Dental Crowns and Bridges in Fort Wayne, IN

Are you looking for tooth repair or restoration in Fort Wayne? Cracking or breaking a tooth is a very common occurrence. Cracks in the teeth can be caused by anything from chewing hard foods to exposing the teeth to extreme temperatures. A habit of grinding your teeth may also be the culprit, but most of the time, underlying decay is to blame. At Ellinwood Dental Care, Dr. Chase Ellinwood has the perfect solution: custom dental crowns and dental bridges.

A severely broken or decayed tooth can't be repaired with a simple filling. If you have significant tooth damage or feel a rough area with your tongue, don't ignore it! Issues such as these can lead to serious dental problems down the road, not to mention interfere with your beautiful smile.

What is a Dental Crown?

dental technology used to craft custom dental crowns at Ellinwood Dental Care in Fort Wayne, INDental crowns may be used to:

  • Cover a broken or cracked tooth
  • Prevent a weakened tooth from breaking apart even further
  • Reshape a chipped or damaged tooth
  • Cover up significant aesthetic concerns
  • “Cap” a tooth recently treated with a root canal

These unique restorations cover and protect your tooth, preventing further damage from occurring. Dr. Chase's work is so precise, your crown will fit perfectly at the base of your gum line, so it feels as comfortable as possible.

Crowns are made entirely of porcelain - a great choice since it’s strong and long-lasting. Not only that, it's much more natural looking than old-fashioned metal fillings. In fact, we even offer custom shading services so your new restorations will match the color of your natural teeth perfectly. Our patients love this service because their crown rarely ever has to be touched up or remade.

Bridging the Gap to a New Smile

If left unchecked, the position of your teeth may slowly change over time, causing discomfort or even serious problems such as gum disease. In this case, Dr. Chase may recommend a bridge that will span the open space left behind.

Like our crowns, each of our dental bridges at Ellinwood Dental Care is entirely made of high quality, custom matched porcelain, giving you back a natural, dazzling smile!

What are the Benefits of Dental Restorations?

A bridge can help alleviate problems you experience chewing and speaking following the loss of your tooth or teeth. It will also help prevent added stress on your jaw, which can lead to TMJ and other difficulties. Depending on the number of teeth that are missing, dental crowns and dental bridges can also be placed over dental implants.

Caring for Your Restoration

A great feature of crowns and bridges is that they can be cared for just like the rest of your natural teeth. Proper brushing and flossing are all you need to take care of your new pearly whites. Don't forget to be careful around hard or frozen foods, though — the same things that broke your tooth can break a crown, too!
