How Damaged or Missing Teeth Impact Your Daily Life
Living with damaged or missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance. It can lead to difficulty chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper oral hygiene. Over time, these issues can result in further dental complications and a decrease in self-confidence. At Legacy Dental Partners, we are dedicated to helping you overcome these challenges with personalized dental solutions.
How Crowns Work
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically used for:
- Protecting a weakened tooth from breaking
- Restoring an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth left
- Holding a dental bridge in place
- Covering misshaped or severely discolored teeth
How Bridges Work
A dental bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (or teeth) in between. These pontics can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are ideal for:
- Replacing one or more missing teeth
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position
