Lisk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental Crowns Repair or Replace Teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crown is a tooth-shaped covering that repairs a weak, worn, severely decayed, injured, or otherwise damaged tooth. Often called a cap, the dental crown can rescue a problem tooth from extraction, allowing you to retain as much of your natural smile as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common uses for a dental crown include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding together parts of a broken tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring strength to a weak or worn tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repairing large spots of decay when there is not enough healthy tooth to place a filling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making cosmetic improvements to flawed front teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the final step in a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/root-canals\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">root canal<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to rescuing a natural tooth, the dental crown may also replace a single tooth without affecting the surrounding teeth with the help of a dental implant. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental Bridges Only Replace Missing Teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dental bridge is a set of three or more dental crowns affixed together to replace one, two, or a succession of several teeth missing in a row. A traditional fixed bridge uses the two natural teeth surrounding the gap as anchors. A crown is secured to each anchor tooth, and the replacement crowns form a literal bridge over the gap in between. The fixed bridge is a permanent prosthetic that can only be removed by your dentist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the benefits of a fixed bridge include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restored ability to eat and speak properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevents the surrounding teeth from drifting out of place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When necessary, all-ceramic bridges blend with surrounding teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants can also retain a dental bridge for a sturdier replacement.

Enjoy a well-functioning crown or bridge for years to come by staying on top of your good dental hygiene habits. Make sure you continue to brush and floss regularly, brushing at least two times a day and flossing daily.\u00a0You should keep up with your regularly-scheduled visits at our office, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental crowns and bridges can last for many years with proper care and maintenance, but remember that no dental work will last forever.\u00a0<\/span>Be sure to notify us if you notice your crown breaks or becomes loose or uncomfortable, and w<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e will continue to check in on your dental work in follow-up appointments. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule an Appointment With Your North Raleigh Dentist Today!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Are you in need of a dental crown or bridge?
