Dental Crown & Bridges Treatment
Restore your smile with custom-made dental crowns and bridges. Durable, natural-looking solutions for damaged or missing teeth.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and are designed to look natural.
When You Need a Crown:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking
- To restore an already broken tooth
- To cover a tooth with a large filling
- To cover a dental implant
- After root canal treatment
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between.
When You Need a Bridge:
- To replace one or more missing teeth
- To prevent remaining teeth from drifting
- To restore chewing and speaking ability
- To maintain face shape and smile
- As an alternative to dentures
Crown & Bridge Treatment Process
Consultation & Examination
We'll examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options. We'll determine if a crown or bridge is the best solution for your specific dental needs.
Tooth Preparation
We'll prepare the affected tooth/teeth by removing a small amount of the outer surface to make room for the crown or bridge. For bridges, the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge are prepared.
Impressions & Temporary Restoration
We'll take precise impressions of your prepared teeth to create your custom crown or bridge. A temporary crown/bridge will be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent restoration is being made.
Fabrication
Our dental laboratory will craft your custom crown or bridge using high-quality materials. We'll select the appropriate shade to match your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Placement & Adjustment
Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we'll remove the temporary restoration and place the new one. We'll check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure your bite is comfortable.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge
Daily Maintenance
Brush twice daily and floss around your crown or bridge carefully. Pay special attention to the area where the crown meets the gum line. For bridges, use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean under the bridge.
Dietary Considerations
Avoid chewing on hard foods like ice or hard candy, which can damage your crown or bridge. Minimize sticky foods that might dislodge your restoration. If you grind your teeth, consider using a nightguard to protect your dental work.
Regular Check-ups
Visit us for regular check-ups to ensure your crown or bridge is in good condition. Professional cleanings help maintain the health of the supporting teeth and gums, extending the life of your restoration.
