Are you missing one or more teeth? If so, you’ve probably spent far too long chewing only on one side of your mouth and avoiding smiling for photographs. With dental crowns and dental bridges in Spring Creek and Elko, NV, our team at Marina Hills Implant and Dental Centers can skillfully restore your problematic teeth. With Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) technology, we can generally create your restoration in a single visit!
Dental crowns serve as protective tooth caps that cover and restore damaged teeth, offering improved durability and aesthetics. Through our advanced dental technology, CEREC crowns are precisely created to perfectly fit over your damaged tooth. These crowns are expertly bonded to your tooth, replicating the size, shape, and color of your natural tooth for a seamless and flawless appearance.
Dental bridges offer a solution for replacing one or more missing teeth by utilizing artificial teeth made from durable materials like resin or porcelain. These bridges serve as a “bridge” to fill the gap left by missing teeth, with the help of crowns that anchor the bridge and hold the artificial teeth securely in place. Whether you have one or multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge can effectively restore your smile by seamlessly filling the empty space.
Drs. David and Russell Diehl and Dr. Joseph Weber generally recommend crowns for teeth that are too damaged for fillings, and dental bridges when the teeth on both sides of the gap are sturdy and healthy. Other reasons you may qualify for a same-day dental crown or bridge include:
The first step toward this type of restoration is your consultation. Our dentists will examine your mouth with a special focus on the problem area. Depending on your condition and smile goals, we may take 3D digital scans, X-rays, or impressions. This information is then put into our CEREC machine, which uses computer-aided design (CAD) software to mill your restoration from a ceramic block that matches the color of your original teeth. CEREC can often create restorations in as little as 20 minutes! Once your tooth crown or bridge is firmly attached, we’ll check that it fits perfectly and that the bite is comfortable, filing down patches if needed.
CEREC technology brings remarkable efficiency to the dental restoration process. With in-house milling capabilities, there is no need for your crown or bridge to be sent to an external lab, significantly reducing the time required for your treatment. This time-saving advantage translates into fewer visits to our office, allowing you to save both time and money.
We understand that cost is a concern when it comes to dental procedures such as crowns or bridges, which is why we offer flexible payment options to accommodate different budgets. We are in-network with most major dental insurance providers and partner with leading third-party financing companies, ensuring that you can maximize your insurance benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses. Our goal is to make high-quality dental care accessible and affordable, providing you with the convenience and financial flexibility you deserve.
