At Mona Lisa Smiles, we believe that everyone deserves a healthy and beautiful smile, and we offer a range of dental services to help our patients achieve their oral health goals. Dental crowns are one of the most effective and versatile treatments we offer, and they can help restore and improve the function and aesthetics of your teeth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth, providing protection and restoring its natural appearance and functionality. Our experienced dental team will examine your oral health and determine if a dental crown is the right solution for your needs. We use advanced technology to create custom dental crowns that match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.
Dental crowns can be used to address a variety of dental issues, from restoring a cracked or broken tooth to covering a dental implant or improving the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth. They can also help protect your teeth from further damage or decay and improve your overall oral health. Our dental team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your needs and preferences.
At Mona Lisa Smiles, we offer a range of dental crown materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal, to provide you with the best possible result. Our dental professionals will discuss the pros and cons of each material and help you make an informed decision based on your needs and preferences.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients, which is why we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. We also offer sedation options to help patients feel more relaxed during their dental procedures.
Whether you need a dental crown for functional or cosmetic reasons, our team at Mona Lisa Smiles is here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how dental crowns can transform your smile and improve your overall quality of life.
At Mona Lisa Smiles, we recognize the significance of a healthy and functional smile. Dental bridges offer a reliable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth, helping to restore your smile and improve oral health.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It comprises two or more dental crowns attached to your natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. These crowns act as anchors for the pontics, the false teeth that fill the space.
Dental bridges generally require the reduction of neighboring teeth to make room for materials used to create the bridge. Alternatively dental implants can support a bridge.
There are various types of dental bridges available, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, Maryland bridges and implant-supported bridges.
Traditional Bridges: A secure, long-lasting option. The bridge is anchored on neighboring teeth and cannot be removed by the patient.
Cantilever bridges: A type of dental bridge that uses a single adjacent tooth to support the replacement tooth, making it suitable for gaps where only one side has a neighboring tooth. It involves minimal tooth preparation but is typically used in areas with less chewing force due to its single-sided support.
Resin bonded bridges or Maryland bridges: Most suitable for a single missing tooth. This type is essentially a sticky bridge bonded to the natural teeth and requires minimal tooth preparation.
Implant-supported bridges: These bridges can be fixed to existing dental implants by being screwed or cemented in place. Once fitted, the implants provide the foundation for long-term support of bridges or dentures.
Before receiving a dental bridge, our dental professionals will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. Any underlying oral health issues, such as gum disease, will need to be addressed prior to placing the bridge.
The process of getting a dental bridge typically requires two or more visits to our office. During the first visit, our dental professionals will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel to make room for the crowns. Impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom bridge will be crafted.
Once your bridge is ready, you will return for the second visit. Our dental professionals will place the bridge in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can provide a natural-looking solution for missing teeth that lasts for many years. If you’re considering a dental bridge, contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced dental professionals. At Mona Lisa Smiles, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
