7 Ways to Improve Your Smile with Crowns and Bridges

At the office of Arnold Cutler DDS in Lakeside, California, we believe it’s important to have a healthy, pleasing smile. Our restorative and cosmetic dental treatments help contribute to your smile’s long-term health and beauty. If your smile is lacking due to damaged or missing teeth, we can restore its glory through crown and bridgework procedures. Dr. Arnold Cutler is your go-to dentist for bridges and crowns for residents in the Lakeside and Santee, CA area.

Here are 7 ways crowns and bridges can improve the quality of your smile:

1. Repair Damaged Teeth

Chipped, cracked, and broken teeth give your smile a worn, tattered appearance. By covering these teeth with crowns, Dr. Cutler can bring your smile back to life! A crown is a hollow, tooth-shaped cap used to repair a damaged tooth. It’s customized to conform to the size, shape, and color of the rest of your teeth for a natural appearance. Once the crown is in place, your tooth will look and function like new.   

2. Support Fragile Teeth

Crowns can be used to support weak teeth, including those that have undergone root canal treatment. A root canal entails removing the diseased pulp of your tooth, which can leave it weak and brittle. A crown will reinforce your tooth’s fragile structure so it can be used safely without risk of further harm.

3. Strengthen Teeth with Large Fillings

Normally, decayed teeth are treated with dental fillings. Teeth with extensive decay, however, may need the additional support of a crown to keep them from fracturing with continued use. Crowning a tooth with a large filling helps extend its lifespan for the future.

4. Replace Lost Teeth

A bridge is a dental device used to replace missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth bordered by dental crowns on each end of the bridge. Dr. Cutler will take impressions of your mouth to create a bridge that covers the gap left by lost teeth. Bridgework gives you a full set of teeth, so you can eat and smile with confidence again. 

5. Improve Your Smile’s Balance & Symmetry   

Crowning odd-sized or misshapen teeth makes your smile appear more uniform and even, improving its overall symmetry. We can also crown stained, cracked, or broken teeth to make your smile more appealing. By eliminating unsightly gaps in your mouth, bridgework gives your smile a healthy, balanced appearance.

6. Complete Dental Implant Treatment

Implants are artificial tooth roots placed inside your jaw to support replacement teeth. Single implants are paired with dental crowns to complete this treatment. The crowns are attached to the implants permanently to function as your new teeth.  

7. Protect Worn Teeth

Crowns can be used to protect worn or eroded teeth to keep them from chipping or cracking with continued use. Crowning worn teeth can keep your smile going strong for years.
