What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that covers a tooth with a healthy root but is no longer structurally sound. If you live in the Las Vegas area, we can help if you suspect you need a dental crown.

Crowns are used when there is a crack in the tooth’s surface, or too much tooth is missing for a regular filling. Crowns completely cover the visible area of a tooth, creating a brand-new outer surface.

Crowns & Bridgework

What Are The Different Types of Dental Crowns?

There are three common types of crowns that we use in our Las Vegas offices:

• All-Porcelain Crowns: Natural-looking and metal-free but can chip.
• Gold Crowns: Very durable but less aesthetic, ideal for molars.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Blend strength and appearance but may show a black line when gums recede.

What Is The Dental Crown Process?

Each type of crown is placed basically the same way, and two visits are needed.

• First Visit: Dr. Paez takes an impression and fits a temporary crown while your permanent one is made.
• Second Visit: The permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented with a special curing light.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

If you have missing teeth, you increase the risk of further disease, decay, and shifting teeth. Dr. Paez can help restore your teeth and smile with dental bridges.

What Are The Different Types of Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a false tooth held in place between two crowns. Types include:

• Traditional Fixed Bridge: Anchored by crowns on both sides.
• Resin Bonded Bridge (Maryland Bridge): Minimal prep, uses metal bands and resin for front teeth.
• Cantilever Bridge: Attached on one side when only one adjacent tooth exists.
