Dental Crowns & Bridgework in Chesapeake, VA

At Battlefield Family Dentistry, we specialize in restorative dental solutions such as dental crowns and bridgework to help you regain a healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile. Whether you're dealing with damaged teeth or missing teeth, our customized treatments are designed to meet your unique needs.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made "cap" that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically recommended to:

• Strengthen and Protect: A tooth with extensive decay or damage that cannot support a traditional filling.
• Restore Function: A cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth.
• Post-Root Canal Therapy: To reinforce a tooth after a root canal procedure.
• Enhance Appearance: To cover a severely discolored or misshapen tooth.
• Anchor a Dental Bridge: To support a dental bridge replacing one or more missing teeth.

What Is Bridgework?

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or implants (abutments). Bridges help:

• Restore Smile and Function: Enabling proper chewing and speaking.
• Maintain Facial Structure: Preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
• Prevent Teeth Shifting: Keeping remaining teeth from moving out of position.

Types of Crowns and Bridges

We offer various materials for crowns and bridges, each with its benefits:

• Metal Crowns: Made from alloys like gold or platinum, these crowns are durable and ideal for less visible molars.
• All-Porcelain or All-Ceramic Crowns: These provide a natural look, especially suitable for front teeth, and are metal-free.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combining strength and aesthetics, these crowns have a metal core with a porcelain exterior.
• Composite Resin Crowns: A more affordable option, though less durable, often used as a temporary solution.

Our Approach to Crowns & Bridgework at Battlefield Family Dentistry

1. Initial Consultation: We conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your dental health and discuss your restoration goals.
2. Treatment Planning: Based on your needs, we develop a personalized plan, selecting the appropriate materials and design for your crown or bridge.
3. Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth or teeth are reshaped to accommodate the crown or bridge.
4. Impressions: We take precise impressions or digital scans to ensure a perfect fit for your restoration.
5. Temporary Restoration: While your custom restoration is being fabricated, a temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth.
6. Final Placement: Once ready, we fit and cement the permanent crown or bridge, making any necessary adjustments for comfort and function.
