What Are Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges?
Dental crowns are custom restorations that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, often used when decay, large fillings, or structural damage require more support than a standard treatment. Dental bridges are restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth, with a tooth bridge filling the gap by anchoring to adjacent teeth or supporting structures.
As part of restorative dentistry, both dental crowns and dental bridges help restore function, protect teeth, and improve overall smile appearance.
When Might You Need a Crown or Bridge?
Crowns and bridges are recommended when teeth need added support, protection, or replacement beyond simpler treatments.
Benefits of Restorative Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges do more than repair a tooth. They help restore comfort, protect your oral health, and improve your confidence in your smile.
What Happens During Crown or Bridge Treatment?
We want your treatment experience to feel clear, comfortable, and easy to understand. While the process varies depending on whether you need a crown or bridge, treatment generally includes the following steps:
Your visit begins with an exam to evaluate the tooth or teeth involved and determine whether a crown or bridge is the right solution.
For a crown, the affected tooth is carefully prepared so the restoration can fit securely and comfortably. If a bridge is planned, the supporting teeth may also need preparation.
We take impressions or digital records to help create a restoration that fits your bite and looks natural.
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, it is placed and checked for fit, function, and appearance.
We make any needed refinements to ensure your bite feels comfortable and your restoration functions properly.
Our goal is to provide comfortable, high-quality restorative care that helps you feel confident throughout the process.
