Because of our commitment to providing comprehensive dentistry to help patients enjoy healthy, attractive smiles, County Dental provides numerous restorative treatments, including dental crowns and bridges, for patients in Westchester, Rockland, and Orange County, New York and surrounding areas. Dental crowns and bridges are durable and attractive solutions for missing or badly damaged teeth. The straightforward, noninvasive placement process for crowns and bridges can be completed in a short time at any of our cosmetic dentistry practice locations, making these options a convenient choice for many patients.
County Dental frequently uses crowns at our Westchester, Rockland, and Orange County, New York-area practices to restore teeth that, while damaged, can function properly as long as their external surfaces are replaced. Made of tooth-colored porcelain or composite materials, dental crowns cover and protect cracked, chipped, broken, and badly discolored teeth and restore their shape, size, color, and functionality. Dental crowns can also be used to repair a tooth after root canal therapy or to anchor dental bridges.
Our dentists typically place dental crowns in two visits to our Westchester, Rockland, and Orange County, New York-area offices. During the first visit, the dentist determines the size and shape of the crown, often using a mold and pictures of the mouth, and sends this information to the dental laboratory that will craft the crown. When the crown is ready, usually in one to two weeks, the patient returns for the second visit to have the crown placed. The dentist carefully places the crown, bonds it to the tooth or implant, and adjusts it to fit the surrounding teeth and the patient’s bite. Once in place, dental crowns look and feel natural and can last for years with proper care. To learn more about how dental crowns can help restore your smile, contact our cosmetic dentists today.
Dental bridges, available at County Dental in Westchester, Rockland, and Orange County, New York and surrounding areas, anchor artificial teeth in the gaps left by missing teeth. Because leaving gaps unfilled can lead to shifting of the surrounding teeth, diminished chewing and speaking ability, and other problems, it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. Dental bridges can be an effective solution since they look and feel natural, improve chewing and speaking, ease stress on the bite, and support facial bone structure. They are relatively inexpensive, and the placement process is noninvasive, making dental bridges a popular choice for many Westchester, Rockland, and Orange County, New York-area patients at County Dental.
County Dental provides three types of dental bridges, each made of durable porcelain, gold, or composite materials. Fixed bridges are permanently attached to the surrounding teeth that have been prepared with dental crowns and can only be removed by a dentist. Removable bridges are attached to surrounding teeth with clasps or precision attachments, but can be taken out by the patient for cleaning. Implant bridges attach to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. For more information on what type of dental bridge may be appropriate for you, contact County Dental.
County Dental is pleased to provide some of the most advanced restorative dentistry treatments available.

You may not notice it but as years go by, the supporting ridges that remain after natural teeth have been removed gradually change and get smaller. In addition, a large change in weight can also change the shape of the mouth, causing changes in the fit of your dentures. In most cases, our dentists can realign or refit your dentures so that they conform to the changing ridge. It is also important for patients to have their dentures checked regularly by a dentist. If you have a question about your dentures, please contact County Dental today.
