Crowns & Bridges: Restoring Your Smile and Confidence

Welcome to Michael G. Foust, D.D.S., the best crowns and bridges dentist in San Diego! Discover how crowns and bridges can help restore your smile's functionality and aesthetics. Our skilled team is dedicated to providing you with personalized solutions that enhance your oral health and overall well-being.

What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Bridges are dental restorations that replace one or more missing teeth using a combination of crowns and pontics (artificial teeth).

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges:

  • Improved Functionality: Crowns and bridges help restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: These restorations are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
  • Preservation of Tooth Structure: Crowns protect weakened teeth, preventing further damage.
  • Support for Adjacent Teeth: Bridges prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth.

The Crowns and Bridges Process:

  • Consultation: Our team will assess your dental health, discuss your concerns, and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
  • Preparation: For crowns, affected tooth is gently reshaped to accommodate the crown. For bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared as well.
  • Impressions: Precise impressions are taken to create crowns or bridges that fit seamlessly.
  • Temporary Restorations: Temporary crowns or bridges may be placed while the permanent ones are being crafted.
  • Fitting and Adjustments: The final restorations are carefully placed, and adjustments are made for comfort and fit.
  • Bonding: The crowns or bridge are bonded using dental cement, ensuring a secure and durable attachment.

Are You a Candidate?

  • Damaged or Missing Teeth: If you have teeth with significant decay, damage, or gaps, you may be a candidate.
  • Good Oral Health: Healthy gums and proper oral hygiene are crucial for successful outcomes.
  • Realistic Expectations: Clear communication about your goals helps us achieve the desired results.

Aftercare for Crowns and Bridges:

  • Oral Hygiene: Maintain regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your restorations.
  • Avoid Chewing Hard Objects: Protect your crowns and bridges by refraining from using them to bite hard items.
  • Regular Check-ups: Regular dental visits ensure the longevity and function of your restorations.

Common Concerns and Considerations:

  • Sensitivity: Some sensitivity is normal after the placement of crowns or bridges but should diminish.
  • Longevity: With proper care, crowns and bridges can last for many years.
  • Cost and Insurance: We'll discuss the cost and explore insurance coverage during your consultation.
