Crowns & Cosmetics Veneers in frisco

---

 A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the  entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size.  A  crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored  with fillings or other types of restorations.

Although there are several types of crowns,  porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular.  They are highly  durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations,  they may eventually need to be replaced.  Porcelain crowns are made to  match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a  long-lasting, beautiful smile.

Reasons for crowns:

• Broken or fractured teeth.
• Cosmetic enhancement.
• Decayed teeth.
• Fractured fillings.
• Large fillings.
• Tooth has a root canal. 

What does getting a crown involve? 

A crown procedure usually requires two  appointments.  Your first appointment will include taking several highly  accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom  crown.  A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will  stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is  fabricated by a dental laboratory.

While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare  the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit  the crown.  Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown  will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to  ensure you are biting properly.

At your second appointment, your temporary crown  will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be  carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.

You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown. Our crowns are guaranty for 5 yrs.

  A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.

There are several types of bridges.  You  and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular  case.  The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually  made of porcelain fused to metal.  This type of bridge consists of two  crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are  attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one  or more missing teeth.  

Dental bridges are highly  durable and will last many years; however, they may need replacement or  need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

Reasons for a fixed bridge:

• Fill space of missing teeth. 
• Maintain facial shape. 
• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. 
• Restore chewing and speaking ability. 
• Restore your smile. 
• Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance. 

What does getting a fixed bridge involve?

Getting a bridge usually requires two or  more visits.  While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are  prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown.  Next, a  highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental  laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated.  In addition, a  temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next  appointment.

At the second visit, your permanent bridge  will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper  fit.  Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge,  allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge.  The  new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time.

You will receive care instructions at the  conclusion of the procedure.  Proper brushing, flossing, and regular  dental visits will aid in the life of your new, permanent bridge. Our work and bridges are guaranty for 5 yrs.

 Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth  shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a  professional dental laboratory.  They are bonded onto the front of teeth  to create a beautiful and attractive smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and  smile.  They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution  in treating many dental conditions.

As with most dental restorations, veneers are  not permanent and may someday need replacement.  They are very durable  and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

• Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile. 
• Crooked teeth. 
• Misshapen teeth. 
• Severely discolored or stained teeth. 
• Teeth that are too small or large. 
• Unwanted or uneven spaces. 
• Worn or chipped teeth.

What does getting porcelain veneers involve?

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to  complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the  procedure.  The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the  surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer.  A mold or impression  of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and  the dentist in Frisco office.

On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed  with special liquids to achieve a durable bond.  Bonding cement is then  placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to  harden and set the bond.
