Dental Crowns & Bridges

Looking for dental crowns in Saskatoon or Watrous? When a tooth or teeth are missing, it can start a chain reaction of other issues in the mouth. The uneven spread of chewing can cause other teeth to take on more work and get worn down. Without a tooth taking up space, the neighbouring teeth can start to move and cause other teeth to become crooked. Missing teeth can also make a person feel self-conscious and not want to smile as much as they should.

Reasons for Dental Crowns:

• Protect heavily restored teeth from fracture – Teeth with large restorations or fractures are weakened and crowns are a way to prevent further fracture of these teeth.
• Protect root canaled teeth – Teeth with root canals are generally more prone to fracture therefore crowns are a good way to prevent tooth fracture.
• Cosmetic reasons – We are able to change the shape and color of teeth with crowns.

Reasons for Dental Bridges:

• Replace missing teeth therefore restoring the ability to properly speak and eat.
• Decrease stress on remaining dentition as it allows for more surface area to spread out chewing forces.
• Maintain tooth position so teeth do not drift.

Along with dental bridges, there are other methods for restoring missing teeth.
