Crown and Bridge Procedures

Crown and bridge procedures are valuable solutions to address various dental concerns, from damaged or missing teeth to restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. These restorations are custom-made to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth and provide lasting results.

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a protective covering that encases a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used to:

Restore Function Crowns are ideal for teeth with large cavities, fractures, or extensive decay. They restore the tooth's strength and integrity.

Enhance Appearance Crowns can improve the appearance of misshapen, discolored, or severely stained teeth.

Support After Root Canal: A tooth that has undergone a root canal might require a crown to protect and strengthen it.

A dental bridge is a restoration that spans the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges:

Restore Function Bridges help restore your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper alignment of surrounding teeth.

Preserve Facial Structure Missing teeth can lead to facial sagging over time. Bridges help maintain your natural facial contours.

Enhance Aesthetics Bridges fill in gaps caused by missing teeth, improving your smile's appearance and boosting your confidence.

Consultation We assess your dental health and discuss your treatment goals to determine if crowns or bridges are suitable for you.

Preparation For crown placement, the tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. For bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge.

Impressions Precise impressions are taken to create custom restorations that fit comfortably and look natural.

Temporary Restorations Temporary crowns or bridges may be placed while your final restorations are crafted at a dental laboratory.

Placement Once your final restorations are ready, they are permanently bonded in place, providing you with a functional and aesthetic solution.
