What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are custom-designed caps that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Crowns are typically used when a weak tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or after a root canal procedure.
At Twin Dental, we offer porcelain, metal, and resin crowns, which allows us to tailor the solution to your needs. Porcelain crowns are popular for their natural appearance, blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, so we often recommend them for adults. Our dentists in Hamilton recommend metal crowns for children, as they offer exceptional durability for molars that endure heavy chewing forces. Resin crowns are a more affordable option but don’t offer durability and are more likely to crack. Metal or porcelain framework is the most common choice for dental

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration designed for replacing missing teeth, one or more, by "bridging" the gap between your remaining teeth. A bridge typically consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are held in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent teeth, called abutment teeth. These dental restorations restore your smile's appearance and functionality, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently, all good for your dental health.

The Correlation Between Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges often work hand in hand to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. While crowns are used to protect and strengthen individual damaged teeth, they are also a critical component of dental bridges. In a bridge, crowns are placed on the healthy teeth adjacent to a missing tooth to anchor the bridge securely in place. Without crowns, bridges would lack the support they need to remain stable and functional. 

Similarly, traditional bridges help crowns by filling gaps where missing teeth once were, preventing additional strain on crowned teeth and maintaining the alignment of your bite. Together, crowns and bridges create a complete solution for patients who need to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones, creating optimal oral health and long-lasting results.

What to Expect When You Visit Us

When you come in for your crown or bridge dental services at Twin Dental, we’ll make sure you have a comfortable and personal experience from start to finish. Here’s what to expect:

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll examine your teeth fully, which may include X-rays or digital scans. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess your oral health, and determine if a crown or bridge is the right solution for you.

Treatment Plan: Based on the consultation, we’ll create a custom treatment plan for you. We’ll go through each step of the process, answer any questions you may have, and explain the different materials available for your crown or bridge.

Tooth Preparation: If a crown or traditional bridge is recommended, we’ll prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a perfect fit. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom crown or bridge that matches your natural teeth.

Temporary Restoration: While your permanent crown or bridge is being made in the lab, we’ll place a temporary restoration to protect your teeth and keep you functional until your next visit.

Placement: We’ll place the custom crown or bridge, make any final adjustments, and cement it to your teeth. We’ll check it’s comfortable and functional before completing your treatment.
