Why Should I Restore My Smile?

Living with a missing or broken tooth can make it exceedingly challenging to comfortably chew and eat the foods you normally enjoy. Imagine not being able to eat at your favorite restaurant because you can’t chew. It can make daily life frustrating!

When you have a tooth that is compromised or missing, it may also cause you to feel self-conscious about your smile. Dr. Joel Eley and Dr. Mark Kedzierski believe that everyone should have a smile they feel proud of, and tooth crowns and dental bridges make that possible.

When Is a Crown Recommended?

If your tooth is broken or decayed beyond what a filling can repair, our dentists will recommend a crown to restore your tooth. We use 3-D imaging to scan an impression of your tooth, so your porcelain crown will closely mimic its shape and shade. Crowns are also ideal for these situations:

To replace lost or broken restorations like fillings
As a restoration for a single implant
To strengthen a tooth that has had root canal treatment
To cover cosmetic concerns like fractures or discoloration

When Do We Recommend a Bridge?

A bridge works well for one or more missing teeth that are adjacent. It anchors with crowns to healthy teeth that support prosthetic replacement teeth that are attached in between.

We also make our bridges out of ceramic porcelain, so they naturally complement your smile while also restoring function.
