Porcelain Crown and Bridges Torrance
A porcelain crown is a dental restoration that is used as a covering for your teeth to restore damage and prevent further deterioration. The crown provides strength and protection for your teeth that cannot be provided by other forms of dental restorations. A crown can be made from various materials, but porcelain crowns placed by our Torrance dentist look like your natural teeth. A dental laboratory fabricates the crown before it is placed on your teeth to ensure the shape and size will match your existing teeth.Why Crowns are Placed
• To Finish a Root Canal
• When Teeth are Decayed
• To Cover a Large Dental Filling
• Broken Teeth or Fractured Fillings
Porcelain Fixed Bridge
The porcelain fixed bridge is the most common type. This bridge is constructed from porcelain and metal and attached permanently to your teeth to replace individual or multiple missing teeth. The bridge uses dental crowns for the attachment along with artificial teeth to cover the gaps and spacing remaining from missing teeth
Why a Bridge is Placed
• To Cover Spaces and Gaps from Missing Teeth
• To Improve Facial Design
• To Prevent Existing Teeth from Shifting
• To Replace an Existing Partial Denture
• To Improve Speech and Eating Capability
Porcelain Crown and Porcelain Fixed Bridge Procedure
Each procedure requires two dental visits to our Torrance cosmetic dentist for completion. Impressions are created that are used to produce the final restorations that are placed.The first visit for a porcelain crown procedure will include the placement of a temporary crown for cosmetic purposes over one or more damaged teeth. This allows the required time for the permanent crown to be constructed. The second visit involves the placement of the permanent crown that will improve the quality of your smile.
The first visit for a porcelain fixed bridge involves the placement of a temporary bridge that provides normal functionality during the waiting period of the construction of the permanent bridge. The second visit includes placement of the permanent porcelain fixed bridge. Adjustments can be made to ensure the correct fit of your newly formed smile.
