Why Fix Broken or Missing Teeth?

Living with cracked, broken, or missing teeth can impact your life in many ways. Chewing can be painful, limiting your ability to eat all the foods you love. You may struggle to speak clearly or hold back a grin because you feel self-conscious about your smile’s appearance.

Damaged teeth also affect your oral health. Broken or missing teeth can lead to a range of oral health issues, including shifting of adjacent teeth and increased risk of decay and gum disease. Left untreated, these problems can worsen, potentially leading to more complex and costly dental issues.

But this doesn't have to be your story. Continue reading to see how a dental crown or bridge might benefit you.

A dental crown is a protective cap that strengthens a damaged or decayed tooth and restores its function and appearance. At Hite Family Dentistry, we fabricate crowns in-house from durable materials that mimic the look of natural teeth.

Our dentists may recommend a crown for numerous reasons:

• Protect a cracked or fractured tooth from further damage
• Restore a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
• Cover a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth left
• Improve the appearance of a misshapen or severely discolored tooth
• Anchor a dental bridge in place

After a thorough exam and consultation, our dentists will determine if a crown is the right solution for you. We believe in personalized care and will take the time to discuss all your options.

Understanding Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. Dental bridges are an excellent option if you are not a good dental implant candidate or prefer to avoid implant surgery. 

If you’re dealing with cracked, broken, or missing teeth, don’t wait a moment longer to restore your smile! At Hite Family Dentistry, our CEREC dental crowns and bridges offer a durable, natural-looking solution in just one appointment.
