Bridges and Crowns

Full-Service Bridge and Crown Procedures

Bridges to Replace Missing Teeth

If you have a missing tooth or multiple teeth that are missing, a bridge can be created to help maintain the shape of your face and alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge consists of artificial teeth. They look great and bridge the gap where one or more of your teeth have been.

Bridges can be made from gold, Emax, zirconia, or a combination of materials that are bonded onto your surrounding teeth for support.

Crowns to Preserve Damaged Teeth

Decay, cracked fillings, root canals, and clenching or grinding of teeth can cause extensive damage to the underlying tooth structure. Sometimes a dental filling won't be sufficient to restore the tooth. If you want to restore the cosmetic appearance and function of a tooth, a dental crown offers full coverage. Dental crowns look and feel like a natural tooth does.

Crown Procedures

With our in-house lab, the creation process is much faster and more predictable. To start, we'll take a custom shade that you will not be charged extra for or require a separate appointment. We'll then reduce the tooth in size to accommodate the crown. An impression is made from your existing tooth and our lab technicians create a custom-designed crown.

In some instances, a temporary crown is applied until the permanent crown is completed. Permanent crowns are then cemented in place. To learn more about crowns, contact us today.
