Crowns & Bridges

Restore the strength, function, and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth.

Introduction

What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices cemented onto existing teeth or implants. Unlike dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges can only be removed by a dentist.

Dental Crowns

A crown (or \"cap\") completely covers a damaged, weak, or severely decayed tooth to restore its original shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is typically used after a root canal or when a large cavity threatens the health of the tooth.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) anchored between two crowns placed on the healthy teeth (abutments) on either side of the gap.

When Are They Needed?

Crowns and bridges solve a wide variety of dental issues, preventing further decay and restoring functionality.

  • To protect a weak tooth from fracturing after a root canal.
  • To cover a dental implant.
  • To replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining.
  • To fill the gap of a missing tooth (Bridge) to stop teeth from shifting.

The Procedure

Our Treatment Process

Preparation

The tooth is numbed, and a thin layer of enamel is shaved off to make room for the crown to fit over it perfectly.

Digital Impressions

We take a precise 3D scan of your mouth and send the data to our dental lab to custom-mill your crown or bridge.

Temporary Placement

While your permanent crown is being made (usually takes a few days), we place a temporary acrylic crown to protect your tooth.

Final Cementation

On your second visit, we remove the temporary, check the fit and color of the permanent crown, and cement it permanently in place.

Maintenance

Aftercare Tips

Normal Hygiene

Brush and floss your crowned teeth exactly like natural teeth to prevent decay at the gum line.

Flossing Bridges

Use special floss threaders or a water flosser to clean underneath the artificial tooth of a bridge.

Avoid Hard Foods

Avoid chewing ice, hard candies, or using your teeth to open packages, which can chip porcelain.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a high-quality Zirconia or PFM crown can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and often much longer.

No. We use local anesthesia during the tooth preparation process so you won't feel any pain. You may experience some mild sensitivity for a few days after the procedure, which is normal.

Zirconia is incredibly strong and durable, making it excellent for back teeth (molars) that withstand heavy chewing. E-max is slightly less strong but offers superior translucency and aesthetics, making it the preferred choice for highly visible front teeth.

\"I had a large gap from a missing tooth and was always self-conscious. The Zirconia bridge Dr. Niko placed looks exactly like my real teeth. The color match is perfect, and I can finally chew on that side again!\"
