Fix Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges
How Crowns and Dental Bridges Work
If you’re concerned about chipped teeth or large gaps between your teeth, our experts at The Dental Studio in Midland can restore your smile with crowns and bridges. Dental crowns and dental bridges provide both functional and cosmetic benefits because they not only restore the appearance of the tooth but can also restore your bite. Crowns and bridges are fabricated from high-quality materials, such as porcelain, and are affixed to the existing tooth structure. Results are permanent and these restorations are designed and shaded to look like your real teeth.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns in Midland, TX, are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged due to decay or trauma. A crown (also referred to as a cap) is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. Dental crowns not only strengthen teeth, but can dramatically improve their appearance, shape, and alignment.
Dental Bridges
Teeth use their neighboring teeth for support and if one tooth is missing, the remaining teeth begin to “fall” and shift into the open spaces, causing changes in the bite that can eventually result in problems with the teeth and jaw. Dental bridges, sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, are an ideal method to fill the space created by missing teeth. A bridge is made up of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) attached between two dental crowns and cemented into place using the teeth on either side of the space for support.
Laser Crown Lengthening
The goal of crown lengthening procedures is to expose more of the tooth structure by removing a small amount of gum tissue around the upper part of the tooth. We can now do this easily with a dental laser that cuts away soft tissue with a high degree of accuracy and precision. The Dental Studio of Midland is equipped with the latest dental technologies and advanced lasers to provide patients with cutting edge treatments. Our team of experts have extensive experience using the latest laser technologies for gummy smile treatment and can create a custom crown lengthening treatment plan based on your goals.
