Dental crowns cover a damaged tooth to prevent further damage or decay. Crowns are created by first taking an impression of the decaying tooth, and using the cast to create a custom crown for it with the patient’s preferred materials. Dental crowns can be built over a partially decayed natural tooth, or form the top visible part of a dental implant.

Dental Crown Cost

The cost of a dental crown varies depending on the amount of work that has to be done, and the materials that are to be used. Oral health issues particular to the patient can also affect the final cost of a crown.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can be full crowns or so-called onlay crowns that cover part of the wall of the tooth, sparing the remaining natural part. They are normally made of metal or ceramic.

Whatever your case and your requirements may be, the experts at Smile Focus will make sure you’ll be forever free from the usual dental crown problems.

Types of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are of several types: the traditional bridge is possible when there are two implants at the two ends of the bridge that can be used to hold it in place. Traditional bridges are very solid and comfortable.

The cantilever bridge is used when there is just one tooth that can be used as an abutment to hold the bridge in place. As a result, cantilever bridges are not recommended for back teeth, but can work well for frontal teeth.

Other types of dental bridges include composite bridges, Maryland bridges, and implant-supported bridges.
