Crowns...

Crowns and bridges typically involve two appointments, spaced a few weeks apart. However, emergencies like chipped teeth might allow for a quicker turnaround. While some clinics offer same-day solutions, our experience highlights the benefits of crowns crafted in our on-site labs using high-temperature techniques for superior quality and a perfect fit. At Today Dental of [citry], prioritizing long-lasting results and optimal comfort is our core commitment.

Dental crowns are often a more budget-friendly option compared to root canals with crowns, implants, or dentures. We understand financial concerns, which is why Today Dental offers various options to fit your needs, including an in-house savings plan and flexible payment options. Additionally, crown pricing varies depending on the location in your mouth and the chosen material, such as porcelain or zirconia. Cash-paying patients can expect costs within a range of $900-$1,400, while dental insurance might reduce costs further.

Efficiency is key at Today Dental of [citry]. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted warmly and escorted to the treatment area. To assess your oral health, we'll take digital images and X-rays. The dentist will then perform a thorough examination, asking about any potential discomfort you might be experiencing. If decay or fractures are present, crown treatment might be recommended. In most cases, we strive to initiate treatment on the same day, reflecting our commitment to prompt care. Following tooth preparation for the crown, a temporary restoration will be placed, and an impression will be taken. You'll then return in 2-3 weeks for permanent crown placement.

Think of a dental bridge as a crown's close relative, designed to bridge the gap created by missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns cemented to the teeth flanking the gap (abutment teeth) and one or more artificial teeth (pontics) filling the space in between. The abutment teeth act as anchors, while the pontic effectively restores both the aesthetics and functionality of the missing tooth/teeth. Bridges can be crafted from various materials, including porcelain or zirconia, and are securely attached to natural teeth for optimal stability. While dental bridges offer a convenient solution for replacing one or two missing teeth, they might not be suitable for restoring numerous missing teeth. A dental professional can offer further guidance and explore other options in such cases.

At Today Dental of [citry], we prioritize preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. We believe natural teeth offer unmatched functionality and durability. So, why consider a dental crown? Firstly, crowns act as tooth protectors, safeguarding existing tooth structure compared to alternatives like implants or dentures that require tooth extraction. Additionally, crowns offer a simple and efficient solution to reinforce weakened, cracked, or decayed teeth. Furthermore, they can enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile, allowing you to regain confidence and embrace a brighter, healthier smile.
