What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges
A crown wraps around a weakened or broken tooth to give it back its strength. A bridge fills the space where teeth used to be, using restorations crafted to look and function like your natural teeth. Both do more than improve your appearance. They help you chew, speak, and smile without thinking twice.
Signs You May Need a Crown or Bridge
You might already know something needs to be fixed, or maybe you have just been living with it. If any of these sound familiar, a crown or bridge could be the right next step:
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- A tooth weakened by a large filling or decay
- After a root canal treatment
- One or more missing teeth
- Difficulty chewing certain foods
- Teeth shifting because of a missing tooth
- Excessively worn teeth
Our Treatment Process
We want you to know exactly what is going to happen before we start. Here is how the process works from beginning to end:
Consultation and Examination
First, we get the full picture. We examine your teeth, listen to your concerns, and then recommend the treatment that fits what you actually need.
Digital Imaging and Treatment Planning
Before anything is made, we take digital scans and plan every detail so your restoration fits properly and complements the appearance of your natural teeth.
Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is carefully prepared, or the supporting teeth are shaped if a bridge is being placed.
Custom Restoration Fabrication
Your custom crown or bridge is crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
Final Placement and Adjustment
Once your restoration is ready, we place it and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite.
