Do you know the difference between these two dental prosthetics? Dr. Galatro offers this dental treatment in his Fredericksburg Dental Associates office.They are great ways to protect and preserve smiles damaged by decay, gum diseaseand tooth loss. Read here about these common restorative treatments and their outstanding results.
The answer is no, because nothing looks, feels or functions quite like a natural tooth. Plus, when you lose a tooth, your jaw bone and gum tissue naturally begin to recede. The more teeth you lose, the more aged your facial appearance becomes, and the harder it is to bite and chew properly. In other words, keep your own teeth as long as possible.
After root canal therapy, a removal of extensive decay, or oral trauma (tooth fracture), a beautiful dental crown fromFredericksburg Dental Associates may be just what you need to protect and beautify your tooth. Usually, crowns are made of precious metals, such as gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. They cover teeth from the gum line to the very top.
You'll find your dental crown feels natural and looks great. Just care for it as you would your other teeth, brushing and flossing daily and coming to Fredericksburg Dental Associatesfor your check-up and professional cleaning. It should last you ten years or more!
If you have lost one or more adjoining teeth, don't despair, at FredericksburgDental Associates, we can fill that gap with fixed bridgework. Bridges are comprised of artificial teeth, or pontics, attached to neighboring natural teeth (abutments) via dental crowns. As with the crown procedure, we do a comprehensive oral exam and takes impressions. The treatment plan tells the lab precisely how to make the bridgework.
Because the appliance involves crowns, the dentist prepares the abutment teeth by removing some enamel. This process ensures the bridgework will be properly supported and stay in place for its expected lifespan of ten years according to theCleveland Clinic. Expect a great smile

I had the most amazing dental experience here. I switched to FDA after a terrible experience at another practice. I had to have a root canal...my first...and I was actually disappointed when it was over because I was so relaxed I had fallen asleep. These people are fantastic. Can't recommend them enough!

If you are not a big fan of going to the dentist then go see Dr. Galatro. Everyone there is friendly and caring. They take time to explain everything and answer questions and you won't feel like you are being sold a used car. The best part is they work fast, by the time you realize what is happening they are finished and you don't have time to stress about the procedure. They have a real knack of taking your mind off of the situation and before you know it, you are on your way home. I went to three other dentists before finding Dr Galatro and what others said would be a long painful road turned out to be a few appointments and no pain for most of the procedures and now I am finished. Seriously, check them out, they don't have TV's at the chair because you are not there for hours and they have great people skills and they talk to you. Great job, thanks!

I highly recommend coming here if they take your insurance if not they also offer pretty reasonable prices and different financing options. I will absolutely be going again I already have my next appointment booked. Have a great day.
