If you’re experiencing functional problems with your tooth, or you’ve lost one or had it extracted, it may be uncomfortable to complete everyday activities like eating or even speaking. Damaged or decayed teeth often cause sensitivity and pain. Chips or cracks can make even the most confident person feel self-conscious. When a tooth is damaged, that doesn’t mean it needs to be extracted. If the tooth’s roots and interior are still healthy then the tooth is worth saving. We just may need to give it a new exterior. If you’ve got chipped teeth, cracked teeth, or broken teeth, we can make your smile whole and fully functional again with dental bridges and dental crowns in Jacksonville, FL.
At Riverside Dental our dentist and dental team are skilled in these restorative treatments and have the artistic eye to provide aesthetically attractive outcomes, as well as returning function to your tooth. Your new restoration, made from porcelain or ceramic materials, will blend seamlessly with your existing teeth and be strong enough to bite and chew foods comfortably once again.

When you lose a tooth, adjacent teeth may shift and cause misalignment or malocclusion (bad bite). A missing tooth in your lower jaw can cause a tooth in the upper jaw to shift down into that space, placing undue stress on your teeth and jaw joints, as well as pain and potential damage. Missing teeth can also cause decay in adjacent teeth, lead to bone loss and eventual facial changes as the jawbone collapses. A dental bridge is a natural-looking alternative to dental implants to replace one or two missing teeth. Most bridges are made of a pontic tooth (false tooth) in the center cemented to crowned surrounding (abutment) teeth on each side of the gap. Dr. Spencer prepares the abutment teeth in much the same way as a single crowned tooth and sends the impressions out to the dental lab to create the bridge. In addition to restoring oral function after tooth loss, a dental bridge in Jacksonville, FL eliminates unsightly gaps in your smile, prevents remaining teeth from shifting and associated issues such as malocclusion.
