To restore and improve the way our smile looks, our dentist has a variety of treatments they can offer, many of which fall under the banner of cosmetic dentistry. Of these, some of the most commonly used are crowns and bridges and dental implants, procedures that can rescue and repair our damaged teeth, as well as protect them, and also replace them if they're missing. So to learn more about all types of cosmetic dentistry options in Fircrest, WA, consult with our local professional, Dr. Phuong Nguyen of Emerson Dental.
Crowns
A dental crown can be made of a number of materials. These tooth-colored caps, primarily manufactured with dental-grade porcelain, are also tooth-shaped to return a natural appearance to a damaged tooth and enhance its strength.
But as important as the appearance of our teeth is, dental crowns are used to protect teeth that have suffered significant structural damage to keep them from further harm, and also restore our ability to use our teeth as before to bite and chew our food.
Bridges
A dental bridge can restore a missing tooth, it's one of the most well-used methods for doing so. By using healthy teeth as anchors, our dentist can bridge the gap using a series of crowns bonded together. The result is a restored smile and a procedure that's difficult to spot even on close inspection.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a modern treatment that does not require the reshaping of neighboring teeth. Although implants do need a longer initial investment of time in the beginning, as the implant first heals, something that can take months, the result is longer lasting than other options. They, in fact, can last a lifetime with proper care.
