Dental Crowns and Bridges in Langhorne, PA
Decayed, broken, and missing teeth can take their toll on you every day. Even simple pleasures like enjoying a perfectly cooked meal or sharing a laugh with a friend can remind you that your smile isn’t as healthy as it could be.
At Desai Dental Care, we offer custom dental crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays to improve your smile’s health, appearance, and functionality.
Dental Crowns: Restoration for Damaged Teeth
Dental crowns cover and protect damaged teeth to restore their shape, strength, and function. Dr. Desai may recommend a crown for several reasons:
- Restore a tooth with significant decay
- Protect a weak, damaged, or broken tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
- Support a tooth with a large filling
- Cover a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Serve as an anchor for a dental bridge
- Complete a dental implant
Getting Your Dental Crown
The process of receiving a dental crown at our Langhorne, PA, dental office begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Desai. First, we will evaluate the extent of damage to ensure a crown is ideal or if a more conservative option would serve your needs.
Next, we prepare the tooth, which involves reshaping it slightly to accommodate the crown comfortably. We then take precise digital impressions of your tooth to guarantee a custom fit. Before you leave our office that day, we will place a temporary on your tooth while your final crown is meticulously crafted in a custom dental lab.
Your final visit involves checking the new crown to ensure it fits comfortably and aligns perfectly with your bite. With excellent care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups, your new dental crown can serve you well for up to 15 years.
Dental Bridges Fill the Gaps in Your Smile
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, using crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors, with artificial teeth spanning the space. A bridge is recommended for:
- Filling missing tooth spaces.
- Preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly.
Getting a bridge follows a similar process as crowns and can last a decade or longer with proper care.
Conservative Alternatives with Inlays and Onlays
Dr. Desai offers dental inlays and onlays that align with his conservative approach to dentistry. He commonly recommends them for teeth that are too damaged for a filling but not enough for a crown. Custom inlays and onlays repair damage and restore function while preserving natural structure.
We carefully design them to mimic the look of tooth enamel and match the shade of surrounding teeth for a seamless restoration. A custom dental lab then custom crafts the inlay or onlay to fit snugly into or onto your tooth.
