Crown & Bridges
What are Crowns & Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are fixed restorations used to repair damaged or missing teeth. Crowns completely cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance, while bridges are used to replace missing teeth by spanning the gap with a natural-looking pontic.
Both crowns and bridges are secured to the surrounding teeth or dental implants, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to maintain a healthy, functional smile.
What are the Key Benefits of Crowns & Bridges?
Restore functionality
Crowns strengthen damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Prevent misalignment
Bridges help prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth to preserve your bite and overall oral health.
Improve aesthetic appearance
Both crowns and bridges are designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth to ensure a beautiful and uniform smile.
Protect weakened teeth
Crowns provide much-needed protection for teeth that are fragile or have undergone treatments like root canals.
Long-lasting solution
Crowns and bridges are durable and designed for incredibly long-lasting use, offering a reliable solution for tooth restoration.

The Treatment Process: Crowns and Bridges
Consultation and examination
Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best restoration option, whether it’s a crown, bridge, or both.
Preparation
For crowns, the damaged tooth will be reshaped to ensure a proper fit. For bridges, your dentist will prepare the surrounding teeth (abutments) to support the bridge.
Impressions
Once the tooth or teeth are prepared, impressions will be taken to create custom crowns or bridges that fit perfectly with your bite and smile.
Temporary restoration
In some cases, a temporary crown or bridge may be placed while your custom restoration is being crafted in our lab.
Fitting the crown or bridge
Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, your dentist will fit it. It will be placed in alignment with your teeth and bite for optimal function and comfort.
Final adjustments and polishing
After making sure the restoration is a perfect fit, your dentist will polish the crown or bridge for a natural, smooth finish.
Aftercare and follow-up
We’ll provide care instructions for your new crown or bridge, and follow-up appointments may be scheduled to ensure long-term success.
