If you have an untreated cavity or a large failing filling in a tooth, this can cause pain, ultimately get worse, and likely require a bridge or dental implant down the road. And if you already have a missing tooth, this can cause an array of problems, including shifting of surrounding teeth, an increased risk of decay and gum disease, eating challenges, and a painful bite.
The good news is that a dental crown or dental bridge in Molalla, OR, can restore your function and aesthetics and help prevent the need for more costly procedures. At Fountain Valley Dental, we always follow the most conservative approach. We are passionate about restoring our patients’ smiles and lives through affordable and high-quality dentistry.
A dental crown is a porcelain or zirconia tooth cap that completely covers the visible part of a compromised tooth to restore its function and appearance. Dental crowns in Molalla, OR, are a cost-effective procedure that helps prevent the extraction of a damaged, severely decayed, or weakened tooth after root canal therapy. When you get a crown designed by Dr. Benjamin Whitted, the process involves taking digital impressions, modifying the tooth, taking additional impressions, and placing a comfortable, temporary composite tooth cap.
A high-quality, permanent tooth crown fabricated by a skilled dental lab technician blends seamlessly with your existing teeth in color and shape. If the integrity of the underlying tooth is strong, you maintain good oral hygiene, and you are careful not to bite down on hard foods, a superbly crafted crown from Fountain Valley Dental can last for several decades!
Instead of a single crown, a false tooth in the empty space left by a missing tooth is supported by two modified and crowned adjacent teeth on each side. A dental bridge in Molala, OR, eliminates unsightly gaps in your smile while improving your ability to eat and speak.
Although a dental bridge prevents remaining teeth from shifting and altering your bite, bone loss continues in the empty space under the false tooth because the missing tooth root isn’t replaced. An implant-retained bridge provides a far stronger option if you have two consecutive missing teeth, while stimulating new bone growth.
The cost of crowns and bridges is based on the number of teeth that require treatment and the materials used. With that said, we always go the extra mile at Fountain Valley Dental to offer competitive prices and make sure any treatment reflects your unique clinical needs and goals.
Dr. Whitted is as passionate about building a long-term, trusted relationship with you as striving to deliver outstanding restorative dentistry. With various third-party dental financing options and loan terms that best suit your needs, restoring a damaged or missing tooth with an artfully fabricated crown or bridge in Molalla, OR, is easy!
