Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns

Missing, damaged, or decayed teeth can be incredibly painful if left untreated. Fortunately, dental crowns are a reliable, durable option to protect and enhance your smile. A dental crown is used to repair a damaged tooth by attaching a porcelain covering over the top of the existing tooth. Valrico dentist Dr. Bynum draws on his extensive experience to ensure the proper fit of your dental crown. An impression of your bite will be used to shape your dental crown. Once shaped, the color of your newly created tooth will be matched against your existing teeth to ensure discreet matching.

Am I a candidate for a dental crown?

Dental crowns aren’t for everybody, but they are a perfect option if you suffer from the following:

• Damaged or cracked tooth which can’t be repaired with a standard filling
• Root canals
• Tooth grinding which severely damages the tooth

Dental Bridges

Dr. Bynum is experienced when it comes to tooth loss. There are a variety of ways which you can lose teeth, but not many options to replace them. A dental bridge is an exceptional option when replacing missing teeth. If you have missing teeth, consider a permanent dental bridge. An impression will be taken of your mouth, and our staff will use that mold to create a set of newly designed teeth. Once the color and size of your dental bridge is determined, your bridge is attached to your existing teeth. Your expertly matched dental bridge spans the gap to create a winning smile.

Your dental bridge is attached your existing teeth by a dental crown on each end, so you’ll have a strong stable bite. You will feel confident because your smile will look and feel natural. Bridges are simple to maintain. Brush and floss as you normally do and you’re done. It’s a simple solution to tooth loss!
