Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers

At Oshawa Dental Arts, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental solutions that enhance both the functionality and appearance of your smile. Our philosophy is based on an honest approach and personalized services, ensuring that each patient receives the highest quality care tailored to their unique needs. Among the key restorative and cosmetic treatments we offer are dental crowns, bridges, and veneers. These treatments are designed to restore the health, function, and beauty of your teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that have been severely decayed, cracked, or worn down.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the ability to chew and speak properly by providing full coverage and support to the damaged tooth.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials, crowns are designed to withstand the pressures of everyday use, making them a long-lasting solution.
Aesthetic Appeal: Crowns can be made from porcelain or ceramic, which closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
Protection: Crowns protect the underlying tooth from further decay or damage, preserving your overall oral health.

The Crown Procedure:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will examine your tooth and determine if a crown is the best solution for your dental needs.
Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make space for the crown.
Impressions: An impression of your tooth is taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
Permanent Crown Placement: Once the custom crown is ready, it is bonded to your tooth, and final adjustments are made for a perfect fit.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. This restoration not only fills the gap left by missing teeth but also restores the function and aesthetics of your smile.

Benefits of Dental Bridges:

Restored Functionality: Bridges allow you to chew and speak properly, restoring the full function of your mouth.
Preventing Tooth Movement: By filling the gap, bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite issues and further dental problems.
Aesthetic Improvement: Bridges enhance your smile by filling in gaps with natural-looking artificial teeth.
Maintaining Facial Structure: Replacing missing teeth helps maintain the shape of your face and prevents the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.

The Bridge Procedure:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will assess your dental needs and determine the best type of bridge for your situation.
Tooth Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make space for the crowns.
Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge.
Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth while the permanent bridge is being made.
Permanent Bridge Placement: The custom bridge is bonded to the adjacent teeth, and adjustments are made for a comfortable fit.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can transform your smile with minimal alteration to your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Veneers:

Enhanced Appearance: Veneers provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing the beauty of your smile.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires only a small amount of enamel to be removed, preserving most of your natural tooth structure.
Durable and Stain-Resistant: Veneers are made from high-quality materials that resist staining and are designed to last for many years.
Customizable: Each veneer is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and match the color and shape of your natural teeth.

The Veneer Procedure:

Initial Consultation: Our dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine if veneers are right for you.
Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to make space for the veneers.
Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom veneers.
Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom veneers are being made.
Permanent Veneer Placement: The custom veneers are bonded to your teeth, and any necessary adjustments are made for a perfect fit.
