Doctor R.R. Williams on Dental Crowns and Bridges
Quite often what happens is we start getting fillings as a child and then as a young adult we’ll get another filling. Well, what happens is these fillings get so large and the fillings are almost larger than the tooth. The filling is only as strong as the strong tooth there to support it. What happens is, then we get another filling or then we get another cavity around an old filling, and then there’s not enough strong tooth to support that filling. A crown acts like a sleeve to go around a tooth to give it strength. I’ve heard it said it even acts kind of like a helmet for a tooth, it protects it and makes it strong. It comes around it and makes the tooth strong, whereas it didn’t have the walls to support it, now we can give the tooth walls to be strong. Dental crowns and bridges are a great option where, once they’re placed they don’t have to be taken in and out. That’s the beauty about crowns and bridges is they’re permanent. They’re cemented in permanently and you don’t have to take them out after you eat and go brush them. Dental crowns and bridges can do a dramatic thing for an individual. If you’ve had someone who’s had their front teeth that, they haven’t been proud of their front teeth, they haven’t had the confidence to smile, and then when you can take those teeth and cover them with crowns and to give them a bright, comfortable, smooth, pleasing smile, oh it changes how they feel about themselves. You see them walk differently. You see them start to … I had a fellow who shaved off his mustache, where he had had a mustache for years but he decided he didn’t want it because it might hide his front teeth, he was so proud of his front teeth. It changes the way they view themselves in a very positive way.

Restore Your Smile With Many Crowns & Bridges Options
Our very own Dr. R. Renan Williams is a part of the teaching faculty at the Center for Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry. Through his dental knowledge, skills, and expertise gained from over 30 years in practice, Dr. Williams designs custom smile solutions for our patients. Below are a few of the options we offer using dental crowns and dental bridges:
- Single Crowns For Tooth Repair – A single, beautiful crown fashioned from zirconia or porcelain will repair your damaged or diseased tooth. A crown fits securely over the top of the tooth to strengthen it and prevent further damage and pain. Dr. Williams will ensure that it blends in perfectly with your other teeth.
- Fixed Bridges – A bridge fills in gaps in your smile with natural-looking replacement teeth to make smiling, biting, chewing, and even talking easier. It anchors on either side to your existing teeth.
- Implant Crowns – Durable dental implants placed in your jaw provide a sturdy base for custom crowns to replace missing teeth. Plus, implants stimulate your jawbone and prevent bone loss that normally occurs when you lose teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – We can use two or more implants to anchor a bridge that will replace several missing teeth, helping you eat and smile again with ease. The implants will also help preserve your jawbone.
- Inlays – Custom inlays are usually made from porcelain or zirconia. They bond to your tooth between the cusps (tips) for repair that requires more than a filling but less than a complete crown.
- Onlays – Onlays are similar to inlays but extend over the sides of the tooth as well.
