Same-Day Dental Crowns & Bridges in Barrie

Barrie woman smiling We all want to keep our natural teeth healthy and in good condition, but it's not always possible. Decay, trauma, and other issues can lead to damaged or missing teeth.

In most cases where a tooth is lost or becomes damaged like this, the doctors at Park Place Dental still turn to time-tested solutions like dental crowns and bridges.

Treating damaged or missing teeth as quickly as possible is not just good for your oral health. Both problems affect your appearance and can prevent you from smiling openly. However, you also have to live with the inconvenience of teeth that affect your speech and even your ability to chew and eat normally.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns restore decayed or compromised teeth, while a bridge replaces adjacent missing teeth. Here's why these restorations may be the right choice for your smile.

No Surgery

A dental bridge replaces adjacent missing teeth without the need for surgery, as dental implants require.

Better Tooth Structure

A crown completely covers a compromised tooth, so it restores structure and function to your smile.

Restored Aesthetics

Choosing a crown or bridge will restore your teeth so you can smile with confidence again.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental filling is ideal for repairing small areas of tooth decay. If your tooth is broken or has sustained more decay or damage than a dental filling can comfortably fix, your Barrie, ON dentist will recommend a tooth crown.

A crown covers your remaining tooth structure like a cap and fits all the way to the gum line. It is made of ceramic porcelain for teeth that you can see, which gives you all the aesthetics of a natural tooth. We might recommend gold or other types of metal for molars or teeth that take the brunt of your chewing force. 

How to Care For Your Crown

A tooth crown also functions like a regular tooth, so you can eat all the foods you would typically enjoy.

You can brush and floss your new crown just as you were used to, and regular trips to your dentist every six months will ensure its health and longevity. 

If your dentist has diagnosed a crown for your tooth, it is important not to delay your treatment since a fractured or decayed tooth can become infected.

Contact Our Barrie Dental Clinic

Contact Park Place Dental today to schedule your appointment and discuss any further questions you might have about dental crowns in Barrie, ON.

If your tooth is fractured or decayed to the point that a dental filling can't repair it, our Barrie dentists may recommend a dental crown to fix your tooth. A tooth crown is designed to mimic your natural tooth in both shape and colour closely, so it blends flawlessly with your smile and provides all the functions you're used to.

The process for completing a crown is fairly straightforward and typically takes about three weeks. First, your Barrie dentist will prepare your tooth for its new restoration and make a temporary crown for you to wear while a dental lab makes your permanent crown.

Porcelain Crowns in Barrie

For crowns that you will see when you smile, our dentists use ceramic porcelain. This material is durable and will hold up to biting and chewing forces, yet it is also highly customizable, so it complements your smile.

When your final restoration is ready, your dentist will place it permanently and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is functioning properly.

When you take good care of a crown with consistent brushing, flossing, and bi-annual trips to your dentist, it has the potential to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

Contact your team at Park Place Dental today if you have any questions about dental crowns in Barrie, ON.
 

In general, you can expect your crown to last 5 to 15 years. With proper care, it is even possible for them to last for 20 years or more. 

Natural-Looking Dental Restorations

A porcelain crown is a type of dental restoration used to cover a tooth that is damaged or decayed. An impression of the tooth is used to create the crown, which is then covered in porcelain. This makes the crown look like a natural tooth and helps protect the tooth from further damage.

dental crownsA dentist uses a dental crown in cases where the tooth is severely damaged or decayed, but a cosmetic dentist can also use it for aesthetic purposes. Additionally, a porcelain crown may be the only way to restore a damaged tooth to its original appearance.

Issues That Can Impact Dental Crown Longevity

Although they are designed to last for many years, the answer may depend on several factors, including:

  • The health of your mouth
  • The quality of your oral hygiene
  • How well you care for your teeth

These factors can all impact the lifespan of your porcelain crown. An excellent dental hygiene routine can make them last a lifetime. If you are considering a porcelain crown, you can rest assured that it will provide long-lasting results.

Are you unhappy with your smile? If you are considering porcelain crowns, call our office today to schedule a consultation. We will be happy to answer any questions you have and help you decide if dental crowns are right for you.

Are you living with one or multiple missing teeth? A dental bridge is an affordable tooth replacement option for those missing one or two teeth in a row. Dental bridges in Barrie don’t require surgery like a dental implant and can last for many years with excellent care and regular dental checkups. 

woman smilingHow a Dental Bridge Works

A bridge uses tooth crowns as anchors to healthy teeth while they support artificial teeth attached in between that fill in the open spaces. We design the bridge using ceramic porcelain that we customize to match your surrounding teeth and complement your smile.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge 

You'll be able to brush and floss daily around your bridge. Keeping your anchor crowns clean and plaque-free is really the key to longevity for your dental bridge. Cleaning under a dental bridge requires special floss or a small brush.

Attending your bi-annual teeth cleanings and checkups at your Barrie dentist is also essential for keeping your dental bridge clean, healthy, and in exceptional working order.

What Does a Dental Crown Do?

There are many different situations in which we may recommend a crown as the most appropriate solution for a damaged tooth. Some of these are: 

  • Restoring a tooth damaged by injury or decay
  • Protecting a tooth after a large filling
  • Restoring a tooth that is badly worn or cracked
  • Reinforcing a tooth after a root canal procedure
  • Creating a functional restoration for a dental implant
  • Serving as an anchor for a dental bridge or dentures

All our dental crowns are custom-fabricated to fit into your mouth naturally. We will match the colour, size, and shape closely to your surrounding natural teeth. We'll take impressions, then prepare the natural tooth by altering its shape so the crown fits naturally.

Once the custom crown is bonded in place, it will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.

CEREC uses 3-D imaging to capture an impression of your tooth, so we no longer have to use the messy and uncomfortable impression material we used in the past.

Replace Missing Teeth with Fixed Bridges

Barrie woman smilingA dental bridge is fixed a restoration that includes one or more artificial teeth used to fill the empty space left after a natural tooth or adjacent teeth are lost.

A traditional bridge utilizes dental crowns as anchors to healthy teeth with one or more prosthetic teeth attached in between. In some instances, Dr. Joo may use dental implants to anchor the bridge and provide permanent stability.

Same-Day Restoration Process

Park Place Dental is excited to offer our patients same-day restorations like crowns and bridges with modern CEREC technology. CEREC streamlines the fabrication process of restorations like crowns and bridges, so what used to take two to three weeks to complete at a dental lab now only takes our dentists 60 to 90 minutes to complete at our Barrie, ON, dental office. 

We'll begin by scanning your tooth, which creates a 3-D image that our dentists use to design your crown or bridge. They'll send their specifications directly to the milling machine in our dental office, which mills your same-day crown while you wait. Then, our dentists will permanently place your crown and make any adjustments to ensure your bite functions correctly. 

You'll leave our dental office the same day with your new fully functioning crown or bridge that blends seamlessly into your smile! CEREC eliminates the need for uncomfortable and messy impressions with 3-D imaging, and you won't have to wear a temporary crown while you wait for a dental lab to complete your restoration.
