Dental Crowns and Bridges in Boulder, CO

Diagonal Dental of Boulder creates attractive crowns and bridges to restore oral health and appearance. A dental crown is a custom-made tooth cap that covers a natural tooth from the crest down to the gumline. A crown shields and strengthens the underlying tooth while improving its shape, color, and overall appearance. 

Dental crowns can do the following: 

• Restore a broken, chipped, decayed, or damaged tooth
• Reinforce a root-canaled tooth 
• Top a dental implant
• Anchor a dental bridge
• Conceal a discolored or misshapen tooth 
• Stabilize your bite
• Protect a weak, brittle, or worn tooth

A dental bridge replaces one or more consecutively missing teeth. The bridge is cemented in place using crowns bonded to adjacent teeth. The replacement tooth (pontic) bridges the gap in your smile. 

Both crowns and bridges in Boulder can be made from various materials. Dr. Amedro's philosophy is that dentistry should blend in with your smile and look as natural as possible. He meticulously designs your restorations using durable materials that look remarkably like enamel. 

Once Dr. Amedro determines what restoration you need, he will prepare your teeth accordingly and take a digital impression of your teeth. He also fine-tunes the design so your restoration fits precisely and blends beautifully with your smile. 

He then sends your impression to our dental lab partners, where a skilled technician crafts your restoration. When the restoration is ready to be placed, Dr. Amedro checks their fit and appearance and cements them in place. And that's it! You're ready to show off your stunning new smile!

Although restorations don't catch cavities, you must still take excellent care of your teeth and gums. For example, a crown or bridge can't prevent gum disease, and your remaining natural teeth can still develop decay if you're not careful. 

To ensure your natural teeth and restorations stay in good shape, we recommend the following: 

• Brush your teeth twice daily. 
• Floss once daily. 
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 
• Eat a nutritious diet and avoid sugary foods and beverages. 
• Never use your teeth as tools to open packages or untwist bottle caps. 
• Avoid chewing or biting down on hard objects, like pens, ice, and fingernails. 
• See your dentist for routine dental exams and cleanings. 

Dr. Amedro will advise you on any changes to your oral hygiene routine since dental bridges require a little extra care. 

It's also important to visit our Boulder dental office every six months so we can inspect your mouth for any potential issues and clean your teeth. Preventive care such as this is key to keeping most common oral health concerns at bay.
