Benefiting our Waterford patients with neuromuscular dental crowns-bridges
Our teeth are necessary not only for aesthetic purposes. They are also invaluable to the digestive process, and lend support to the facial structure. Missing teeth affect the appearance of the smile, and can lead to an increased risk for oral conditions such as gum disease, cavities, and even TMJ disorder. Rather than allow one of your greatest professional and social assets be affected, contact our Waterford area practice to discuss dental crowns-bridges.
Dental crowns are covers modeled after the natural tooth structure, used to repair an extensively damaged tooth or as a part of a dental bridge. Even with the advancement of dental implants, there are patients who may be best served by a dental bridge to restore optimal function after the loss of a tooth or teeth. With our specialized neuromuscular approach to dental bridges, we can accomplish goals such as:
The dental bridge process can usually be completed in two office visits. During the first visit, in which the anchor teeth are shaped to accommodate a dental crown, and impressions are taken, the patient is fitted with temporary crowns. On the return visit, permanent bridgework is ready for placement after a thorough fit assessment.
While we recommend dental implants for their lifelong function, a dental bridge from Metropolitan Dental Center is crafted to last for ten years or more with proper care, making it a viable solution for missing teeth.

With our specialized neuromuscular approach to dental bridges, we can accomplish goals such as:
- Optimal function for chewing and speaking.
- A natural-looking smile.
- Sustained alignment, preventing the shifting of the surrounding teeth.
- Preservation or restoration of facial contours.
- Even distribution of bite force between all teeth.
