What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap designed to cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Common reasons for a dental crown include:
-
Protecting a weak or cracked tooth from breaking
-
Restoring a broken or worn-down tooth
-
Covering a tooth with a large filling
-
Holding a dental bridge in place
-
Covering a dental implant
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges help restore your smile, maintain proper bite alignment, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Common reasons for a dental bridge include:
-
Replacing one or more missing teeth
-
Preventing remaining teeth from moving out of place
-
Restoring proper chewing and speaking function
-
Maintaining facial structure and appearance
Types of dental bridges:
-
Traditional Bridges: Use crowns on adjacent teeth to support one or more pontics.
-
Cantilever Bridges: Supported by a crown on only one adjacent tooth.
-
Maryland Bridges: Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth.

Step 1: Consultation and Planning
During your initial visit, our experienced team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
For crowns, the affected tooth is reshaped to ensure a proper fit. For bridges, adjacent teeth may need preparation to support the bridge.
Step 3: Impressions and Temporary Restoration
We take precise impressions of your teeth to create custom restorations. Temporary crowns or bridges may be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent restorations are being fabricated.
Step 4: Placement of Permanent Restoration
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we’ll ensure it fits comfortably and matches your natural teeth. After any necessary adjustments, the restoration is securely cemented in place.
