Daily activities such as chewing may be uncomfortable if you have damaged or decayed teeth. If you have tooth loss, this can affect your ability to eat a balanced diet, increase the risk of decay and gum disease, lead to bone loss and speech issues, and impact your self-esteem. Fortunately, you have many choices to restore your smile, including dental crowns, dental bridges, and implant-supported restorations.
Whether you’re struggling with a broken tooth or need to fill a smile gap, crowns, and bridges provide excellent functional and cosmetic benefits. Our skilled dentists have many years of cosmetic and restorative dentistry experience using the latest technology at Shasta Family Dentistry. This includes a Glidewell milling machine that enables crafting customized, premium quality, same-day dental crowns in Redding, CA, and Palo Cedro, CA.
A dental crown is a tooth cap fabricated from zirconia that restores function and aesthetics to a tooth chipped, broken, fractured, badly decayed, or weakened after a root canal. The impacted tooth needs to be modified to accommodate the tooth crown. Instead of messy molding material, we use digital impressions to create your crowns.
In addition to incredible convenience and superb quality control, milling technology offers versatility because we can select the best high-quality zirconia to meet your specific needs, such as bruxism (tooth grinding/clenching). The process is streamlined and quick, eliminating the need to fit you with a temporary crown. Zirconia offers outstanding biocompatibility, strength, and enhanced ability to match the shade to blend perfectly with your other teeth.
A dental bridge in Redding, CA, and Palo Cedro, CA, replaces one or more missing teeth in a row by literally bridging the gap. A dental crown is placed on modified natural teeth on each side of the space to form a bridge. The pontics (replacement teeth) are attached to the crowns.
While dental bridges restore function and beauty, bone loss continues under the false tooth because the tooth root isn’t replaced. Any alternative option at Shasta Family Dentistry is a dental implant-supported bridge. The implant posts fuse with your underlying bone to reverse bone loss while providing greater bridge function and longevity.
The cost of these procedures varies based on the materials used, the number of teeth being restored, and whether we can use in-house milling technology or send the order to an outside dental lab. We pride ourselves on open communication and transparency, so we’ll discuss costs with you before work begins. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer third-party financing plans to make tooth crowns and bridges even more affordable in Redding, CA, and Palo Cedro, CA.
