Houston Dental Oasis is proud to offer expert restoration services with dental crowns and bridges, providing patients with durable solutions for damaged or missing teeth. Our state-of-the-art clinic ensures that every patient receives care that not only restores function but also enhances dental aesthetics.
Selecting the right clinic is crucial for dental restoration. At Houston Dental Oasis, we combine advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to create restorations that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, ensuring comfort and a natural appearance.
Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth, anchored on either side by crowns.
Crowns and bridges work by protecting and strengthening tooth structures or replacing missing teeth, respectively. They are cemented onto existing teeth or implants and are designed to match the color, height, and texture of your natural teeth.
The first step involves a thorough consultation to assess your dental health and discuss your restoration options. This includes taking X-rays and making impressions of your existing teeth.
Our dental professionals will prepare your teeth for crowns or bridges, which may involve reshaping the tooth surface. Temporary crowns or bridges are placed while your custom-made permanent restorations are being prepared in a lab.
Following the placement of your crowns or bridges, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to ensure proper fit and comfort, adjusting as necessary for perfect alignment.
Crowns and bridges restore functionality to your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak without difficulty. They also help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting.
With materials that mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth, crowns and bridges improve the overall appearance of your smile, boosting confidence and social interaction.
Individuals with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth are ideal candidates for crowns and bridges. These restorations are also suitable for patients looking to improve the cosmetic appearance of their smile.
Crowns and bridges can address a range of dental issues, including tooth decay, injuries, and tooth loss, providing a comprehensive solution that preserves dental health and hygiene.
Materials range from porcelain and ceramics to metal alloys, each offering different benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and cost.
Our dental team helps you choose the best material based on your specific needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget, ensuring that your restorations are both beautiful and functional.
Caring for crowns and bridges involves regular brushing and flossing, using non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste, and avoiding hard foods that could damage the restoration.

We address common concerns such as sensitivity, fit issues, and maintenance, providing solutions that enhance comfort and ensure long-term satisfaction with your restorations.
