In this television interview, Dr. Dodson explains what dental crowns are, and how they can help you.
Crowns are needed when a tooth or teeth are too badly decayed, broken, or cracked to be restored with a filling. Crowns are normally needed for teeth that have had root canals and are also used on dental implants to replace missing teeth,
Bridges are used when one or more teeth are missing and there are healthy teeth on both sides of the open space.
Modern cosmetic restorations like dental implants, crowns, and bridges look and feel just like your own natural teeth. All result in improved appearance and oral health. How? Crowns preserve compromised teeth, and combined with bridges, they prevent teeth from drifting. Implants also prevent drifting and preserve bone density. All three procedures are directly responsible for improved self-confidence…which will, of course, keep you smiling!
