Dental Crowns

A dental “cap” or crown is a structure that slips over a weak or decayed cracked tooth or is placed after a root canal to protect the treated tooth and prevent infection. Crowns can be made from various materials, including:
  1. Porcelain – Looks the most natural and is ideal for front teeth.
  2. Metal (like gold or silver) – Extremely durable, mostly used for back teeth.
  3. Porcelain-fused-to-metal – Strong like metal but with a natural look.
  4. Zirconia – A newer, highly durable material that also looks natural.

When Do You Need a Crown?

  • To protect a weak tooth from breaking.
  • To restore an already broken or severely worn-down tooth.
  • To cover a dental implant.
  • To improve the appearance of a discolored or misshaped tooth.
Impressions of your tooth are taken to record its dimensions and in turn, dental lab technicians use this information to ensure the crown fits you precisely.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is given to patients missing one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” or closes the gap between teeth. The structure is anchored onto neighboring natural teeth (called abutments) or dental implants that sit on either side of the gap.
Four main bridge types are available:
  1. Traditional Bridge – The most common type, this bridge is held in place by crowns on the abutment teeth.
  2. Cantilever Bridge – Used when there’s only one abutment tooth beside the gap.
  3. Maryland Bridge – A porcelain or metal framework is attached to the backside of the abutment teeth.
  4. Implant-Supported Bridge – Titanium implants are inserted into the jaw, and then the bridge is placed on top. This option offers additional support.

When Do You Need a Bridge?

Getting a dental bridge near you is worth considering if you’re looking to:

  • To restore your smile and maintain your facial shape.
  • To stop remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
  • To improve chewing and speaking ability.
Like with crowns, if you’ve been approved for this treatment, impressions are taken to create a customized bridge that fits and feels comfortable to wear.

Need to Restore Your Smile?

Dental crowns and bridges are reliable, long-lasting structures that can repair your smile and help you engage in daily oral functions like talking, biting, and chewing. Each is designed to blend in with your smile so you can feel confident as you leave your appointment.
