Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are restorations that strengthen and protect damaged or broken teeth.

Understanding Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are custom-made to cover a tooth completely, so you may hear them referred to as caps or tooth caps. A crown restores comfortable chewing function and strengthens and supports the tooth. Dental bridges replace missing teeth to restore function and complete your smile.

We typically use porcelain or ceramic for these restorations because they mimic the strength and appearance of tooth enamel.

Everyone wants a healthy, beautiful smile, and we can help you reach that goal with dental crowns and bridges. Updated techniques and treatments have made placing crowns and bridges easier than ever.

When Are Dental Crowns and Bridges Used?

Dental crowns are very versatile, and we use them to correct many dental issues, including:

Severely decayed teeth
Teeth weakened by root canal treatment
Fractured or broken teeth
Broken or cracked fillings
Large silver fillings
Top off a dental implant
Support a dental bridge

A dental bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth. It is usually made as a single unit held in place by crowns attached to teeth on either side of the gap. This restoration improves your appearance and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and moving into the gap left by a missing tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dental crown or bridge be noticeable?

Modern dental materials and technology have dramatically improved the appearance of dental crowns and bridges. The porcelain used in today’s crowns and bridges can be color-matched to blend perfectly with the shade of your natural teeth. With proper placement, your dental restoration should be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
