The leaves are turning and fall is here. That means Thanksgiving and Christmas must be just around the corner.

If you have broken or missing teeth, then Dr. Doug Clark, Jr. and Dr. Doug Clark, III at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who can give you a new smile with crown and bridge therapy.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also called a dental cap, encases an existing tooth that has been damaged. The crown preserves the functionality of the tooth and prevents further damage from happening to the tooth. Crowns are designed to look like your own teeth, so your smile will be beautiful and always look natural. These restorative wonders are the choice of many patients and dentists for cracked or otherwise fractured teeth; to protect a tooth that has had a root canal; and to secure a fixed bridge in place.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Usually, bridges require that teeth on either side of the missing tooth be reshaped to accommodate a crown. Dr. Clark or Dr. Clark will carefully examine these teeth to make sure they are healthy and sturdy enough to anchor a bridge. Once this determination is made and once the crowns are in position, they will support the bridge that holds the artificial tooth, called a pontic, in place of the missing tooth. Bridges are used to replace one missing tooth or a row of teeth.
Dr. Clark and Dr. Clark at Hill Avenue Dental are the dentists in Superior, WI, who have the expertise to repair damaged and missing teeth with crowns and bridges, so your smile is the most attractive one you can have for the holiday season.
