Dental Crowns
Dr. Alex Martin is dedicated to providing top-quality dental care, including a range of dental crown options to restore your smile's beauty and function. Our lab fabricated crowns are meticulously crafted in a state-of-the-art dental laboratory to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.
We offer a variety of crown materials to suit your specific needs and preferences:
- All-Porcelain Crowns: These crowns are highly aesthetic, closely mimicking the natural look and translucency of teeth. They are ideal for patients with metal allergies or who desire a more natural-looking restoration.
- Zirconia Crowns: Known for their exceptional strength and durability, zirconia crowns are a popular choice for restoring teeth that require significant support. They are highly resistant to chipping and wear, making them a long-lasting solution.
- Implant-Supported Crowns: When a tooth is missing, a dental implant can serve as a strong and stable foundation for a crown. This provides a long-lasting and natural-looking solution that restores both the function and appearance of your smile.
Dental Bridges
Dr. Alex Martin is committed to helping you regain a complete and functional smile. Dental bridges are a fantastic option for replacing missing teeth and improving your overall oral health. We offer a variety of bridge types to suit your specific needs and preferences:
- Traditional Bridges: This is the most common and versatile type. It consists of two or more dental crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side of the gap. These crowns act as anchors for a custom-made replacement tooth (or pontic) in between, effectively "bridging" the gap and restoring your smile.
- Cantilever Bridges: This option is ideal when there are healthy teeth on only one side of the missing tooth gap. A single crown is placed on the adjacent tooth, and the replacement tooth cantilevers (extends) out from that crown. While less common than traditional bridges, cantilever bridges can be a valuable option in some situations.
- Maryland Bridges: Also known as resin-bonded bridges, these offer a minimally invasive solution. Unlike traditional bridges that require full crowns, Maryland bridges use a metal framework bonded to the backs of the adjacent teeth for support. This makes them a good choice for patients who want to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: For the most stable and long-lasting solution, Dr. Martin offers implant-supported bridges. Dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as strong anchors for the bridge. This option provides exceptional support and mimics the natural function of a tooth root, promoting long-term oral health.
During your consultation with Dr. Martin, he will carefully assess your dental situation and recommend the best bridge type for you. Schedule an appointment today to discuss how dental bridges can restore your smile and improve your confidence!
