Frequently Asked Questions

crown

What are my options?
Crowns can be made from all porcelain-to-porcelain and metal to all metal.

  • All porcelain: this option gives the most natural look with no metal involved at all.
  • Porcelain and metal: this option is proven to be long lasting while still having the benefit of a natural appearance.
  • All metal: is most commonly used for the molars where function is the main issue.

Dr. Donahue will walk you through which option is best for you.


Bridge

What is the difference between a bridge and a removable partial?
Bridges are fixed in the mouth to fill in spaces of missing teeth. These allow for a more natural feeling for restoration of missing teeth without the maintenance of a removable partial.

Can I still eat all my favorite foods with a bridge?
The chewing surfaces are more natural than a partial and are as effective as natural teeth.
