Dental Crowns & Bridges

What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is like a protective cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth.
It restores your tooth’s shape, strength, and look, making it function just like a natural one.
Crowns are ideal for:
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Large fillings
- Root canal-treated teeth
- Severely worn down teeth
- Cosmetic improvements
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth.
It literally “bridges the gap” using crowns on either side of the missing tooth, with an artificial tooth (called a pontic) in the middle.
Bridges are:
- Fixed (not removable)
- Anchored to healthy teeth or implants
- Custom-designed to match your smile
How Are Crowns & Bridges Made?
Here’s how the process typically works:
Step 1: Tooth Prep & Impression
- Your dentist reshapes the tooth (or teeth) and takes an impression.
Step 2: Lab Creation
- A custom crown or bridge is crafted to fit perfectly and match your natural teeth.
Step 3: Placement & Bonding
- Your new crown or bridge is securely placed and adjusted for comfort.
Usually completed in 2 visits
