Read on to learn about the important benefits of dental crowns, bridges and implants.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are "caps" that are placed over the teeth. Dental crowns are used to restore cracked, badly decayed, weakened, chipped and damaged teeth. Dental crowns can improve your smile and make your damaged teeth stronger. They can also restore your ability to speak and help you chew better. Dental crowns restore full function of your damaged and weakened teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more dental crowns for the teeth on the sides of the gap and one or more false teeth in between. Once a tooth is lost, the existing teeth begin to shift at an accelerated rate. A fixed bridge can help prevent the existing teeth from drifting out of place. With a fixed bridge, you can also improve the appearance of the teeth that you are crowning. 

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots made of titanium. They are placed into your jaw to hold artificial teeth. Missing teeth can ruin a nice smile. Implants will restore your smile and enhance your appearance. Missing teeth can also cause a cascade of oral health problems such as bone loss and shifting of existing teeth. With implants, you will avoid developing these problems.
