COMPARING DENTAL BRIDGES AND IMPLANTS

At Nu Dentistry, we always want you to put your best smile forward on your terms

There are more options besides dental bridges for tooth replacement. An additional common alternative is a dental implant. Both are great choices, but only one is right for you and your particular requirements. Because their roots are titanium screws or posts placed in the jaw, dental implants perform most closely to natural teeth in terms of functionality. This post is joined to an abutment and a dental crown to finish your new tooth. To support your fake teeth, it is not required to alter nearby teeth. Long-term health and wholeness of the jaw are maintained by this adjustment. The implant technique, however, takes time and necessitates numerous surgical sessions. Additionally, they may take six months to a year to finish. Implants, however, can last a lifetime or even decades with careful maintenance. A dental bridge, in contrast, just needs two visits and far less extensive care. Additionally, it is far less costly, especially when several teeth need to be replaced. Our dental practice also provides implant-supported bridges for simultaneous replacement of three teeth or more. By securing the bridge's crowns on implants rather than nearby teeth, we can give your fake teeth the best of both worlds. With less time and money spent, implant bridges improve oral health and bite stability.

YOUR DENTAL CROWN OPTIONS

At Nu Dentistry, we have multiple types of dental crowns available so you always put your best smile forward

ALL-PORCELAIN

Porcelain crowns combine beauty and toughness to produce a dental crown that looks natural and may endure, on average, 10 to 15 years. If taken care of correctly, they can last for more than 20 or 25 years. The most natural-looking crowns are made entirely of porcelain because they closely resemble your real teeth and complement the rest of your smile.

PORCELAIN-FUSED-TO-METAL

Dental crowns made with PFM have a porcelain covering that hides a thicker metal basis underneath. As a result, they can survive the daily stresses your mouth experiences from eating and mealtimes as well as dental mishaps while yet maintaining a natural appearance. PFM crowns, like all-porcelain crowns, can endure for 20 years or longer with the right upkeep.

METAL

Metal alloys including silver, chromium, nickel, palladium, and platinum are frequently used to make metal crowns. They don't seem natural, but they sacrifice aesthetics for longevity and strength. Metal crowns can tolerate more power and pressure and are very resistant to breaking and chipping. Crowns made of metal can last up to 30 years.

GOLD

These dental crowns are the most resilient, even in comparison to other metal crowns. Gold is equally strong as other metals and corrodes just as quickly as natural enamel. These crowns may easily endure between 40 years and a lifetime with the right maintenance.

RESTORE MISSING TEETH WITH DENTAL BRIDGES

Complete your smile in style with a dental bridge

Dental crowns can assist you in replacing your missing tooth with a dental bridge after tooth extraction. A fake tooth connects two dental crowns to form a bridge (pontic). How does a dental bridge function? By affixing the bridge's crowns to two adjacent teeth on either side of the tooth gap, the pontic can neatly and firmly fill the empty socket. In the same way that our dentists do for normal dental crown operations, the abutment teeth will be cut and reshaped to suit the crowns.

Dental bridges can be customized to meet your unique needs. A single bridge may readily replace up to four lost teeth in a row at once, depending on the form of your mouth. In only two sessions, bridges from our clinic may restore your old bite and smile since they are made to appear and feel natural. There are several benefits to using a dental bridge to replace lost teeth in addition to looks. They are competent to:

  • Help retain your facial structure after losing teeth
  • Stabilize your bite and make eating easier
  • Restore and improve speech
  • Prevent your remaining teeth from moving out of alignment
  • Improve your self-confidence

Are you ready to restore your smile with a natural-looking solution like our dental bridge? Call our dental office at (832) 930-7738.

Cavity Fillings

A vital dental operation used to restore decaying teeth and prevent further harm is cavity filling. This process is also used to repair teeth that have been broken, chipped, or cracked, as well as to strengthen teeth that have grown weak with time. At Nu Dentistry, we employ trained dentists that are skilled at properly treating cavities so you may strengthen your teeth and whiten your smile.

Implants

When properly put and finished, dental implants are one of the best options for permanently replacing missing teeth. The natural root of your tooth is replaced by dental implants. As a result, bone deterioration is stopped. Additionally, by using dental implants as replacement teeth, you may preserve your original teeth while keeping the neighboring teeth healthy. If taken care of and maintained properly, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Dentures

Do you feel less confident as a result of missing teeth? Dentures from Nu Dentistry are a great way to repair your smile. Dentures, which have been around for a while, are one of the most popular ways to replace lost teeth. Furthermore, we work hard to make our custom dentures appear as natural as possible. With the aid of modern technology, some dentures may now be securely fastened to your jaw, improving retention and giving you an even more realistic appearance.

Crown & Bridge FAQ

The cost of your dental crown is determined by the material. Dental crowns made entirely of porcelain, for instance, are the most expensive; metal and PFM crowns are less expensive. Usually, gold crowns fall between these two levels. The price of your treatment may also change if you need additional procedures like root canals or dental implants. Check with your dentist in advance to see if dental crowns are normally covered by your dental insurance.

Stronger materials are required to guarantee dental crowns on back teeth last since they endure more everyday strain from taking the full force of your bite. The longevity of a dental crown relies on the material used and your own lifestyle choices. For instance, crowns made of porcelain often endure 10 to 15 years. Most metal crowns have a lifespan of about 30 years, however gold crowns have a lifespan of 40 to 100 years. However, neglecting dental care and grinding one's teeth at sleep can shorten a crown's lifespan and necessitate replacement in as little as five years.

At the conclusion of your initial session, a temporary crown is applied to your tooth. They are only intended to last a few weeks while your permanent dental crown is being created and are constructed of less durable materials. The porcelain, metal, or a mix of the two permanent crowns are designed to last a lifetime and remain in excellent shape.

PFM crowns have a porcelain surface but also have a bottom metal rim that is normally buried below the gum line. This black edge at the base of the crown is often undetectable, but receding gums and gum disease can make it noticeable. In many cases, this may be cured with excellent dental care. However, in other circumstances, it could be a signal to visit our dentist for a checkup.

The price of dental bridges can vary depending on a variety of variables, such as the style of bridge, the materials used, the quantity of teeth restored, and the position of the missing teeth. Additionally, implant-supported dental bridges will cost more to install than conventional ones due to the need for additional procedures like bone grafting.

A dental bridge uses the teeth on each end of the tooth gap as anchors to hold the fake tooth in place. These abutment teeth serve as the anchors for the bridge's crowns so that the pontic in between may easily fill the space. Instead, an oral surgeon places a dental implant directly into the jaw. This may require many sessions and several months to complete, depending on your individual needs.

“Never Thought I'd Say It”

I never thought I’d say it, but going to the dentist is actually fun now. I recently came in for a root canal, and I got to sit back and catch up on Stranger Things without any pain!

“Anxiety Has Kept Me Away ”

I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!

“The Best Dentist In Houston, TX”
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time, we have tried a bunch of places but nothing felt quite like home. Not too long ago we stumbled upon Nu Dentistry and met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.
