General dentistry at Brunswick

Our speciality

Crowns & bridges

At Brunswick Dental Group, we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful smile. You should be able to laugh, speak, and chew without feeling self-conscious. When teeth are missing or get damaged, it can affect your daily life. Our tooth crown and tooth bridge treatment can bring your mouth back to its normal and natural look and function. Dental crowns and bridges provide excellent support to the remaining teeth and are great restorative dental prosthetics. They will give you a natural and confident smile.

Also called traditional braces, metal braces are a very popular option. They are made of good quality stainless steel and are held in place with the help of elastic bands. Metal braces are very easy to use and dentists are able to easily make adjustments to better align the teeth. There are a lot of options available in metal braces now. Multiple color options are available for the elastic bands – this appeals to kids because they can choose the color they like. Metal braces are commonly chosen because they are cost effective, strong, and durable.

For these treatments, the patient is required to undertake two appointments. One is to prepare the tooth or teeth for treatment and the other is to fit the crown or bridge. Occasionally a root-canal treatment (RCT) and post may be required if the nerve within the tooth has died or been removed. During the first appointment a thin layer of enamel is removed from all surfaces of the tooth. From here, impressions are taken to record exactly how you bite together so that we can ensure your new tooth will be properly fitted. We will place a temporary crown over the prepared tooth for a period of approximately two weeks so that the laboratory can make the new crown. During the second appointment, the temporary crown will be gently removed and your new crown will be tried on. The crown will be checked for fit, size, shape and color before it is permanently cemented to your tooth. Here we can decide whether adjustments are needed or we can proceed with the process of cementation. The cementation process involves using cement that bonds to your tooth and crown.

They look completely natural. A third person will not be able to tell whether you have had any dental work done. The crowns and bridges prepared at Brunswick Dental Group mimic natural teeth to that extent. Porcelain is very durable, so your crowns and bridges will last very long. Just take care of them regularly and visit your dentist for routine checkups and you should be able to get the most out of them. You will be able to restore the complete functionality of your full set of teeth. With a brighter, whiter smile, you will have more confidence in facing the world.
