Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges restore teeth with areas of decay - whether on the surface or rampant enough to warrant a tooth extraction. Your DMD or DDS in Naperville can bring back ideal function and structure to your smile with a bridge or a crown. These beautiful restorations reinforce your natural bite, giving you a confident smile to enjoy for years.

Crowns

A crown replaces decayed tooth enamel and structure that lies above the gum line. Nitu Singh, DMD (which is the same dental degree as DDS) in Napervine loves to use porcelain crowns, because they look exactly like a natural tooth. No longer will patients eventually discover a dark line of discoloration along the gum line. This happens with metallic or metal-lined crowns of the past. Porcelains used by our dental lab are incredibly strong and they withstand the necessary pressure required by teeth.

You'll love the look and feel of a beautiful porcelain crown. With it, you'll return your normal eating habits, without worrying about the longevity of your restoration. Call Dr. Singh to learn more about crowns!

Bridges

When you are missing a tooth because of decay, trauma or disease, the problems don't stop with the tooth's extraction. The surrounding teeth may drift, you can lose bone density and the stability of your bite. A conservative method of replacing the tooth is with a dental bridge. This tooth replacement is a surgery-free way to replace a tooth. It is held in place by surrounding crowns, and only extends to the gum line. Compare this option with a dental implant - which doesn't impact other teeth and gets its strength from having a root structure within the gums and jaw bone.
