Dental Crowns Silver Spring, MD

We provide four types of dental crowns, and crowns are a great choice when a tooth has sustained damage that a filling won’t fix. By having a dental crown, you can preserve most of your natural teeth while repairing the damaged areas. A dental crown placement requires two visits, and it is an affordable solution that lasts a long time. If you need a Silver Spring crown sooner rather than later, please contact our restorative dentist in Silver Spring, Dr. Chantal Bikoi, at Artistic Family Dentistry.

Dental Bridges

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you may need a dental bridge. Bridges, just like the name indicates, bridge the gap of missing teeth and restore your lovely smile. A dental bridge is a very affordable tooth replacement option, and you’ll be happy to know that most insurance companies will cover this service.

We offer a number of different types of dental bridges in Silver Spring, and Dr. Bikoi will discuss which one would work best for you. Dental bridge placement typically requires only two visits, and bridges are designed to last for many years. They restore function, health, and beauty to your mouth and smile. Dental bridges provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew with ease
  • Alleviating bite stress
  • Improving facial shape and appearance
  • Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
  • Preventing remaining natural teeth from shifting
  • Beautifying your smile

Inlays & Onlays

What are inlays and onlays, and how are the two different from each other? That’s a very common question. Most importantly, an inlay or onlay may be the best restorative solution for large cavities and advanced tooth decay.

The difference between an inlay and an onlay is the area of the tooth being restored. Inlays are designed to reduce the damage to the surface of your tooth and are used when there’s damage to the regions between the tooth cusps.

A significant difference between dental inlays and onlays is that an onlay will cover a larger area than an inlay. An onlay will cover the cusps of your tooth, while an inlay only covers the region between the cusps.

Simply put, onlays are applied to treat larger areas. Unlike inlays, onlays are used on the biting surface and can be extended to cusps across your tooth. Inlays and onlays are designed from ceramics, gold, or composite resins, providing excellent durability. Using an onlay is sometimes an alternative to a dental crown since this treatment helps to save more teeth than the dental crown.
