Dental Crowns, Bridges & Root Canals | Dr. Effie Yao DDS
Dental Crowns in Lake Mary, FL
Many people simply learn to live with missing and unhealthy teeth, but this will only cause bigger problems in time. The pain and discomfort caused by missing and unhealthy teeth often forces people to eat softer, less nutritious foods, and sometimes to avoid eating altogether. This leads to malnutrition, which leads to a host of other health problems, including more tooth decay. When it’s time to add strength back to your teeth, choose dental crowns. In Lake Mary, FL, Dr. Effie Yao is the leading resource for long-lasting crowns.
Dental crowns and bridges are appliances that restore damaged or missing teeth. These fixed, permanent restorations are bonded to the tooth or attached to a dental implant. Lake Mary dentist, Dr. Yao, offers beautiful, high-quality crowns and bridges to restore your mouth’s function and appearance.

The Purpose of Dental Bridges
Are you missing one or more teeth? If so, then tooth replacement should be next on your list of dental work. Failing to replace missing teeth leads to a number of negative consequences. From bone loss to gum infection, and even overall bite shifting, fixing this issue in a timely manner can be incredibly important.
A dental bridge (also called a fixed partial denture) is a fixed appliance that fills gaps left by missing teeth. The standard bridge has two components: two crowns capped over teeth on either side of the space (abutment teeth) and another crown in the middle (pontic). Sometimes, the abutment teeth are placed only on one side of the gap. The device features one or more artificial teeth, restoring the natural shape and structure of your smile.

Root Canals in Lake Mary, FL
A tooth that has become so severely decayed that the soft pulp at the center is infected can still be saved with a root canal from Dr. Effie Yao DDS. For this dental procedure, we will remove the infected material from the center of your tooth. We will then treat the remaining tooth with antibacterials to ensure the infection does not return or spread. The hollowed root canals will be filled with a bacteria-resistant resin to further protect the health of your tooth. The top of your tooth will be replaced with a dental crown to restore full function to the once weakened tooth.
