Have you been considering restoring your smile with a crown or bridge?

All About Dental Crowns

Crowns act by returning a tooth to its default shape and size. For this reason, Dr. Beverly Moon uses them as tools to restore your dental health and smile.

Picture a tooth that has excessive fillings. A crown can strengthen this tooth. Your Olathe dentist could also repair a cracked or broken tooth by using a crown.

To enhance the appearance of a tooth, a crown is the answer. At Moon Signature Dentistry, our crowns are made from porcelain, zirconia, gold, and porcelain fused to metal. We also use ceramic crowns from e.Max. Lear more about dental crowns by scheduling a visit to our Olathe office today.

FAQs About Dental Bridges

What’s a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a way for Dr. Moon to replace a missing tooth. At Moon Signature Dentistry you can get this appliance if you want to replace one or more teeth but don’t want to wear dentures or commit to surgery for permanent dental implants.

The new tooth is held in place by two crowns. It looks natural and consists of a ceramic or porcelain material to match the surrounding teeth.

Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

Are you missing teeth? Can you keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy with regular brushing and flossing? Dental bridges from Moon Signature Dentistry give you a fantastic way to replace your missing teeth and restore a healthy and confident smile.

Missing teeth can often cause problems with chewing or speaking, and they also don’t look very good to other people. If you don’t immediately replace missing teeth, the teeth around the open space tend to shift toward it.

Bridges correct your bite, which improves your chewing and speech. It also improves your cosmetic appearance by keeping your facial features from collapsing and making you look old ahead of your time.

What’s the Process for Getting a Bridge?

For a traditional fixed bridge, you’ll come to two different appointments, and there are a few steps:

First, Dr. Moon takes specific notes about the size, shape, and color of your teeth. You’ll also let us take impressions of the teeth all around the area with the missing tooth.
Then, our team sends your information to a licensed dental ceramist at a special lab. There, a dental ceramist makes a high-quality replacement tooth.
When we receive your bridges from the lab, you’ll come back to our Olathe dentist office. Then, Dr. Moon will place your permanent dental bridge on the two teeth surrounding the missing tooth.
