Decay manifests for many reasons, including lack of dental treatment, poor oral care habits, or an injury that was ignored. When it does, our professionals at Personal Choice Dental recommend a crown to restore one or multiple teeth to a healthy state or a bridge if empty spaces are present. If you are feeling self-conscious about your smile, our Old Bridge office provide quality and convenient care that you can trust. Schedule a consultation and read on to learn how these powerful restorations can improve your smile.

How Crowns and Bridges Work Together

These types of restorations collaborate to protect natural teeth from further damage while filling empty spaces from ones that are missing. A crown resembles a permanent tooth and entirely covers the surface to rebuild strength and improve overall function. A bridge bonds existing teeth or implants to close the gaps. As with crowns, you'll have different choices when it comes to selecting materials for your bridges. Both are an excellent choice for virtually visible results.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

These popular restorations offer many advantages, such as:

• Reinforcing your ability to chew.
• Eliminating slurred speech.
• Preserving the facial structures.
• Preventing remaining teeth from shifting.

Caring for Your Dental Restorations

When you visit Personal Choice Dental to restore the shape, size, durability, and aesthetic, you'll receive home care instructions to practice immediately. In between routine checkups at our Old Bridge office, you should care for your restorations as you would your natural teeth. You may also be informed to avoid hot foods and beverages because they can stick to the crowns and cause cavities. Steps for adequate oral hygiene include maintaining a healthy diet, brushing your teeth at least twice a day, and flossing carefully after every meal.
