If you have dental damage, we can fix it with dental crowns and bridges in Nashua. Our dentists have extensive training and experience in restorative dentistry.
Crowns and bridges are among the most versatile restorations because of all the problems they can solve. A crown can:
- Mend broken teeth
- Repair severely decayed teeth
- Fix badly cracked teeth
- Replace damaged tooth fillings
- Strengthen weak teeth
- Replace missing teeth, when used as part of a dental bridge or with a dental implant
To make sure we get the right restoration for your situation, we use different materials for our dental crowns and dental bridges, including all-metal, porcelain, and porcelain fused to metal. Our dentist will help determine which one is right for you. If you have a damaged or missing tooth or another problem you’d like to solve, call Nashua Dental Associates at 603-882-2575.
Getting a Dental Crown Is a Simple Process
A dental crown is a restoration designed to look like your natural tooth. It fits over your entire tooth, strengthening it and protecting it from further damage. Our doctors take impressions and other measurements of your tooth and match its color. They send the information to a lab, where your dental crown is produced. When your dental crown arrives, we check it to ensure a perfect fit and then securely attach it to your tooth – or in some cases, to a dental implant.
Replace Missing Teeth With a Dental Bridge
You can use a dental bridge to replace missing teeth. We fuse several dental crowns together to make the bridge, then attach it to the teeth surrounding your missing tooth or teeth. It “bridges” the gap, which is how it got its name. We can secure it with dental implants instead, which eliminates the need to alter the structure of your healthy teeth.
Dental Inlays & Onlays May Be the Right Choice
Dental inlays and onlays can correct the damage that is too extensive for a simple tooth filling but not extensive enough for a dental crown. Unlike dental crowns, these custom restorations do not cover your entire tooth. Inlays cover the biting surfaces of your teeth to fill in deep crevices and cracks and strengthen your teeth. Onlays cover the biting surfaces, cusps, and sides of your teeth.
Stay Comfortable During Your Dental Crown Procedure
As with any dental procedure in our office, our caring team will make sure you are comfortable. We can offer:
- Soft pillows and blankets
- Soothing music
