Teeth can become weakened, damaged, or lost over time. Crowns and bridges are reliable ways to restore both function and appearance—helping you chew comfortably, protect remaining tooth structure, and maintain a natural-looking smile.
A crown is a custom-made covering that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is:
A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is supported by neighboring teeth (or implants) and fills the gap with natural-looking replacement teeth.
Bridges help:
Every crown or bridge is designed with careful attention to fit, function, and aesthetics.
We use digital X-rays and iTero scanning to evaluate your teeth and create accurate digital impressions—eliminating the need for traditional molds in many cases.
This allows us to design restorations that integrate naturally with your bite and surrounding teeth.
For crowns, the tooth is carefully shaped to create space for the restoration.
For bridges, the supporting teeth are prepared in a similar way. A digital scan or impression is then taken, and a temporary restoration is placed to protect the area while your final crown or bridge is being made.
At your next visit, the final restoration is fitted, adjusted if needed, and securely placed—restoring both function and appearance.
Modern crowns and bridges are made from durable, tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or ceramic.
These materials are selected to match the color and translucency of your natural teeth, helping the restoration blend in seamlessly.
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years. Good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and maintaining healthy gums all contribute to their longevity.
In some cases, there may be more than one way to restore a tooth or replace a missing one.
We take the time to explain your options—whether it’s a crown, bridge, or implant—so you can make a well-informed decision.
Our goal is to restore not just individual teeth, but the overall balance, function, and appearance of your smile.
