About dental crowns

A dental crown, sometimes called a "cap," is fitted over a tooth covering every exposed surface. It may be used to restore the size and shape of a damaged tooth or to protect one with a compromised structure.

The benefits of a dental crown include:

• Repair a decayed or broken tooth
• Correct a misshapen or disproportionate tooth
• Restore the appearance of a tooth
• Correct cosmetic flaws

About dental bridges

A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more teeth. It utilizes dental crowns to support the false tooth or teeth. Because a bridge is a single unit, the process is streamlined and convenient, very similar to that of a dental crown. The benefits of a dental bridge include:

• Restore chewing efficiency
• Prevent other teeth from shifting toward the space
• Eliminate gaps in your smile

The crown and bridge procedure

The procedure consists of a few simple steps:

• First, a consultation to discuss what option may be best suited for your needs. Once decided, the crown/bridge is designed
• Next, the tooth is prepared for optimal crown retention and a temporary restoration is added.
• You will then come in for a follow-up when your new crown/bridge is ready.
• At your final visit, we will confirm the appearance and fit of the restoration, then cement it in place.
