CROWNS & BRIDGES

CROWNS FROM YOUR PORT COQUITLAM GENERAL DENTIST

A dental crown is a restorative cap that is placed around an existing tooth or dental implant and bonded. They are often used when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth, or when a tooth needs to be restored after it has been cracked or broken.

In order to prepare a crown for use, your Port Coquitlam dentist, Dr. Chahl, will need to take an impression from your mouth and use it to have the crown crafted. You will typically need to come back for another Oxford Family Dental appointment to have the crown bonded to your teeth.

Crowns are created to match the colour, shape, and size of your existing teeth for a flawless finish. The average lifespan of a crown is approximately 10 years, after which it will need to be replaced.

If you are in need of a dental crown, please contact your Port Coquitlam dental practice, Oxford Family Dental, today.

BRIDGES FROM YOUR PORT COQUITLAM GENERAL DENTIST

A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It is affixed to healthy teeth on either side of your missing teeth and provides a seamless continuation of your tooth line. A bridge is made out of composite resin. It is permanent and cannot be removed.

Before a bridge can be prepared for you, you must have a consultation with your Port Coquitlam general dentist. Together, you can discuss the best options for your oral health care from Oxford Family Dental. When it is selected as the best step forward for you, this is how a bridge is prepared:

Your dentist will file down the two healthy teeth on either side of your missing tooth or teeth. (If you don’t have healthy teeth to support a bridge, you may need dental implants, which is another procedure).

Your Port Coquitlam general dentist will make a model of your teeth by taking impressions. This is used to make the artificial teeth and two crowns as one piece (a bridge).

A temporary bridge will be placed in your mouth while the bridge is being made to protect your gumline. At your next visit, the temporary bridge will be removed and the custom bridge will be cemented to your healthy teeth.

For more information about the crowns and bridges offered or to arrange your appointment at our Port Coquitlam dental practice, please call (604) 942-1006 or contact us online!

From the start Dr. Chahal and the team took into consideration my high anxiety about coming to the dentist due to childhood traumas of past dentists treating me as just another "patient" But the entire team from Reception, Hygienist, Dental assistant and Dentist made me feel empowered to keep my Dental hygiene strong and wanting to up keep with my appointments. They see you as a person and make you feel welcome and comfortable always checking in on you while the appointment moves along. I couldn't recommend a better Dental practice and truly feel all his employees are passionate about every patient giving them the best service you could expect from what once scared me to go for cleanings. I now look forward because they have erased all fear from what others have done, they make me want to do my best with my dental hygiene and give me knowledge about the importance of what they do allowing me to be part of my dental health. Before I allowed fear to detour me from coming to the dentist, but now I am a strong believer in putting my dental hygiene in top priority as it plays a huge factor in our physical and mental health. If you have pain in your mouth it stops you from enjoying the food that nourishes our body which can lead to even more problems. So if you have had poor dental experiences in the past, fear to come in because you've put it off for so long or just want to experience what a dentist is suppose to truly be I recommend Oxford Family Dental for all ages and will continue recommending them to all my friends and family.
