Fillings, Crowns and Bridges in Omro

What Is a Tooth Filling?

Fillings are typically used to fill cavities, which are holes in teeth caused by decay or injuries. The dentists at Omro Dentistry will work with you to determine the best approach in providing you with the fillings you need. We offer affordable options for your tooth filling as well as tooth-colored filling materials that can help you feel more confident in showing off your smile to those you meet.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns are often recommended for severely damaged or broken teeth. These dental caps fit snugly over the tooth to provide a solid surface for biting, chewing and other activities. Your tooth crown is designed to provide added protection against breaking or crumbling for teeth that have been damaged through accidents or by tooth decay.

What Is a Tooth Bridge?

A dental bridge is an appliance that fits into gaps left by missing teeth and replaces them with artificial teeth. Your tooth bridge will be customized specifically to match your other teeth and to provide a solid and reliable replacement for missing teeth. Our dental team will work with you to determine the best type of bridge for your needs and to ensure that you are happy with the end result.

How Much Will My Filling, Bridge or Crown Cost?

• In most cases, the cost of your dental appliance will depend on the materials used and the type of dental treatment you require:
• The tooth filling cost is usually based on the material chosen for the filling. Tooth-colored or gold alloy fillings are generally more expensive than comparable silver amalgam fillings.
• As with fillings, the dental crown cost is usually dependent on the type of material chosen to construct your crown. Our dentists will discuss your options and will help you to select a material that is suitable for your needs and your budget.
• Finally, your dental bridge cost will vary depending on the type of bridge you choose, the position of the missing teeth and the number of teeth to be replaced.

The dental staff at Omro Dentistry will do their best to ensure that you receive practical and appropriate recommendations for dental appliances to enhance your appearance and improve your bite.

What Materials Are Used for Fillings?

The most common materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, composite or silver amalgam. Your dentist will help you select the right option for your needs based on aesthetics, durability and cost.

What Types of Crowns Are Available?

Because they serve as a protective covering for damaged teeth, crowns are usually constructed of durable and strong materials. Gold, ceramic and porcelain fused to metal are among the most common types of crowns offered by the dentists at Omro Dentistry.

What Are the Different Types of Bridges?

Our dental team can provide you with traditional and cantilever bridges that are secured to one or more adjacent teeth. We will discuss the appropriate solution for your missing teeth and will help you to find the right option for your needs and your budget.

The Tooth Crown and Bridge Application Process

While fillings can often be placed within a single appointment in our office, we require at least two appointments for bridges and crowns.

During your first appointment, we will examine your teeth and take impressions to make sure that all measurements for your new dental appliance are precise and correct. We will also shape the teeth to receive a crown, including the teeth adjacent to the bridge. This will allow us to ensure that your crowns and bridges fit perfectly once they have been fabricated and arrive in our office. Your bridge or crown will be placed during a subsequent appointment in our office.
