What are Dental Crowns?

Dental Crowns in Raleigh, NC

A dental crown or “cap” covers the entire tooth, reshaping and replacing its surface while leaving the root and base of the natural tooth intact. This is a viable solution for issues like:

- Weak or brittle teeth
- Extensive tooth decay
- Extensive wear or damage to teeth
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- Failed fillings
Crowns can be made of several different types of materials. The best crown material is often determined by an individual’s bite and aesthetic considerations. Dr Hunt has extensive experience and advanced training in these techniques and will be happy to help you make an appropriate choice that is right for you.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental Bridges in Raleigh, NC

Bridges may be the best choice for replacing missing teeth and filling gaps in your smile. A bridge is often anchored to the natural teeth adjacent to the space where a tooth has been removed or it can be attached to two or more dental implants. It is bonded in place and is not removable. Bridges are a long-lasting solution designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.

Bridges can be relied upon to be comfortable and easy to clean and maintain. Unlike dentures or partials, nothing needs to be removed for cleaning, and there are no moving parts to chafe or cause discomfort. Your ceramic bridge will be designed to fit in your mouth and to match the precise shade of your surrounding teeth, so it’s an invisible solution that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
