Crowns & Bridgework
Crowns
A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth in order to strengthen it as well as restore it to its normal shape and size. A Crown may be placed to support a large filling where there is little remaining tooth structure, attach a bridge, protect weak teeth from fracturing, or restore fractured teeth. A tooth that has been treated with root canal therapy will require a crown following treatment to provide strength and support to the tooth. We only use the highest quality of materials for crowns, so that they will provide the longest lasting benefits to our patients.
Bridges
A fixed bridge, usually made of porcelain-faced gold, is used to replace teeth. A bridge helps to create a normal bite, prevent stress on the dental arch, prevent the drifting and tilt of adjacent teeth, inhibit decay in difficult areas, and slow the onset of periodontal diseases. Bridges are composed of abutments (the sound teeth on either side acting as supports) and the span (a framework attached to the abutments with artificial teeth attached to that framework).
Each model for crown and bridgework is personally inspected and prepared under a microscope by Dr. Grubb before being sent out to one of the finest labs in the country to insure the best fitting and most natural looking restoration possible.
