Crown and Bridge Seattle – Bpdic (Bellevue Prosthodontics)
Crowns and Bridges Seattle A dental crown or dental cap is a custom made restoration that covers a tooth with sustained significant loss of structure. Crowns basically restore the form and function of the teeth which are decayed or weakened by root canal treatment or fractures. The difference between Crowns and Bridges is that crown strengthens the structure of a single tooth while bridge replaces one or more teeth by taking support from the adjacent teeth.
Procedures for Crowns and Bridges First Appointment – The tooth is prepared. Preparation involves, recountouring the teeth by removing a portion of enamel. Impressions are made by the Seattle dentist. Temporary crowns are made, to protect the exposed teeth and gums, while the crown / bridge is made in the dental laboratory. Second Appointment: Your Prosthodontics Seattle, will make any necessary adjustment before cementing the crown/bridge, check your chewing and bitting for accuracy and ensure the crown/bridge conforms to the surrounding tissue. “The Patient leaves the clinic with a HAPPY SMILE.” Optional Visit : A recall visit is done to confirm the comfort of the patient, atleast 2 days after the fixation of the permanent crown / bridge.
