Crowns & Bridges
• • •
tooth repair in One Visit
Dr. Wayne Hollar, DDS, uses crowns to cap a missing, cracked, worn down, weakened tooth or a tooth that has been through a root canal. Crowns can be made from several different materials such as porcelain, ceramic, composite resin, metal alloys, or a combination. Dr. Wayne Hollar, DDS, uses crowns that resemble natural teeth. Crowns make teeth stronger and can prevent further decay or deterioration.
Beautiful CEREC One-Visit Crowns
In four easy steps but still in one simple visit, we can create and attach a custom crown for your tooth. After we scan the tooth, the CEREC software uses smart technology to design a crown to fit you. The milling and grinding process ensures smooth surface and edges. Then, we stain, glaze, and bond it to your tooth. This is all done chairside, and you are all set to go home.
Dental Bridges
The four types of dental bridges are traditional, cantilever, and Maryland. Dr. Wayne Hollar, DDS, installs all four kinds. Conventional and cantilever bridges are more common because they are the least invasive. Fake teeth are cemented on each side between your natural teeth via a crown and an abutment. A cantilever bridge resembles a traditional bridge, except the artificial tooth is only cemented on one side of the crown. A Maryland bridge consists of a porcelain or metal frame that holds the artificial tooth in place. The frame is mounted across and attached to the adjacent teeth.
