Welcome to Santa Fe Dental, where your smile is our top priority! We know that when it comes to your dental health, you want nothing less than the best. That’s why we provide top-notch crowns and bridges in Edmond, OK—to ensure your teeth look fabulous and healthy. Let’s dive into why you might need crowns or bridges and why Santa Fe Dental is the right choice for your treatment.

Why Are Crowns Important?

Crowns play a crucial role in protecting and strengthening damaged teeth. If you’ve had a root canal, a large filling, or a broken tooth, a crown can help restore your tooth’s shape, size, and function. Think of it as armor for your tooth-protective and long-lasting.

At Santa Fe Dental, we use high-quality materials for our crowns, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our crowns not only look great but also feel just like your natural teeth. You’ll be able to eat, talk, and smile without worrying about the health or appearance of your tooth.

The Magic of Bridges

Are you missing a tooth? No worries! Bridges can help. A bridge bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It comprises two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap—called abutment teeth—and a false tooth (or teeth) in between. These false teeth are known as pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Your bridge will be anchored in place by natural teeth or implants.

A well-fitted bridge can make a world of difference. It restores your smile and helps maintain the shape of your face, prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of position, and can improve your ability to chew and speak properly. So, it’s not just about aesthetics but about maintaining oral health.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Walking through our doors, you’ll feel the Santa Fe Dental difference. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect during your visit for crowns or bridges:

1. Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation to assess your dental needs and discuss your options. We’ll take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you’re comfortable with your treatment plan.
2. Preparation: For crowns, this involves reshaping your tooth to make room for the crown. For bridges, we prepare the abutment teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them.
3. Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit crown or bridge. This ensures a perfect fit and natural look.   
4. Temporary Crown/Bridge: While your permanent crown or bridge is being made (typically takes a couple of weeks), we can fit you with a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth.
5. Fitting: Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we’ll call you for the fitting. We ensure it fits perfectly, making necessary adjustments and then cementing it.

Care and Maintenance

Your new crowns and bridges invest in your dental health and appearance. With proper care, they can last many years. Here are some tips to keep them in top shape:

• Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Use a fluoride toothpaste and consider an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce plaque buildup.
• Regular Dental Checkups: Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings. We can monitor the condition of your crowns and bridges and address any issues early.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid chewing on hard foods like ice or candy, which can damage your crowns and bridges.
• Wear a Mouthguard: If you grind your teeth or play contact sports, wearing a mouthguard can protect your crowns and bridges.
