Crowns & Bridges
Let BDC Restore Your Dental Health!
Complimentary Crown or Bridge Consultation
Cracked, damaged, or missing teeth? Crowns & bridges may offer the solution you need to restore your smile and dental health. As with most decisions that affect your overall health, you probably have questions!
A no charge bridge or crown consultation is your opportunity to meet with our dentists. Learn more about available treatments, sedation or pain managements options, and what we can accomplish for your unique needs.
During your consultation, we can:
- Review your dental and medical history
- Perform an oral exam and take X-rays
- Discuss possible treatment options
- Review your insurance information and estimated costs
- Explain what each procedure involves and what they can achieve
- Discuss sedation options
Because there are several types of crowns available, BDC dentists will evaluate several factors and recommend which options would work best for you.
At Brewer Dental Center, we offer crowns & bridges consultations at no charge. We do not obligate you to receive a procedure just because you had a consultation with us – this meeting is strictly informative and we designed it Just for You! After your consultation, you are welcome to schedule a follow-up appointment to begin your treatment at a time that is most convenient for you!
To learn more or discuss your options, you can request a complimentary consultation using the Request an Appointment button, Contact Us Page, or by calling our front desk staff at 406-656-6100.
**Complimentary consultation applies to the initial visit only. Consultation is not a guarantee of treatment at the time of consultation.
Crowns & Bridges in Billings, MT
CROWNS
Dentists use crowns as a cosmetic restoration to strengthen a tooth or improve its shape. They most often use crowns for teeth that tooth decay, wear, or breakage partially destroys.
Dentists cement crowns onto an existing tooth and the crown fully covers the portion of your tooth above the gum line. The crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface. Technicians can make crowns from porcelain, metal, or both. Dentists often prefer porcelain crowns because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong.
Dentists need to use a crown or onlay (also called a partial crown) when the tooth is not strong enough to hold a filling. Unlike fillings where they apply the restorative material directly into your mouth, a dental lab creates a crown outside of your mouth. The lab creates your crown from your unique tooth impression which allows a dental technician to examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. The technician then sculpts your crown just for you so that your bite and jaw movements function normally once the dentist places the crown.
BRIDGES
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite.
A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made of gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, and is bonded into surrounding teeth for support.
The success of any bridge depends on its foundation – the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it is very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook!
