Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are essential restorative options that help rebuild your smile’s strength, function, and appearance. A crown is a cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, protecting it from further damage while restoring its shape and performance. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatments, to restore broken teeth, or to enhance the appearance of discolored or misshaped teeth.

Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge typically consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help maintain facial structure, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and restore proper chewing and speech functions.

Both crowns and bridges are custom-made from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, ensuring a natural look that matches your surrounding teeth. Modern dental technology allows for highly precise, durable, and beautiful restorations.

The procedure usually involves preparing the affected teeth, taking detailed impressions, and fitting temporary restorations until the final crown or bridge is ready. Once completed, the permanent restoration is securely bonded into place, offering long-term function and aesthetic appeal.

Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits can significantly extend the life of crowns and bridges. If you have a damaged or missing tooth, schedule a consultation to find out how our customized crowns and bridges can restore your confident, healthy smile.
