Both our Dearborn Dentist & Brownstown Dental Clinic provide dental crowns and bridge consultations for patients. These procedures are extremely effective for restoring a tooth that has become infected, damaged, or has fallen out. We can complete these procedures in a way that looks natural while resolving oral health issues. This way, a patient can regain the functionality of their tooth without giving the appearance of any dental work.
A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. We typically use a crown to restore a damaged tooth, but they can also use it to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can consist of three different materials, all-metal, ceramic-on-metal and all-ceramic. The location of the crown in the teeth will determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth need to have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients may often use ceramic-on-metal crowns since they look natural but have the durability that only metal can provide.
A dental bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. At All Brite Dental, we provide clients with dental bridges if they want to replace a tooth without wearing dentures or undergoing surgery. The new tooth is held in place by two crowns. It looks natural and consists of a ceramic or porcelain material to match the surrounding teeth. As a cosmetic dentist, Zia Rafiq will make sure that the new tooth looks and feels amazing.
If you are getting dental crowns or a dental bridge for cosmetic reasons, we recommend that you whiten your teeth first. At All Brite Dental, we offer teeth whitening procedures that can improve the appearance of your smile quickly and easily. It is important to have this procedure done first because the material that crowns and bridges are made out of are both stain and bleach resistant. That means that if it is created to match yellow teeth, it will remain yellow even if you have your teeth whitened at a later date.
When you have the procedure done first, your new crown or bridge will be made to match your new brilliantly white teeth. When preparing for the procedure, we recommend that patients take a day off of work. If possible, you may want to take a couple of days off. It is normal for teeth to be somewhat sensitive, and it is easier if you don’t have to worry about meeting clients and keeping up with your busy schedule.
When getting dental crowns and dental bridges installed, it is advisable that you work with a cosmetic dentist that knows how to complete the procedure in a way that looks natural. At All Brite Dental, we can do so while also working to keep our patients as comfortable as possible by using sedation dentistry. The process for both procedures is fairly similar. Before getting started, an impression is taken of the teeth so that the new crown or bridge can be created in a dental lab.
When placing a dental crown around a tooth, All Brite Dental starts by preparing the tooth. We will need to remove a portion of the enamel so that there is room for the new crown to surround the tooth without pushing other teeth out of place. Once complete, we will clean the tooth and secure a temporary crown to it using removable glue. Patients typically wear a temporary crown for around two weeks while waiting for a permanent one to be created in the lab. During this time, it is important to be careful with what you eat and how you brush your teeth since the temporary is designed to come off.
When the dental restoratives are complete, patients return to our office, so that we can remove the temporaries and bond the permanent ones to the tooth. For a dental crown, we will secure the cap around the tooth and complete it through dental bonding. With a bridge, a crown is placed on the two teeth that are surrounding the missing one. On top of the crown is a piece that looks like natural gums that will hold the new tooth in place. These two crowns serve as anchors for this synthetic “bridge” and makes a new tooth as durable as it can be. Patients depend on this procedure as a way to replace missing teeth in a way that looks natural and restores the functionality of the missing tooth.
When getting dental Restoratives, your teeth will be somewhat sensitive after they have been prepared. This is why you need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for a permanent one to be created. We use sedation dentistry to ensure that you will not experience any discomfort during the procedure and after the fact you simply need to take some oral pain medication for a couple of days until you feel better.
The benefit of wearing a crown is that it surrounds and protects the tooth. This means that regardless of how damaged the tooth was, you can eat your favorite foods without fear of discomfort. A crown can restore the functionality of your mouth by making it easy to eat, drink and speak like normal. This is ideal for people that are suffering from severely sensitive teeth, have a cracked or chipped tooth or have undergone a root canal. Similarly, a bridge makes it possible to eat and speak like normal without worrying about your new tooth becoming loose or falling out. They are both ideal for people that have active lifestyles and don’t want to be constrained by their teeth.

yolanda rayfordI love All Brite Dental. The hygienists are absolutely awesome and I've never had such a great cleaning. I have had issues with my gums and they have been life savers. It is difficult to get later and weekend appointments with work schedules, but they are always willing to put you on a waiting list and call me when something becomes available. Great customer service.
Jillian Vander PloegPrompt, professional, kind employees. Good dentist for the entire family. Dr Rafiq might be little in stature but she's a caring attentive dentist.
Steve MakowskiI had to find another dentist a few years back now, I was very concern about moving because I had been with my old dentist for over 20 years. To my wonderful surprise Dr Rafiq was so nice as well as very good . I felt comfortable from the beginning with her and the staff. Everyone is pleasant and very professional, I am truly happy with my decision to reach out to All Bright Dental.
judy logsdonGreat experience from the staff to the providers
ShashankGreat dentist
U ConI hadn't been to a dentist in over 10 years, so I was a little nervous. However, the staff were and continue to be very professional, as well as careful. Nothing was rushed and The exams were almost painless. Pretty good after a 10 year absence, especially since I rarely brushed, never flossed, and drank nothing but coke and pepsi.
Rooks_Realty Luxury LivingGreat place and the people there really take good care of their patients.
