Crowns & Bridges in Camas, WA
Life is too short to live with the discomfort and self-consciousness of damaged or missing teeth. At Camas Dentistry, we offer dental crowns and bridges made of premium materials and custom-crafted just for you.
The Importance of a Healthy Smile
Every laugh, bite, and word can become a challenge when you struggle with decayed, broken, or missing teeth. Beyond aesthetics, these issues can impact your life in numerous ways, from your speech to your eating habits and overall oral health.
You can say goodbye to these limitations with our high-quality tooth crowns and bridges. Dr. Demian Woyciehowsky is an experienced dentist in Camas who offers personalized solutions to restore your teeth, comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
Why We Recommend Dental Crowns
A dental crown covers an entire tooth to return it to its former strength, form, and function. There are several ways we use crowns to benefit your smile:
- Repair cracked or broken teeth
- Restore severely worn teeth
- Strengthen a tooth with significant decay
- Support teeth with large fillings
- Enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
- Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
- Secure dental bridgework
Crowns at Camas Dentistry come in a wide range of materials that look realistic and blend perfectly with your smile. After reviewing your case, we will recommend the type that best suits your individual needs.
4 Steps for Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our Camas dental office as follows:
- Initial consultation — Dr. Demian evaluates your dental history, the extent of damage, and the location of the tooth.
- Tooth preparation — We first remove a layer of tooth enamel to accommodate the crown. Next, we take impressions that act as a blueprint for your new restoration.
- Temporary crown — While a trusted custom dental lab crafts your final crown, we place a temporary on the tooth to protect it.
- Crown placement — At your follow-up appointment, we remove the temporary, carefully fit and adjust your new crown, then cement it securely in place.
With proper care, dental crowns in Camas, WA, have an impressive lifespan, often lasting 10-15 years. The key? Regular check-ups and a dedicated oral hygiene routine.
Missing Tooth Replacement with Dental Bridges
A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It comprises two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a replacement tooth called a pontic that sits between them.
You are a good candidate for a bridge if you —
- Want a fixed solution, unlike a partial denture
- Desire an alternative to dental implants
- Have healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth gap
The process of getting a bridge is similar to that of a crown and requires two appointments. With proper maintenance, your dental bridges can last as long as a decade.
