Dental Crowns: Your Tooth's Protective Armor
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth!
When Might You Need a Crown?
- To protect a weakened tooth from further damage or fracture
- To restore a tooth that has undergone a root canal
- To improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
- To support a dental bridge
- To cover a dental implant
Dental Bridges: Bridge the Gap, Restore Your Smile
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns that are anchored to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, with a pontic (artificial tooth) filling the gap.
Benefits of Crowns & Bridges:
- Restored Function: Crowns and bridges improve your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: They create a natural-looking and beautiful smile.
- Improved Oral Health: They prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and maintain proper bite alignment.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, crowns, and bridges can last for many years.
- Boosted Confidence: A complete smile can enhance your self-esteem and quality of life.
The Crowns & Bridges Process: Crafting Your Custom Restoration
- Consultation & Preparation: We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and take impressions of your teeth to create a precise model for your custom restoration.
- Temporary Crown/Bridge: While your permanent restoration is being crafted, we’ll place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth and gums.
- Placement: Once your custom restoration is ready, we’ll carefully place and adjust it to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns and bridges can last for many years, even decades. The longevity of your restoration depends on factors like your oral hygiene habits, diet, and any underlying dental conditions. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential to monitor the health of your crowns and bridges and ensure their longevity.
Crowns and bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including:
- Porcelain: Offers a natural appearance and is ideal for front teeth.
- Metal: Highly durable and often used for back teeth.
- Zirconia: A strong and aesthetically pleasing ceramic material suitable for both front and back teeth.
- Composite Resin: A tooth-colored material that can be bonded directly to the tooth.
We’ll discuss the best material options for your specific needs and preferences during your consultation.
Dental insurance coverage for crowns and bridges varies depending on your specific plan. Most plans cover a portion of the cost, especially if the restoration is considered medically necessary. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage.
Caring for your crown or bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools, as this can damage the restoration. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also crucial for maintaining the health of your crown or bridge and surrounding teeth.
If your crown or bridge becomes loose, chipped, or damaged, contact us immediately. Avoid chewing on the affected area and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. We’ll assess the damage and repair or replace the restoration as needed.
