The practice of dentistry has been around for thousands of years, and many of the earliest dental treatments and practices are still in use cosmetic dentistryin some form today, due to their enduring effectiveness. Dental crowns are an example of an early staple of dentistry that still works today (although they have evolved significantly in terms of materials and quality). Whether you need to completely replace a missing tooth or repair a damaged or decayed tooth, Dr. James Hutson, a dentist in Marietta, GA, recommends crowns and bridgework for an affordable and lasting option to fix your smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Marietta, GA

A crown (also known as a cap because it literally covers the tooth) can fix virtually every cosmetic problem including:

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Replace missing teeth as part of a bridge
  • Fortify a severely decayed tooth when a cavity is too large to treat with a standard dental filling
  • Fix the shape or size of a damaged tooth
  • Cover stained or discolored teeth

How Do Dental Bridges Work?

A dental bridge consists of three crowns that are designed to "bridge" the gap created in your smile by a missing tooth. The middle crown fills in the space of the missing tooth, and the crowns on either side of it are placed over the teeth (also known as abutment teeth) to secure the bridge in place. Crowns are custom designed to match the texture, shape and color of natural teeth, so your smile will look just as good (or better!) as it did before the damage or tooth loss.
