’re struggling with a broken tooth or need to fill a smile gap, crowns and bridges provide excellent functional and cosmetic benefits.
Dental Crowns Restore Damaged Teeth
A dental crown in Linden, NJ is a tooth cap crafted from porcelain or zirconia that restores a compromised tooth’s function, shape, and strength. If a cavity goes unchecked, oral bacteria continues to impact the tooth enamel and dentin. There may not be adequate tooth structure after removing decay to support a filling, in which case a dental crown is required.
When a tooth is too discolored or misshapen to restore with a porcelain veneer, a tooth crown is often the best option. Last, a root canal weakens the interior tooth structure, and a crown is necessary to protect it from future fracture and extraction.
The process starts by trimming and reshaping your tooth to create an ideal base for the crown. Digital impressions of your bite are taken to craft a temporary crown on-site and sent to the dental lab to fabricate your final tooth crown.
Dental Bridges Fill Gaps Left by Tooth Loss
A dental bridge in Linden, NJ is a fixed prosthetic that bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge involves placing crowns on adjacent teeth to anchor the false (pontic) tooth. The process for placing traditional bridges at Magic Smile Dental is similar to that of dental crowns.
Dental bridges improve your chewing ability and speech and eliminate sensitivity and issues that can impact adjacent teeth. But unless you receive an implant-supported bridge, bone loss continues under the false tooth without a tooth root to stimulate your jaw bone.
