Why Crowns and Bridges Matter

Crowns and bridges are not just about appearances – they’re essential to maintaining your mouth’s function and alignment. According to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), untreated tooth loss can negatively affect chewing, nutrition, and speech. Dental restorations like crowns and bridges are critical for maintaining proper bite alignment and preventing long-term issues. By restoring both function and appearance, these treatments can significantly improve your quality of life.  

A crown (also called a cap) covers and strengthens a damaged tooth. A bridge fills the space of one or more missing teeth, anchored by the teeth on either side.

What to Expect at Alexandra Park Dental

Here’s a step-by-step of what your visit may include:

1. Consultation: We examine your mouth and take images to evaluate the damaged or missing tooth.
2. Treatment Plan: Our dentist explains your options and answers any questions.
3. Tooth Preparation: For crowns, we carefully make room for the restoration by filing the tooth down, and for bridges, we strategically file down two healthy teeth on each side to prepare them for the restoration.
4. Temporary Crown or Bridge: While your final crown and brides are being crafted, we protect your tooth with temporary restorations.
5. Final Placement: At your second visit, we cement your custom crown or bridge and check your bite.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s oral health surveillance report, missing teeth can affect both your oral health and overall well-being, and points out that almost 13% of adults aged 65 and over have at least one permanent tooth with untreated decay, and this problem is even more common in certain population groups. Bacteria from untreated dental problems may enter the bloodstream and increase risks of heart disease, respiratory illness, and more.

How Often / Who Needs Crowns and Bridges

You may need a crown or bridge if you have:

• A misshapen, discoloured, or cracked tooth.
• Have a root canal or a large filling in a tooth.
• A missing tooth or teeth.

Most crowns and bridges last 10 years or more with proper care. Regular dental visits twice a year help us monitor their condition.

At-Home Tips Between Visits

Protect your crown or bridge and keep your mouth healthy with these daily habits:

• Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Floss gently around crowns or under bridges with a floss threader.
• Avoid chewing ice or hard candies.
• Use a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth. Ask us about our bruxism nightguards!
