Crowns and Bridges

Experiencing tooth loss or living with damaged teeth can significantly impact your quality of life, oral health, and overall well-being. At Mowlajko Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand these challenges. With high-quality custom crowns and bridges, we can restore a smile that is comfortable and functions well.

Top Reasons Why Our Dentist Recommends Crowns

A dental crown is a protective cover that restores a tooth weakened by decay, damage, or wear. There are several reasons why our dentist in Anderson, SC, might recommend a dental crown:

Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
Protect a broken or cracked tooth
Restore a severely worn tooth
Cover a tooth with a large filling
Conceal a misshapen or discolored tooth
Hold a dental bridge in place
Complete a dental implant

We may use several materials for crowns, but the most popular are porcelain and zirconia. Both materials look natural, are highly durable, and can be custom-crafted to match your smile perfectly.

Dental Bridges Replace Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is a time-tested tooth replacement and an excellent solution if you are missing one or two teeth in a row. Our high-quality bridges are custom-crafted with crowns that anchor onto the teeth on either side of the gap and support an artificial tooth that sits in the open space.

The benefits of a dental bridge are that it completes your smile, restores chewing function, prevents shifting of surrounding teeth, and distributes bite forces evenly.

Steps for Getting a Dental Crown or Bridge

Getting a crown or bridge at Mowlajko Family Dentistry involves a detailed, step-by-step process tailored to ensure the best fit and look:

Initial consultation — Our dentist reviews your needs and discusses tooth replacement options.
Preparation — The crown or bridge teeth are altered slightly to ensure a proper fit, and impressions are taken.
Placing a temporary —A temporary crown or bridge is placed while a custom lab crafts your restoration.
Custom fabrication — Your crown or bridge is designed in a custom dental lab to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Final placement — We carefully fit and adjust the final crown or bridge, cementing it in place for a seamless look.

How to Care for Your New Restoration

With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can complement your smile for many years:

Practice good oral hygiene, including brushing twice daily and flossing daily.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage or dislodge your restoration.
Schedule regular checkups and cleanings at Mowlajko Family Dentistry.

We also use the resulting scans to track changes in your dental health from one visit to the next.

For you, digital impressions mean a more comfortable experience with no need for the unpleasant taste or discomfort of messy mold materials. The detailed nature of the impressions also allows for exceptionally precise measurements, leading to better-fitting restorations and appliances.
