Dental Implants vs. Crown and Bridge: Which Restorative Option is Right for You?

June 20, 2014

Shutterstock Explaining ImplantsFor patients with missing teeth, modern technology and the wide world of restorative dentistry offer many options. At Smile Creations in Massapequa Park, NY, Dr. Allan Mohr and his team help patients of various ages and backgrounds rebuild their damaged, incomplete smiles with lifelike, quality restorations, including dental implants and bridges. A common question from patients considering tooth replacement options involves the choice between dental implants and a bridge: which one is best?

Should I Choose a Bridge or Dental Implants?

A fixed bridge is a dental prosthesis that is designed to replace between one and three missing teeth, spanning the gap between two natural teeth that are structurally sound. Two custom-made porcelain crowns are affixed to the anchoring teeth on either side of the gap, and the prosthetic teeth in between effectively replace those that have been lost.

A dental implant replaces the entirety of a missing tooth, including the root within the bone of the jaw. It consists of a strategically placed post that fuses with the jaw over time, serving as a sturdy anchor for a custom restoration. Dental implants look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth, all while providing essential stimulation within the jaw bone; this prevents further deterioration and reduces the risk of additional tooth loss in the future. A dental implant is the one restorative option that precisely mirrors the functionality of a natural tooth, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile freely without limitations.

So which is better? Because each patient is unique, there is no straightforward, one-size-fits-all answer to this question. A consultation with Dr. Mohr will help determine which restorative dentistry solution best suits your individual needs, giving you the opportunity to explore your options and get answers to any questions you may have.

Porcelain Crowns from Smile Creations: Restore Form & Function with Dr. Allan Mohr

May 26, 2014

shutterstock_94075012The placement of crowns is among the most commonly performed restorative dentistry procedure today. Dental crowns provide teeth that have been compromised by decay or damage with vital structural stability. Porcelain crowns – like those placed by Dr. Allan Mohr at Smile Creations in Massapequa Park, NY – are an optimal solution for fortifying a damaged tooth while improving its aesthetic appeal as well.

Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?

Dental porcelain is an incredibly durable material that is also stain-resistant, making it the ideal material for the personalization of a crown. A porcelain crown covers the entire visible surface of your tooth, protecting it from further damage and infection. The process by which your brand new restoration will be fabricated and placed will be explained to you in detail at your appointment with Dr. Mohr. We want you to feel comfortable, secure, and informed along every step of your treatment.

First, an impression of your tooth is taken in order to ensure a perfect fit for your new restoration. This information is used to custom-craft a porcelain crown that precisely matches the rest of your dentition. When your crown is placed, it will blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile with complete comfort.
