Crowns Restore Smiles

The doctors at Bear Creek Dental fit patients with crowns to restore aesthetic and function to teeth that have a significant amount of decay or are chipped.  A tooth with minor damage can be repaired with a crown before it reaches the point of needing to be extracted or replaced with an implant.  The safe and non-invasive procedure of installing a crown can be completed in as little as two visits.

To begin the process of fitting a patient with a custom crown, your dentist will remove any decay.   A crown fits over the tooth like a little cap, and covers the whole tooth.  To ensure a great fit for the crown, your dentist may need to contour the tooth that remains.  Once the tooth has been prepared, an impression of the mouth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory for the custom product to be fabricated.  Ask us about temporary options to wear while your new crown is being made.  Your custom crown will take 2-3 weeks to be fabricated and returned, and at a second appointment the crown will be cemented into place by your dentist.

Dental Implants

Are you self-conscious about your smile because you have teeth that are missing? If so, then dental implants might be the solution. A dental implant is a surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of a few months. Out of a variety of tooth replacement options, we offer to patients at Bear Creek Dental, dental implants are the most permanent and beneficial.

Having a dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to replacing a natural tooth because it stands on its own without any support from nearby teeth. In addition, dental implants have many advantages such as improving a patient’s speech, making eating easier, improved comfort, as well as improved self-esteem. Success rates of dental implants vary, but with proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime.

If you have questions or concerns regarding dental implants, please give us a call immediately.
