Restore the Strength, Function, and Beauty of Your Smile
Teeth that are damaged, weakened, or missing can affect more than just your appearance — they can also impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain a healthy bite. Crowns and bridges are reliable, time-tested solutions to help restore your smile's health, strength, and appearance.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped "cap" that fits securely over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape, size, and function while providing long-lasting protection.
Crowns are often recommended for:
- Teeth with large fillings
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Severely worn or weakened teeth
- Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
- Covering misshapen or discolored teeth for cosmetic reasons
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by "bridging" the gap. A bridge typically consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
Bridges help by:
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
- Preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of position
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Distributing bite forces evenly
Materials Used for Crowns and Bridges
Today’s crowns and bridges are crafted from high-quality materials designed for both strength and aesthetics, such as:
- Porcelain or ceramic (most natural-looking)
- Porcelain fused to metal (added strength)
- Zirconia (extremely durable and lifelike)
- Gold alloys (long-lasting and strong, though less common for visible teeth)
Our team will recommend the best material based on your specific needs, location of the tooth, and cosmetic goals.
What is the Process Like?
The process usually involves two visits:
- Preparation Visit:
- The tooth (or teeth) are shaped to fit a crown or bridge.
- Impressions are taken to create a perfect custom fit.
- A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your tooth.
- Placement Visit:
- Your custom restoration is fitted, adjusted, and permanently bonded.
- Final adjustments ensure a comfortable bite and a natural look.
Caring for Crowns and Bridges
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
Care tips include:
- Brushing and flossing daily
- Avoiding very hard or sticky foods
- Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings
