Different Types of Dental Crowns

Crowns can be made of different materials depending on your specific needs. Below are the most common types of crowns:

Porcelain looks the most like natural teeth because of its light-reflecting properties
Metal or gold are strong solutions for more conservative tooth restoration
Stainless steel is used to restore baby teeth after extensive tooth decay

How to Take Care of Dental Crowns

With a proper oral hygiene routine at home and twice-yearly visits to the dentist, your crowns can last an average of 10 years. In order to keep your crown in good shape, it’s important to follow these good habits:

Brush your teeth twice a day
Floss between all of your teeth daily
Use an antibacterial mouthwash every day
Avoid chewing on hard foods or ice, biting fingernails, etc.
Avoid using your teeth to open packaging

These simple actions can help your crown last longer and keep your smile looking great.

Dental Bridges in Mitchellville, MD

Missing adult teeth impact the beauty of your smile, but did you know they can also impact your oral health? Your teeth work as a team to chew your food. When you are missing adult teeth, it can cause bite problems and even jaw pain. To protect your smile and keep you healthy, our experts at Lake Arbor Dental can fit you for a custom-made dental bridge.

A bridge is a specialized prosthetic that fits in the space where your teeth used to be. We can secure the bridge to your natural teeth on either side of a gap in your smile. With a bridge, you can replace multiple missing teeth in a row and restore the function and beauty of your smile.

Our bridges are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape and size. Once you have your bridge, you will be able to eat and speak normally and maintain your oral health.

Types of Dental Bridges

The type of dental bridge you get will depend on your specific needs and your oral health. There are several different kinds of bridges available:

Removable Bridge: This solution is similar to dentures, but it only replaces a few teeth instead of a whole arch. The bridge will attach to your natural teeth, and you’ll be able to remove it for easy cleaning.
Traditional (Fixed) Bridge: A fixed bridge is permanently attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile. Like crowns, the bridge will be stable and function just like your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Instead of attaching a bridge to your natural teeth, you can have implants placed on either side of the gap in your smile. Our team can then permanently attach the bridge to the implants for a secure restoration.
