Dental Crowns and Bridges for Lasting Smile Restoration
When your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or missing, dental crowns and bridges restore both function and appearance. A crown “caps” and protects a weakened tooth, while a bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth using support from adjacent teeth. Your restoration is custom-made to blend naturally with your smile and help you chew and speak comfortably again.
01.
Dental Crown Process
- Initial Consultation: You will receive a comprehensive exam during which your tooth is evaluated, and impressions are taken to begin planning your custom crown.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to create space for the crown while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
- Impressions and Temporary Crown: Impressions are taken to craft your permanent crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth in the meantime.
- Final Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, you will return for a fitting. After confirming comfort and bite alignment, your crown is permanently cemented in place.

Dental Bridge Process
- Initial Consultation: You will undergo an exam to assess the missing tooth area and determine whether a bridge is the right solution for your smile.
- Preparation of Supporting Teeth: The teeth on either side of the gap are gently reshaped to support the bridge.
- Impressions and Temporary Bridge: Impressions are taken to design your custom bridge. A temporary bridge protects the prepared teeth while your final restoration is made.
- Final Fitting and Cementation: Your permanent bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort, and securely cemented to restore your bite and smile.
