Dental Crowns & Bridges Frequently Asked Questions

When Are Dental Crowns Necessary?

Tooth crowns are designed to fit over a damaged tooth all the way to the gumline, like a cap. They protect your natural tooth and root by covering it and closely matching its shape and size. Ceramic porcelain makes for a natural appearance, so your restoration blends nicely into your smile and isn’t noticeable. Porcelain is also a durable material that provides you with the function and support you need to chew and eat with ease. Our dentists in Mountainside may recommend a dental crown for the following situations: Tooth decay beyond what filling can restore. A cracked or fractured tooth. To rebuild and support a tooth following a root canal. As a single tooth restoration for a dental implant. To restore a tooth with cosmetic imperfections. A tooth crown is an excellent solution to protect your natural tooth’s integrity while aesthetically complementing your smile.

Can Dental Bridges Replace Missing Teeth?

We can replace one or more missing adjacent teeth with a dental bridge. Using tooth crowns as anchors to your healthy teeth, a bridge uses prosthetic teeth to fill the gap in between. Your bridge is also made of porcelain and will complement your smile as well as keeping neighboring teeth from shifting. It will also give you back chewing function to make eating comfortable again

What is like Getting a Crown or Bridge at Mountainside Family Dental?

The procedure for completing a tooth crown or dental bridge is similar and straightforward. For either restoration, you’ll need two appointments with your Mountainside dentist. During your first appointment, Dr. Kudla Sr. or Jr. will prepare your tooth for its new restoration by reshaping it and taking an impression. Digital impressions make this process much more comfortable for our patients because we can scan a 3-D image directly to the dental lab. Digital impressions also speed up turn-around time, so you’re not waiting for weeks for your new crown or bridge. When the dental lab has completed your restoration, you’ll return to Mountainside Family Dental to have our dentists permanently place your crown or bridge. They’ll make any necessary adjustments to your restoration at this time to ensure that you can chew and eat with ease.

Are Dental Crowns Common?

Dental crowns are a widely accepted and common solution in modern dentistry, used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. Their versatility and effectiveness in preserving dental health make them a popular choice among patients and dental professionals alike. If you are considering a dental crown, consult with your dentist to determine the best treatment option for your needs.

Do Dental Crowns Hurt?

Most patients find that getting a dental crown is not a painful experience, thanks to modern dental techniques and anesthetics. While some temporary discomfort or sensitivity is normal, severe pain is rare. For a comfortable and professional dental crown procedure, trust your experienced Mountainside NJ dentist to ensure the best care for your dental health. By understanding the process and knowing what to expect, you can approach your dental crown procedure with confidence and ease.
