Understanding Crowns and Bridges

Dental Crown

A dental crown is a cap that completely covers a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth. Crowns are often recommended for: 

  • Large cavities that cannot be filled 

  • Severely worn down or cracked teeth 

  • After root canal therapy 

  • As an anchor for a dental bridge 

  • To improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth 

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the natural teeth or implants adjacent to the empty space. Bridges help to: 

  • Restore the ability to chew and speak properly 

  • Maintain the shape of your face 

  • Prevent adjacent teeth from shifting 

  • Restore your smile’s appearance and balance

What to expect

The Crown and Bridge Procedure

Consultation and Examination

Our dentist performs a comprehensive oral exam and takes digital X-rays to assess your dental health and determine the best treatment plan for your needs. 

Tooth Preparation

For crowns, the tooth is numbed and reshaped to accommodate the restoration. If you’re getting a bridge, the adjacent teeth (abutments) are also prepared to anchor the bridge.

Impressions and Temporary Crown

We take digital or physical impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab to custom-make your crown or bridge. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect your teeth. 

Permanent Crown or Bridge Placement

Once the final restoration is ready (usually within 2-3 weeks), we schedule your appointment. The temporary bridge has been removed, and the new crown bridge is securely cemented into place. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and natural bite.

Tips and Tricks

Aftercare For Your Crown and Bridge

Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity of your crown bridge: 

Maintain excellent oral hygiene 

Brush twice a day and floss daily, especially around the bridge. 

Avoid sticky or hard foods 

These can dislodge or damage your restoration. 

Regular dental visits 

Get professional cleanings and check-ups every six months. 

Use a nightguard if needed 

If you grind your teeth at night, a guard can protect you from wear and tear. 

Our team will give you complete post-procedure care instructions and help you schedule routine maintenance visits.
