We’re here to provide restorative solutions that are as strong and beautiful as they are functional.

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. They’re commonly used after large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatments.

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. This not only restores your smile but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.

When Might You Need a Crown or Bridge?

Wondering if you might need a dental crown or bridge? These restorative treatments are commonly recommended to protect, strengthen, or replace teeth, helping you maintain both the function and appearance of your smile. You may be a good candidate for a dental crown if you have:

  • If your tooth is fractured due to injury, pressure, or wear, a crown can hold it together and restore its shape and strength.
  • When decay has weakened a tooth beyond what a filling can repair, a crown offers full coverage protection to prevent further damage.
  • Teeth that have lost structure due to grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion can be rebuilt with crowns to restore proper height and function.
  • After root canal therapy, a tooth is more fragile and prone to breakage. A crown provides the protection it needs for long-term use.
  • Imperfections like deep staining or uneven shape can be corrected with a crown, helping you feel more confident about your smile.
    You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:

  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Want to restore chewing ability and proper bite alignment
  • Are experiencing shifting teeth or jaw discomfort due to a gap
  • Prefer a fixed solution instead of a removable partial denture
