2. Quality-made dental crowns and bridges
are the solution if you have damaged
or discolored teeth and need their appearance
and shape to be improved.

3. Another good reason is if you have gaps where teeth
have been removed, and you don't want
the remaining teeth to spread out into those areas
and create a bad bite.

4. Crowns also are needed for a variety of reasons,
including:
▪ Keep teeth strong for biting and chewing
▪ Help to prevent a tooth from fracturing
▪ Restore a tooth that has fractured
▪ Cover a tooth that has previously had a root canal

5. Crowns also are needed for a variety of reasons,
including:
▪ Protect a discolored tooth
▪ Cover a broken one
▪ Hold a dental bridge in place
▪ Cover a dental implant

7. Dental crowns, often commonly
called "caps", provide a tooth-like
shape and structure that covers
the entire tooth, strengthen the tooth,
and are very functional.

8. They are made by a special machine
in a dental laboratory or sometimes
right in the dentist's office
if he or she has the equipment
and staff.

9. Ceramic and porcelain crowns
are meticulously matched
to the color of your natural teeth
so that they easily blend in
and are not obvious.

10. Porcelain fused to a metal shell is both attractive
and strong.
However, other materials such as metal and gold
alloys, ceramic and acrylic are stronger than
porcelain and are often especially recommended for
back teeth.

11. Bridges replace one or several
missing teeth and are cemented
to natural teeth or implants,
which serve as anchors
for the bridge.

12. Replacement teeth are attached to
a crown that covers the abutment.

15. The length of time varies greatly depending
on a multitude of factors including the most
important of all, which is good oral hygiene.

16. The failure of crowns and bridges
can be due to the formation of a cavity
where the crown and tooth meet.

17. A bridge may lose support if the bone
or tooth that is holding it in place gets
damaged from dental disease.

18. If you tend to grind or clench your teeth,
ask your dentist how this could affect
your crown and what you can learn
to do about it.

19. Another factor is
good nutrition.

20. Avoid refined
carbohydrates
and sugars because
they promote
an acidic
environment in the
mouth.

to a diet which is
anti-inflammatory,
alkalizing and
rich in antioxidants.
