What's Included in Your Treatment

Custom-Fitted Crowns

Designed to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Fixed Bridges

Anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of a gap, bridges replace one or more missing teeth and keep your bite from shifting out of place.

Tooth-Colored Materials

Every restoration is shaped and shaded to match your surrounding teeth, so it blends in rather than standing out.

A Personalized Fit

Fine-tuned to your bite during placement, so your crown or bridge feels natural and comfortable from day one.

The Importance of Restoring Your Smile

A damaged or missing tooth affects more than just how your smile looks. Left alone, it can lead to further issues over time.

Teeth weakened by a large filling, root canal, or crack
Your bite, which can shift when a tooth is missing
Neighboring teeth, which can drift out of place to fill a gap
Your ability to chew comfortably on both sides of your mouth

Who Needs a Crown or Bridge

Crowns and bridges are usually recommended when a tooth needs extra protection or a gap needs filling.

A Cracked or Weakened Tooth: From a large filling, a root canal, or everyday wear, a crown restores strength and protects the tooth from further damage.
Noticeable Wear From Grinding: If grinding has worn your teeth down over time, a crown can restore their shape and function.
A Missing Tooth Affecting Your Bite: A bridge fills the gap, keeping your bite balanced and your neighboring teeth in place.
A Smile That's Changed Shape or Color: When whitening or veneers aren't quite enough, a crown can restore both the look and function of the tooth.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

How long does the process take?

Most crowns and bridges take two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to place your finished restoration.

Will my crown or bridge match my other teeth?

Yes. We shape and shade every crown and bridge to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.

Does getting a crown hurt?

We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the process as straightforward, with only mild soreness afterward.

How long do crowns and bridges typically last?

With good care, crowns and bridges can last many years. Regular checkups help us catch any wear early and keep your restoration in good shape.

Can a crown fix a cracked tooth?

In many cases, yes. A crown covers and protects a cracked tooth, restoring its strength and preventing the crack from getting worse.

What if I'm missing more than one tooth?

We'll talk through your options during your consultation, whether that's a bridge, an implant, or a combination built around your needs.

How do I care for a crown or bridge at home?

Regular brushing, flossing, and checkups are all it takes. We'll show you the best way to clean around your bridge to protect the teeth supporting it.

Will I need a temporary crown while mine is made?

Yes. We'll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent one is custom made.

Are crowns and bridges covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan. We're in-network with Delta Dental and happy to check your benefits before you begin treatment.
