Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are two common dental procedures. A crown is used to cover a tooth that is damaged or decayed, while a bridge is used to replace a missing tooth.

at Maitland Dental Care, we construct natural looking, ceramic crowns using CEREC

technology. Bridges, on the other hand, are made with the help of our local dental laboratory. They are made from either porcelain fused to metal, zirconia or ceramic and are used to provide a prosthetic tooth. They are fixed, meaning they are a permanent inclusion in your mouth once they have been cemented in.

Our bridges, on the other hand, are made with zirconia, and are used to secure a prosthetic tooth or teeth. They are fixed, meaning they are a permanent inclusion in your mouth. Bridges are more durable than other restorative materials used in the dental industry.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing natural teeth. Implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with bone to form a stable foundation.

At Maitland Dental Care, we restore dental implants that can be an effective solution for a missing tooth. Once the implant is inserted by an oral maxillofacial surgeon it takes a few months to fuse with the bone. After that, we can restore the implant in a variety of ways, such as crowns, bridges (including All-on-4) or over-dentures, to resolve problems with missing teeth.

How long should dental implants last for?

Dental implants are typically made of titanium, which is a strong and durable metal that can last for many years. In fact, with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, it is important to keep in mind that each person's mouth is different and some people may experience more wear and tear on their implants than others. That’s why it’s important to schedule regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure your implants are secure and are unlikely to damage surrounding teeth.
