Oftentimes patients will come in for their routine cleanings and exams and we’ll look at their teeth and there’ll be a back molar that maybe has a really large silver filling in it and the tooth is starting to crack or break down or maybe even a patient comes in for an emergency visit because part of their tooth has broken and at that point a filling unfortunately maybe isn’t going to be suitable in order to restore that tooth completely and we have to talk about covering the tooth and protecting it completely with a crown. One of the things that’s really beneficial about our office is that we’re able to do that entire procedure here in one visit and a patient’s able to come in get the tooth cleaned up and work done and leave with that permanent restoration in the same visit and those crowns and bridges are awesome ways for patients to restore form function and to protect a tooth long term and give it a lot more life than if we were to try to continually patch it with fillings over time.
Restore Your Smile’s Beauty & Function
Even when you are extra careful, things happen to your teeth that require the help of an expert. Dr. Menard has transformed the smiles of countless patients with his advanced skills. Plus, your crowns, inlays, and onlays are made in-house with our CEREC system. That means you won’t have to wear a temporary restoration and return later for your replacement tooth!
Depending on your unique smile needs, Dr. Menard may recommend:
- Dental Crown – We’ll repair teeth damaged by decay or injury with a natural-looking zirconia crown.
- Implant-Supported Crown – We can pair a crown with an implant to replace a single tooth.
- Inlays or Onlays – These partial crowns fix damage that is too large for a filling but not serious enough for a crown.
- Standard Dental Bridge – A bridge can close the gap left by one or several missing teeth in a row.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Anchor your bridge to implants so it functions like natural teeth. An implant bridge also eliminates the need to alter healthy teeth.
- Implant Dentures – This innovative solution replaces a full arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw.
