At Dental Theory, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments, including veneers, crowns, and bridges. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Chris Karapasha, is dedicated to helping you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile that you can be proud of.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are an excellent option for addressing a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Gaps between teeth
Crowns
Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are used to restore teeth that are:
- Severely decayed or damaged
- Weakened after root canal therapy
- Misshapen or discolored
- Replacing a missing tooth as part of a dental implant
Dental Theory uses advanced technology and materials to create crowns that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Bridges
Bridges are a traditional method for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns on either side of the gap. Bridges offer several benefits, including:
- Restoring your smile's appearance
- Improving your ability to chew and speak
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Distributing the forces in your bite properly
- Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Our team will work closely with you to design a bridge that fits comfortably, functions properly, and enhances your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last between 7-15 years, while crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. The longevity of these restorations depends on factors such as oral hygiene habits, diet, and the location of the restoration in the mouth.
The process of getting veneers, crowns, or bridges is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area during the procedure, and any post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Caring for your veneers, crowns, or bridges is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, as this can damage your restorations.
Coverage for veneers, crowns, and bridges varies depending on your specific insurance plan and the reason for the treatment. Typically, insurance may cover a portion of the cost if the treatment is deemed medically necessary. Our team at Dental Theory will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and provide you with a clear understanding of your out-of-pocket expenses.
