What are crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative services used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. These nonsurgical treatments restore the appearance of your smile and improve your ability to speak and chew.

Crowns

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your natural tooth to improve its strength and appearance.

Crowns can be a treatment option for worn-down, decayed, or broken teeth. You might also need a crown after a root canal or to attach to a dental implant.

Bridges

A dental bridge consists of crowns that fit over the natural teeth on both sides of a missing tooth. An artificial tooth is attached to the crowns and serves as a bridge to fill the gap in your smile.

Denta Smiles offers custom-made crowns and bridges for adults and children. The experienced dentists also provide sedation services to increase your comfort while placing a crown or bridge.

When would I need a crown or bridge?

Denta Smiles offers crowns for individuals with decayed, broken, or discolored teeth that are not treatable with dental bonding or another dental procedure. If you’re receiving dental implants or undergoing a root canal, you may also need a crown.

You may be a candidate for a bridge if you’re missing one or more teeth due to trauma, periodontal disease, or an injury.

A bridge improves the appearance of your smile. It prevents the deterioration of your jawbone, which can occur when you’re missing one or more teeth.

What can I expect during the placement of a crown or bridge?

You will need two visits to place a crown or a bridge. 

During your first visit, the Denta Smiles team takes impressions of your teeth to create your custom crown or bridge. 

The second visit occurs after your restoration is ready. The team removes a bit of your enamel before bonding the crown or bridge in place with a special dental cement.

The dental specialists can provide sedation if needed. They can also help you schedule regular dental checkups to ensure your crown or bridge functions properly.
