A dental bridge relies on healthy teeth at each end of your smile gap to anchor it with crowns. A bridge fills in the open space with a prosthetic tooth. Because the healthy teeth that anchor the crowns have to be altered so the crowns will fit properly, a bridge is considered a permanent restoration.

Your dental bridge is customized with durable ceramic porcelain designed to complement your smile. Many patients who don’t want to have implant surgery or who don’t have enough healthy bone to support a dental implant find a dental bridge to be an excellent solution for one or more missing teeth. With good home care and routine dental checkups and teeth cleanings, your dental bridge can last anywhere from 12 to 15 years.

Other Tooth Replacement Options

If you’re living with compromised or missing teeth, a dental bridge is only one of your tooth replacement options. Fort Collins dentist Dr. Jordan Humbert is happy to meet with and evaluate your teeth so he can review all of your choices with you.

Dental crowns in Fort Collins, CO, restore decayed and damaged teeth. If you have a cavity too large or severe for a dental filling, your dentist may recommend a dental crown to repair it. Our dental crowns are made of the highest quality materials and customized for each patient’s unique needs.

The Dental Crown Process

First, our team examines your mouth and locates the decay. Next, we thoroughly remove the decay from the tooth and clean it to shield it from bacteria buildup. We then prepare the tooth by reshaping it and finish the treatment by cementing the crown in place. Dental crowns at Centre Family Dentistry can be completed in two convenient visits.

A Dental Crown Can Save Your Smile

A fractured or damaged tooth can be challenging to keep clean and bacteria-free. Over time, an untreated broken or decayed tooth can collect plaque and bacteria, leading to cavities, periodontal disease, and infection.

A dental crown can save your smile if you have a damaged or decayed tooth. Tooth crowns can last for many years, protect your oral health, and allow you to chew food without discomfort.

Call Your Fort Collins Dentist Today

Please call us today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Humbert or Dr. Horst.

Our dentists in Fort Collins are experts in designing and placing custom-made dental crowns. Your comfort is our priority, so we always make sure you feel relaxed and at ease before every appointment and procedure.

To ensure you don’t experience discomfort, we administer a local anesthetic to numb the area in your mouth where we’ll be working. We even offer nitrous oxide sedation for a more tranquil and stress-free experience.

Dental Crown Placement

Dental crowns generally take two appointments to complete. The first appointment is when we reshape your natural tooth, take impressions to create the final dental crown, and place a temporary crown. We will schedule the second appointment when we receive the final crown back from the lab. During the second appointment, we also check the crown’s fit, shape, size, and color. We secure it over the natural tooth using dental cement and finish the process by polishing it, so it matches its neighboring pearly whites.

Can a Crown Come Loose or Fall Out?

Crowns can sometimes become loose or fall out if you bite down too hard or sustain an injury to the mouth. However, there’s no need to worry. Our dentists can repair or replace your crown in no time!

Dental crowns are a natural-looking solution for protecting teeth that have been damaged or compromised beyond the enamel’s ability to protect and support.

Dental crowns are used in place of fillings when the extent of the damage to the tooth makes a filling unpractical or impossible. They can also cap teeth following root canals, top dental implants, and secure a dental bridge.

A crown covers a tooth and acts as its shield, supporting typical functions in the mouth, like chewing.

A dental crown lasts around 15 years on average, but dental crowns can last upwards of 30 years with proper care and some luck.
