Dental Crowns Come in Different Types
Crowns are available in a variety of materials, depending on the type you need. Here are some of the most popular types of crowns.
- Porcelain is the closest to natural teeth due to its light-reflecting qualities
- Gold or metal is a good option for conservative dental restoration.
- After extensive tooth decay, stainless steel is used to repair baby teeth

Your crowns will last on average 10 years if you follow a good oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist twice yearly. To keep your crowns in top condition, you should follow these tips:
- Brush your teeth at least twice daily

- Open packaging with your teeth instead

Dental Bridges in Mitchellville, MD
Did you know that missing adult teeth can affect your smile's beauty? They also have an impact on your oral health. Your teeth work together to chew food. Missing adult teeth can lead to bite issues and jaw pain. Our experts at Lake Arbor Dental will fit you with a custom-made bridge to protect your smile while keeping you healthy.
A bridge is a prosthetic device that fills the gap left by your missing teeth. The bridge can be attached to the natural teeth on either side of your gap. A bridge can be used to replace several missing teeth in a line and restore your smile's function and beauty.
Our bridges are made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. You will be able to eat, speak, and maintain oral health once you have your bridge.

Different Types of Dental Bridges
Your specific needs and oral health will determine the type of bridge you need. There are many different types of bridges:
- Removable bridge: This is a solution similar to dentures but only replaces some teeth, not an entire arch. The bridge will be attached to your natural teeth and can be removed for cleaning.
- Traditional (Fixed Bridge): A fixed bridge is permanently attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap in your mouth. The bridge will function and be stable like natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Rather than attaching a dental bridge to your natural tooth, you can place implants on either side of your gap. The bridge can be permanently attached to the implants by our team for a safe restoration.
