What Are Dental Crowns And Bridges Made Of?
Dental crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination. Depending on your individual needs, our dentists will recommend the most suitable material for you.
Benefits Of Dental Crowns And Bridges
Dental Crowns
Crowns provide additional support to weak or damaged teeth.
They can be used to restore a broken tooth or one severely worn down.
A crown may also be placed over a dental implant, helping it blend in with the other teeth naturally.
Crowns are very durable and can last many years if properly cared for.
Dental crowns look natural and can improve the appearance of your smile.
They help protect against further damage by covering up any cracks or chips in your existing tooth structure.
Dental Bridges
Help maintain proper alignment and shape of existing teeth
Fill the gap created by missing tooth/teeth
Provide support to adjacent teeth
Improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral health
Prevent remaining natural teeth from shifting into the space left behind by a missing tooth/teeth
Aid in restoring an even bite for better comfort and function

The Process Of Getting Dental Crowns And Bridges
Schedule a consultation with your dentist: During this initial visit, the dentist will examine your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for dental crowns and bridges. The dentist may also take X-rays or impressions of your teeth to give them a better idea of what type of restoration is best suited for you.
Prepare the affected teeth: For the crowns and bridges to fit correctly, some preparation of the impacted teeth may be necessary. This generally includes trimming away the enamel on all sides so that the crown can have something to adhere to when inserted over the top.
Take an impression: Your dentist will then create an impression (or mold) of your prepared tooth or teeth by using either putty or digital scanning technology to make sure that they get an accurate representation of how they should shape the custom prosthesis (crown/bridge).
Create a temporary crown or bridge: Depending on where yours falls in their queue, sometimes dentists will provide patients with temporary dental restorations while they wait for their permanent ones at home laboratory technicians craft customized replacements for them; others opt not to do this because more often than not these temporaries aren't very aesthetically pleasing nor comfortable due to being made out of acrylic material instead porcelain.
Receive and fit final appliance: After about two weeks, when lab technicians finish crafting a custom permanent bridge or crown, the patient returns to the office setting so that the doctor can place the finished product inside the patient's mouth securely, utilizing special dental cement. Depending upon the situation, additional treatments, such as a root canal, might also be needed before fitting.

I haven’t been to the dentist in a while due to moving and life events. This was such a smooth transition to a new office. They offered family dental care which makes it a great one stop shop for my family. The dental hygienist that helped us was super professional and very pleasant to work with. They have great equipment and a modern looking office. We’re very happy with our service will be using them for our dental needs.

OK, so first of all I've had almost all of my teeth pulled or fixed. I have an implant denture on my upper jaw. So let's just say I've been to the dentist... but this place is amazing! Dr. Beatrice is BY FAR the best dentist I've ever had. Spoke to me like a real person, really down to earth but professional. She was awesome! Very gentle and knowledgeable and was always looking out for what I wanted and needed. I would recommend them to anyone any day!

I am so thankful I found Park View Family Dentist in Greeley! This is two years in for me and each time I go in ends up being such a good feel experience! Who can say that going to the Dentist, but you’ll understand when you go! I adore Jenn my dental hygienist! Dr Custer is the absolute best! And I met Dr. Brittan today, which stamped my staying with this dentist office and team! I’m a super happy and staying patient!

I had a really great experience at Park View Family Dental during my initial exam and x-rays. I've always been nervous at the dentist and everyone on the team made me feel at ease from greeting to goodbyes. I had an insurance issue and Chillon was so patient and kind helping me through the process despite the issue not being their fault at all! I've already recommended them to my local friends and I'll be back for follow-ups in the near future.

Excellent first experience. My previous dentist closed his practice, so I tried these folks on the strength of their reviews, and they didn't disappoint. Very quick, thorough, professional. Apparently my teeth remain boring, but we all like it that way. Very kind and congenial people, too.

I have been searching Fort Collins for a dentist I could rely on for the last 15 years. Fortunately, I have found one at Parkview Dental. Every appointment I have had there has been above my expectations. The staff is friendly, they take you back almost as soon as you check in (no waiting around forever), they work to accommodate your schedule with theirs, and listened. With the dental work I had done, it was apparent that they prioritize their patients comfort as well as doing a pristine job. (I'm a little particular when it comes to how it feels and looks and when compared to other dentists in the area, the work is far superior.) In my opinion, they are the best dentistry in Fort Collins and they put the work in to be just that.

This is new dentist for me and I am really impressed with the friendly environment and the knowledge of the staff. They always take time to explain every procedure and its purpose. They also have very quick scheduling. I highly recommend their dentistry practice.
Justin Jamnik
Park View Family Dental is the best!! I felt comfortable and appreciated my entire appointment. Cali and Dr. Perrault the time to answer any questions I had and explained everything so well. They also checked in with me throughout my entire appointment to make sure I was comfortable. I would highly recommend this office to anyone that is looking!!
Amelia Mostaffa
Awesome dental practice! I only had to wait a minute or two before they called me in, the hygenist was as sweet as can be, and they even have televisions on the ceiling, so I was able to watch animal planet during my cleaning. The dentist was personable, and their “insurance wiz,” Bailey, had already communicated with Delta Dental and had my options for follow-up care all priced out for me. Great experience!
Laura Decatur
We just had a great experience with Park View Family Dentistry. Dr. Perrault was so patient and kind. We had to go in for an emergency dental situation and not only did they fit us in, but they went out of their way to help us and make my son feel comfortable.
