Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are prosthetic devices designed to provide restoration of function and appearance in your teeth. A crown is a cap on the altered tooth, and a bridge is a replacement of one or more missing teeth through the anchorage of artificial teeth to adjacent teeth. These treatments are durable and very aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that your smile is always as bright as ever.

• Crowns: A dental crown is ideal for teeth that are cracked, decayed, or weakened. It helps to restore strength, improve function, and enhance the appearance of your tooth.
• Bridges: A dental bridge is used to replace missing teeth. It spans the gap left by missing teeth and is anchored onto adjacent healthy teeth for stability.

When you visit our office for crowns and bridges, here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will perform a comprehensive dental examination, including X-rays if necessary, to assess the condition of your teeth and determine if crowns or bridges are the best solution for you.
2. Treatment Plan: After evaluating your needs, our dentist near you will discuss the treatment options available, including the materials used and the timeline for completion.
3. Preparation: For a crown, the affected tooth will be shaped to fit the cap. For a bridge, the surrounding teeth will be prepared to anchor the bridge in place.
4. Temporary Solution: In most cases, we will provide you with a temporary crown or bridge to wear until your permanent restoration is ready.
5. Placement of the Permanent Restoration: Once your custom-made crown or bridge is ready, we will carefully place it in your mouth, ensuring it fits comfortably and looks natural.
6. Follow-up Care: After your treatment, we will schedule a follow-up visit to ensure everything is healing properly and that you’re comfortable with your new crowns or bridges.
