A missing tooth can detract from your smile and lead to long-term implications, including infection vulnerability, increased risk of losing additional teeth, and gum disease. Dental crowns and bridges in Fullerton, CA, are reliable solutions for restoring smiles and safeguarding long-term oral health.
Crowns protect damaged or root canal-treated teeth, while bridges, anchored by adjacent crowns, fill gaps between teeth. At J.P Prosthodontics, our crowns and bridges seamlessly blend with existing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. With extensive expertise in restorative dentistry, Dr. Joon Park delivers high-quality solutions tailored to individual needs.
Dental crowns are recommended for teeth with extensive fillings, root canal-treated teeth, or those with damage like fractures or cracks. They also serve as the final restoration for dental implants and can enhance tooth size, shape, and color for improved smile aesthetics.
The process involves numbing the tooth, modifying it to fit the crown, and taking impressions for our dental lab. A temporary crown is provided to protect the tooth until the final restoration is ready, with patients advised to avoid hard or sticky foods to prevent temporary crown issues.
A dental bridge is a tooth replacement option that relies on one or more false teeth connected to crowns on adjacent natural teeth that support it. The crowned teeth are prepared similarly to a single crown. When properly cared for, a quality dental bridge in Fullerton, CA, can last for decades, but as with crowns, it’s essential to avoid biting down on foods like nuts, ice, and hard candies.
Although a dental bridge is a cost-effective solution for restoring function and aesthetics after tooth loss, bone loss continues unchecked in the space(s). Dental implants are a permanent solution for tooth loss that places less of a burden on surrounding teeth than bridges while preserving bone health.
Most dental insurance plans cover some of the cost of a crown or bridge if it’s done for preventive reasons, although this is subject to deductibles and co-pays specific to your plan. Most insurance plans won’t cover the cost if a crown is placed for cosmetic purposes. At J.P Prosthodontics, we offer highly competitive pricing for crowns and bridges in Fullerton, CA, by providing third-party financing to help you afford any out-of-pocket costs.
A crown and dental bridge are long-lasting restorative treatments that can last for many years when created skillfully by our prosthodontist. Choosing the lowest-priced option may lead to a poor quality restoration that leads to spending more money, time, and discomfort down the road. Rest assured, you can count on our team at J.P Prosthodontics to create a picture-perfect crown or bridge in Fullerton, CA!
