]]> Are you ready to kick off the fall season with a spectacular smile? Enjoy the harvest season with a beautiful smile courtesy of dental crowns. With dental crowns, you can cover up problematic teeth that fail to live up to their aesthetic potential, as well as protect them from future damage that can arise, including from threats such as dental erosion and cavities. If you need dental crowns, consider the following:

– Dental crowns are an amazing choice when other cosmetic options may not be possible.
– Dental crowns can conceal and protect teeth that are damaged.
– Typically, a dental crown can last up to two decades, but it is possible if they are taken care of adequately, they can last an entire lifetime.
– Many other cosmetic dentistry treatments can be held or covered by dental crowns, including implants, bridges, and root canals.
– In some cases, a dental filling may need to be placed in a tooth to fix a cavity, but there may not be enough tooth remaining. In those situations, dental crowns can be used to cover the tooth for additional support.
– If you have any teeth that are cracked or broken, the bits of the tooth can be saved and bound together with dental crowns.

If you would like to experience the life-changing transformation that dental crowns can provide, please stop by MI Roots Family Dental for an oral exam from Dr. Joseph Szymczak and our team at our amazing dentist facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

]]> If you recently made the decision to have a dental bridge placed in your mouth, you may be wondering what your options are. Our team is going to give you a brief look at the three different types of dental bridges that are used by dentists today.

Traditional

Traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the gap and placing a false tooth or teeth between the crowns. Often times these crowns are called caps and can be supported by your natural teeth or by implants. The replacement teeth are attached to the crowns, which ultimately bridge the gap by filling the empty space.

Cantilever

This type of bridge is held in the mouth by one or more crowns on only one side of the space where teeth are missing. This dental bridge isn’t very common and is not recommended for the back teeth because the pressure and force can damage them or other teeth.

Maryland bonded

A Maryland bonded bridge, also called a resin-bonded or acid-etched bridge, consists of a metal or porcelain framework with wings on each side. These wings are bonded to the back of your existing teeth. The replacement or false tooth/teeth are also bonded to the metal framework.

Don’t let your smile suffer another day; please give our office a call today at 616-453-0002 to schedule an appointment or to speak with one of our staff members.
