Crowns and Bridges in Rose Hill, KS

Despite its small population, Rose Hill boasts some of the best health care available. Nowhere is this more true than for dental care. If you need a crown or a bridge, you can feel safe placing your trust in the professionals in our office, in Rose Hill, KS. We are trained in the techniques involved in creating crowns and bridges, and have been doing so for the last 33 years.

A crown is made of an artificial material, and is placed over a damaged tooth. This is commonly referred to as an artificial tooth or a cap. It looks perfectly natural and functions like a natural tooth. Your crown can be made of a number of materials including gold or porcelain. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

A gold tooth could be used at the back where it isn’t as noticeable. It is stronger and well suited as a replacement tooth. It provides a sturdy support for a fixed bridge if necessary. A porcelain crown is more likely to be used in the front, where gold might be distracting. If it needs to be used as an anchor for a bridge, it can be made of metal under the porcelain to make it strong enough to do the job.

If there has been extensive damage to the teeth requiring an extraction, a crown can be placed over a dental implant. This means that an incident or accident that destroys one or more teeth you won’t be forced to live with this problem. The judicious use of implants can let us use crowns and/or bridges to restore your mouth, so you can enjoy good dental health once again.

Crowns and bridges require serious consideration.
