Dental Crowns and Bridgework in Appleton, WI
Are your teeth excessively worn, decayed or cracked? Are you self-conscious about your teeth? Are you missing permanent teeth? If you said yes, then crowns or bridgework may be for you!
Benefits of Crowns
Teeth with excessive wear, decay, or extensive cracks can benefit from being covered by a dental crown. Crowns offer an advantage over fillings in that they can be crafted to fit precisely on your tooth like a “cast,” which will evenly distribute your biting, minimizing future possibilities of that tooth re-cracking and/or abscessing.
Dental crowns, or caps, encase the entire visible part of a tooth (above the gum line). Crowns can be made out of porcelain ceramics, gold or metal alloys, or a combination of both materials. Dental caps are used to improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth, to strengthen a tooth, or to restore a tooth to its natural shape. Stop by our Appleton dental office to know which one is right for you.

What are Bridges?
Bridges are natural-looking replacements for lost/missing permanent teeth which can restore normal chewing abilities and preserve jaw alignment. They are fabricated of natural-looking porcelain or gold, modeled to appear as one of your teeth, and anchored permanently to the neighboring teeth. Fix bridges are constructed to be permanently cemented. They may replace front or back teeth and do not come out at night.
