Save Worn and Chipped Teeth

In most cases, worn and chipped teeth are not very noticeable and do not affect daily life much. However, worn and chipped teeth can affect your self-confidence, reducing how much you smile throughout the day. Anyone in Edison, NJ, wanting to save their worn and chipped teeth can receive dental crowns and bridges. The doctors at Frechtman Family Dental - Dr. Saul Frechtman and Dr. David Frechtman - understand the need for a perfect smile and help save your worn and chipped teeth.

Dental Bridges

Edison, NJ, patients can enjoy the benefits of receiving crowns and bridges to help save their worn and chipped teeth. Dental bridges work best for those who do not have a jaw strong enough to support a dental implant. Bridges rely on the surrounding teeth to support them and can be used with dental crowns to save damaged teeth. 

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns get placed to cap off chipped or worn teeth. They are not meant to replace a missing tooth but can create a protective layer over a natural tooth, restoring its health and look. Essentially, when used with dental bridges, crowns can help improve a smile and save worn and chipped teeth. In addition, the crown protects the tooth from further damage caused by chewing, which it may not withstand if left alone and untreated. 

Crown Placement

When receiving dental crowns, patients are given anesthesia to make them more relaxed and comfortable. The tooth is then prepared, and some of the structure may need to be removed to make room for the crown. Once prepared, the dentist takes impressions, which get sent to the lab and used to create a permanent crown. Next, a temporary crown is placed until the permanent crown is ready. 

Crowns and bridges have been used to help Edison, NJ, residents save their worn and chipped teeth. The doctors at Frechtman Family Dental can help keep your teeth and restore your smile. Call (732) 548-8600 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Soul Frechtman or Dr. David Frechtman.
