Crowns & Bridges
Restore function and aesthetics with custom restorations
Strong, Natural-Looking Restorations
Crowns cap and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, using adjacent teeth as anchors.
Both crowns and bridges are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function, providing a seamless and durable restoration.
- Restore damaged or missing teeth
- Custom-crafted to match your natural teeth
- Improve chewing ability and speech
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
Types of Crowns & Bridges
Porcelain Crowns
All-porcelain crowns provide the most natural appearance, ideal for front teeth. They match the translucency and color of natural enamel.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal
Combines the strength of a metal base with the aesthetics of porcelain. Ideal for areas requiring extra durability.
All-Ceramic Crowns
Made from advanced ceramic materials offering superior strength and the most natural-looking aesthetics without metal.
Traditional Bridges
A pontic (false tooth) is held in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth. Restores chewing function and prevents shifting.
Implant-Supported Bridges
A bridge secured by dental implants rather than adjacent teeth. Offers superior stability and preserves healthy tooth structure.
Your Restoration Journey
Consultation
We examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of crown or bridge for your specific situation.
Preparation
The tooth is gently shaped to accommodate the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared as anchors. Impressions are taken.
Temporary Restoration
A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth while your permanent restoration is being custom-crafted in the lab.
Final Placement
Your custom crown or bridge is bonded into place. We check the fit, bite, and appearance, making any final adjustments needed.
Common Questions About Crowns & Bridges
With proper care, crowns typically last 10-15 years and bridges can last 10-20 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups are essential.
We use local anesthesia during preparation, so you won't feel pain. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, which is temporary.
Brush and floss normally, paying extra attention to the area where the crown meets the gumline. A bridge requires special flossing underneath the pontic.
Costs vary based on material and the number of units needed. We accept insurance and offer financing options. Schedule a consultation for a personalized quote.
