Dental crowns and dental bridges allow your dentist to fix imperfections that may otherwise interfere with your bite.

Lovett Dental Sugar Land provides dental crowns and bridges designed from durable porcelain. This material will last for many years, ensuring a beautiful smile in the short and long term. If you’re considering dental crowns or dental bridges, we’re here to make sure they perfectly fit your smile.

What are Dental Crowns?doctor shows an example of dental crowns and bridges

Dental crowns are durable caps secured over flawed teeth. Each crown is placed over a single tooth and is shaped and colored to match the surrounding teeth closely. Porcelain is the most durable and long-lasting crown material available, but crowns are also made from resin, ceramic, or metal.

Crowns completely cover the natural teeth, so it’s like getting a new tooth from the surface appearance. They should stay in place for years without any maintenance beyond your regular routine. You can chew, talk, and smile naturally with a crown in place.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are replacement teeth held in place by two crowns. The bridge is attached to the crowns, and then the crowns are placed over the teeth on each end of the gap between teeth. False teeth are placed along the bridge and fill the gap on the gumline.

Bridges are made from porcelain as well as ceramic, metal, and resin. At Lovett Dental Sugar Land, we use porcelain bridges because they last a long time and are easily colored to match the surrounding teeth.

When to Consider Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns are commonly used to cover one or more of the following imperfections:

You can also use dental crowns for cosmetic enhancement if you don’t like your natural tooth’s shape, color, or size. If you have a root canal, your dentist may put a cap over the tooth receiving the canal once the procedure is complete.

Dental bridges are used to fill the hole left by missing teeth. They prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place while allowing you to speak clearly and chew more naturally. Bridges are often considered functional essentials to maintain the integrity of surrounding teeth, but they are also used cosmetically.
