Dental Crowns and Bridges
When teeth are lost or significantly damaged, dental crowns and bridges can be used as reliable solutions. They not only restore functionality for chewing and speaking, but they also have a natural appearance. Crafted from high-quality materials, our crowns and bridges are built to last and deliver outstanding performance. We take pride in seamlessly integrating these restorations with your natural teeth, ensuring they not only look the part but also function just like the real deal.

What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are used when a tooth has a very large filling that exceeds the natural tooth structure, your tooth had root canal therapy, or for cosmetic reasons.
Dental crowns serve various purposes, each contributing to the restoration of your dental health First, they are used to cover and protect damaged teeth. This restores the tooth’s functionality and appearance. Additionally, crowns can be affixed to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. This integration provides stability and security, ensuring the crown functions seamlessly and stays firmly in place.
Additionally, dental crowns may also be used to provide extra support for dental bridges. They do not require any special treatment and can be brushed and flossed as normal.

What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are frequently used to address tooth loss in patients. These bridges span the gap left by missing teeth with one or more replacement teeth. They can be anchored in place using abutment crowns on either side or via precision metal fixtures securely installed within the mouth. We custom-design each component of a dental bridge to ensure that it looks natural and provides the desired performance.

How do temporary dental crowns work?
Temporary dental crowns protect and maintain the function of a tooth while a permanent crown is being made. They serve as a protective cover, shielding the reshaped tooth from sensitivity and damage while also helping to maintain normal chewing and speaking functions. Additionally, they provide a cosmetic solution to prevent visible gaps and keep the proper spacing between teeth to ensure a good fit for the permanent crown. Made from materials like acrylic or composite resin, these crowns are attached with temporary cement, making them easy to remove when it’s time to place the permanent crown. Typically, they are used for about two to three weeks.
