Colfax, WA Dentist Dr. Robert Smith Offers Dental Bridges and Crowns
(PRBuzz.com) January 1, 2013 -- There are many restorative dental options that can help you fix missing, cracked, or severely damaged teeth. General Family and Restorative Dentistry offers an array of smile restoration services that have helped Colfax, WA patients renew their health and confidence. Bridges and crowns provided by Dr. Robert T. Smith improve self-assurance and peace of mind. Both bridges and crowns provide a seamless solution to teeth that need a new structure, surface or total replacement. Both of these prosthetics are long lasting, custom fabricated and provide tried and trusted function, but each is used for unique smile needs. Dr. Robert T. Smith aims to help Colfax, WA dental patients understand how bridges and crowns work, and which is most appropriate for their restoration.
Dental crowns offered at General Family and Restorative Dentistry can be used on teeth that are cracked, chipped broken, suffering from advanced decay, or structurally damaged. By covering the affected tooth, crowns maintain the healthy tooth base and protect it from any further damage. This reduces the chances of Dr. Robert T. Smith's patient developing an infection, tooth loss and any jaw misalignment that can occur due to the missing or chipped teeth. In addition to the health benefits, crowns are also aesthetically pleasing. They revitalize your smile surface in both appearance and feel, with a natural look that is custom designed to fit your smile.
While crowns are often the best solution for damaged teeth, Colfax, WA dental patients who need their tooth completely replaced can rely upon dental bridges, as an alternative to an implant supported crown. Bridges fill the gap of the missing tooth and use the surrounding teeth for support. Each supporting tooth is modified and capped with a crown, while the space in between is filled with a custom fabricated bridge. The result looks and feels natural.
Patients throughout Colfax, WA and surrounding neighborhoods can take assurance in knowing all of their general, prosthetic and other specialized dentistry needs can be addressed through the expertise of Dr. Robert T. Smith, including placement of bridges and crowns.
