Dental Crowns & Bridges Overview

Hello and welcome to the comprehensive guide on dental crowns and bridges with Perry S. Kest DDS, LLC. We know that a healthy, confident smile can make all the difference. You’ve come to the right place if you’re experiencing issues like damaged or missing teeth. We are here to help restore your smile and oral health with the highest-quality dental crowns and bridges carefully crafted by our dental experts in Southbury.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Let’s start with dental crowns. A dental crown is a cap for your tooth. It can restore a tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance after damage or sometimes after a root canal. Our dental crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth exact color and size, ensuring seamless integration with your existing dental structure.

Why Consider Dental Crowns?

You might wonder why dental crowns are a good option. Crowns are an excellent choice for enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. They strengthen weakened teeth, provide a protective cover, and are a wonderful long-term solution. Dental crowns can improve your bite and, consequently, your eating and speaking ability. Plus, they look as natural as your own teeth, allowing you to smile confidently, knowing your dental crown is just as reliable.

Understanding Dental Bridges

Now, let’s talk about dental bridges. Simply put, a teeth bridge is a device that fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored on either side by crowns and bonded permanently to your natural teeth or implants. Think of a bridge as a perfect solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring your smile, and maintaining the natural shape of your face.

How Do Dental Bridges Work?

Dental bridges replace missing teeth, securing them in place with the help of neighboring teeth or dental implants. They restore the appearance of your teeth and your ability to chew properly and speak clearly. With a dental bridge, you can prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which often occurs without adequate support.

Perry S. Kest DDS, LLC: Our Approach

Here at Perry S. Kest DDS, LLC, we pride ourselves on using the latest technology and employing a patient-first approach. We understand that considering crowns or bridges is a significant decision, and we’re here to provide you with all the information and support you need. Our Southbury dentists take the time to assess your situation carefully and discuss all your options with you. We ensure you’re informed and comfortable every step of the way.

The Crown & Bridge Procedure

Wondering what to expect during the procedure? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. The process starts with a comprehensive dental examination to determine the best course of action, including X-rays. For a dental crown, we prepare your tooth, take impressions, and fit you with a temporary crown while we craft your permanent one. Once ready, the permanent crowns or bridges are bonded securely in place.

Caring for your new crowns and bridges is simple. Brush and floss regularly, maintain good oral hygiene, and visit us for regular check-ups. Avoid hard or sticky foods that may compromise your new dental work. Remember, with the proper care, your crowns and bridges can last many years, providing a durable solution for a healthy smile.

In dentistry, Dr Kest, Dr Tomasi and team are the best of the best. Thank you.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kest and Dr. Tomasi for well over 30 years. The staff is friendly and the office is very nice and very clean. I’ve had lots of dental work there including crowns, veneers, and Invisalign. Dr. Tomasi is more recent in the office and she is extremely knowledgeable, caring , and gentle. I trust her judgment and care.

I’ve been a patient for more years than I can count! Always a pleasure coming to Dr.Kests office, from his office receptionists to dental hygienists… always kind and polite and they take the best care of you! Dr.Tomasi was our saving grace/angel who didn’t like the way my daughters canker sore looked and sent her to get another look… it was biopsies, and we found she had tongue cancer! Non smoker, and only 25 years old! They caught it quick enough where she is in remission and checked every 6 months by her surgeon! Amazing! I recommend Dr.Kest and Dr.Tomasi to everyone! 5 plus stars!
