- Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known in restorative dentistry as crown restorations and often informally called caps, are artificial teeth that are fitted over existing teeth or dental implants. These are typically made of durable, glossy porcelain and can be used to top teeth that have been significantly worn down by decay (but retain the natural tooth roots) or can be fitted onto dental implant posts which act as artificial tooth roots. After you receive dental crowns, you can reclaim the appearance and function of natural teeth for many years to come, with proper care. Dr. Jason White has his crowns fabricated right here in Franklin, TN, which can mean a shorter wait time between appointments for you.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges actually incorporate dental crowns, but in a different configuration. With dental bridges, only the outermost crowns are anchored via dental implant posts or living tooth roots. The crowns in between are supported by those teeth, creating a bridge that spans the gap left by the missing teeth. Dental bridges are comprised of two or more crown restorations, which allows us to replace more teeth in a shorter amount of time than through individual dental implants. Like dental crowns, dental bridges can give you the appearance of a full set of natural teeth once again!
