Revitalize Your Smile: Introducing Bridges and Crowns

Missing or severely damaged teeth can significantly hamper daily life, from hindering the ability to chew to affecting one’s confidence in their appearance. Caused by factors like disease or injury, such issues necessitate effective solutions. Bridges and crowns offer that remedy, meticulously cemented onto existing teeth or implants, with occasional touch-ups ensuring their longevity.

Bridging the Gap: Comprehensive Solutions for Missing Teeth

When teeth are absent, the void can affect bite alignment due to adjacent teeth shifting. Bridges, anchored by crowns on “abutment” teeth, fill this void. With materials ranging from porcelain for a natural look to metals for durability, the choice is based on the gap’s location. Bridges come in three varieties:

  • Fixed Partial Dentures: Fused to metal frames and anchored to abutments, they support the chewing pressure, especially when multiple teeth are replaced.

  • Cantilever Bridges: Anchored at one end, they spare healthy teeth from becoming abutments. Ideal for front teeth, they do carry a higher failure risk due to limited support.

  • Resin-Bonded Bridges: Eschewing crowns, these utilize a metal strip bonded to teeth with a resin adhesive, demanding regular checks to ensure the bond remains intact.

Choosing between these solutions can be a meticulous decision. With our guidance, you’ll be equipped to select the solution best suited for your needs, ensuring a restored smile and optimal oral health.

The Crown Solution: Restoring Tooth Function and Appearance

Understand how dental crowns act as a protective “cap”, addressing a range of dental concerns to reinstate the tooth’s form and function.

Purpose of Crowns

From fixing cracked teeth and holding together fragile teeth, to covering dental implants and unsightly discolorations, crowns serve multifaceted purposes.

Tailored to Perfection

Each crown is crafted to replicate your natural tooth’s shape, ensuring an indistinguishable and seamless fit.

Temporary Solutions

While awaiting the final crown, a provisional one safeguards the tooth, ensuring function and comfort.

Would definitely recommend Dr Kupetz to anyone looking for a new dentist! Called late at night for an emergency appointment and he was able to get me in to his office quickly. Dr. K and his staff were very compassionate and understanding. He’s the best!

I went to Dr. Kupetz today, I was in extreme pain. I had a hot tooth, my back right molar, I was loosing my mind it had hurt so bad. I couldn’t sleep for days and it was so infected that my other dentist couldn’t numb it. Scott took his time, made sure it was numb, and actually let me sleep on his chair for a good 30 minutes considering I had been up for nearly 3 days straight. He was attentive, told me stories that made the time pass by, and I was out of there with the first part done in a couple hours. It was really expensive unfortunately, but that’s the insurance industry in the US. We’ll worth every penny. Thank you, sir! Much appreciated.

THIS IN MY OPINION IS ONE OF THE BEST DENTISTS YOU WILL EVER NEED. I EXPERIENCED A VERY PAINFULL TOOTH ACHE THIS PAST WEEKEND AND THIS DOCTOR CALLED ME BACK IN 1 MINUTE ON A SUNDAY AFTER HEARING FROM HIS ANSWERING SERVICE NOTIFICATION. I'M NOT A LOVER OF DENTISTS DUE TO PAIN BUT I HAVE NO SECOND GUESSING RETURNING TO HIS PRACTICE. EXPALINED EVERYTHIG HE WAS GOING TO DO AND ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION I ASKED. NOT ONE OUNCE OF PAIN DI I FEEL. MY WIFE AND I ARE NOW FULL TIME CLIENTS. BEST OF ALL I LEFT PAIN FREE.

I was in excruciating pain on a holiday weekend. I took a trip to the ER and had no help. I called around looking for any dentist to see me on a Sunday. Dr. Kupetz made a special trip to the office to see me. Even though I wasn’t a client of his. This man saved me! There was no way I could manage that pain until after the holiday. He was very kind and professional. I enjoyed talking with him as well. His entire facility is the cleanest and most update to date dentist office I’ve ever seen. I ended up needed a root canal and had an abscess. The way that he numbs you, I promise you don’t feel a thing! For such a dreaded and uncomfortable procedure, he made the whole process bearable and truly works with you. I would honestly 100% recommend Dr. Kupetz. I’m very pleased over all with everything he had done for me.

Had the most amazing experience with Dr. Scott and his dental assistant. I came in for an emergency root canal and I have never experienced such amazing and comforting care at a dental office. Dr. Scott and his assistant have AMAZING bedside manner, which eased my uncomfortable feelings immediately. They are also very transparent (which is a major bonus if you have a fear of the dentist). Dr. Scott and his very knowledgeable dental assistant made sure I was comfortable and at ease during the entire procedure. Dr. Scott and his assistant even came in on a Sunday when I expressed I was in excruciating pain! You can tell Dr. Scott and his team really enjoy and care about what they do. Even though emergency dental work isn't covered by my insurance, the pricing is very reasonable for the extensive work he does. I also work very odd hours, so Dr. Scott and his team were able to do a 3 appointment root canal in one visit! Safe to say I found a new dentist! I would give Dr. Scott and his assistant 6 stars if I could!

When you have been in dentistry for as long as I have, walking into an office with an emergency can be difficult . Not because of the lack of trust but because of having knowledge of how an emergency exam can save you or even make your situation worst, I have first hand seen both. Friday night I had a dental emergency. I was in excruciating pain, and after calling about 18 different offices I just began to cry. The last number I dialed lead me to an answering service and I really didn’t want to leave another message but I did. Not even 2 minutes later Dr. Scott called me spoke with me about my issues ( 3 broken teeth (loads of pain) and offered me an appointment the following morning. I was relieved and looking forward to the visit. Well that visit didn’t happen, because of reasons with me and not the office. However Dr. Scott excepted the excuse for my absence and re-scheduled me again at my convenience. Here is the good stuff: Once arriving at the office I was impressed immediately at how clean, organized and welcoming his front desk was, she was helping another patient and still managed to turn her attention to me. She gave me a warm smile and asked politely for a moment. Once she was done she quickly had me in the chair. I was in so much discomfort and I was not looking forward to the X-ray I knew I would have to open up for. Once the dental assistant came in she began taking the X-rays she was so gentian and patient with me while also being personable and easy going that I completely forgot about my fear. They worked so quickly and swiftly all the while educating me on every single thing that was being performed. Then Dr. Kupetz came into my exam room, let me just say, I have worked for about 6 different dentist and none of them gave me the vibe that he did. He seemed to be so concerned about my discomfort and trying to figure out the best possible solution to help me. Not only did he write up my treatment plan, but when given to his employee to break it down to me ( she did an amazing job) I had a couple more questions that she felt the doctor would be more suitable to answer. He came in with no issue and answer every single question I had for him and some. We got into the restoration and he went over and beyond for me, if he didn’t have all tools in my mouth I would have had a open jaw of shock at the amount of things he did in the time I was there. I would definitely give him 6 stars out of 5 . I will recommend his office to anyone with an emergency, with a fear of dentist and just as a routine dentist. Coming from the business stand point I feel the exact same way , DONT tell my past employers but he gave them a run for their money lol! Thank you Dr. Kupetz and your whole team! You don’t understand the comfort you gave to my family and, who were so concerned about me weeping like at baby . My entire family will be seeing you soon!t!
