Looking for dental crowns or a dental bridge in Winchester, VA? Dr. Radwa Sobieh provides both at Winchester Dental Studio.
A crown repairs a tooth you still have. A bridge replaces a tooth you’ve lost. This page explains the difference so you know which one you might need.
A crown caps the visible part of a broken or decayed tooth, restoring its strength and protecting it from further damage. Our Winchester team also uses crowns to finish dental implants and root canal therapy. A traditional crown takes two appointments. At the first, we prepare the tooth, take impressions and place a temporary crown. When your final crown arrives, Dr. Radwa Sobieh places it and checks that the look and feel are right.
Are you missing one or more teeth in a row? For patients who can’t afford dental implants or simply aren’t the right candidates for the procedure, dental bridges offer a similar sturdy, lifelike result. A bridge is designed to seamlessly blend in with natural teeth, and additional crowns fit over nearby healthy teeth, anchoring it in place. The prosthetic is not removable and should be cared for in the same way as the rest of your smile. Like dental crowns, bridges also typically require two appointments to receive. Patients from Winchester and beyond are welcome to contact us today and schedule an appointment!
Often ten years or more. Brushing, flossing under the bridge with a floss threader and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth all help them last.
Older crowns often have a metal layer that shows as a dark line when the gum pulls back. Dark or purple gum can also mean gum inflammation around the crown. If it bothers you, an all-ceramic crown has no metal to show through. Have us check it at your next visit.
The tooth is numbed while we shape it, so most people feel pressure, not pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days after is common.
Our dental services combine modern dental technology with gentle, personal care. Whether you need a routine checkup, emergency care, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, dental implants, root canal treatment or sedation, our team takes time to listen and explain your options, so you feel comfortable at every visit.
