What Are Crowns and Bridges?
- Crowns: Crowns are caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength. They are designed to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, enhancing both function and appearance.
- Bridges: Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on either side, a bridge fills the gap with artificial teeth, restoring your smile and improving chewing and speaking functions.
Benefits of Crown and Bridgework
- Restoration of Function: Crowns and bridges restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably, enhancing overall dental function.
- Durability and Strength: Made from strong materials, crowns and bridges provide long-lasting solutions, ensuring that your restored teeth withstand daily use.
- Aesthetic Improvement: These restorations are custom-designed to match the natural color and shape of your teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

The Crown and Bridge Process
The digital guided implant process involves several stages, including
- Initial Consultation: We start with an examination and discuss your restoration goals, taking digital impressions to ensure a custom fit.
- Preparation and Placement: For crowns, the damaged tooth is reshaped to support the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared for crown placement, which will anchor the bridge.
Preparing for Crown & Bridgework
What to Expect Before, During, and After
To prepare for your crown or bridge procedure:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Healthy teeth and gums are essential for successful placement and healing.
- Discuss Anesthesia Options: If needed, we offer numbing and sedation options to ensure your comfort.
To care for your new crown or bridge:
- Follow Regular Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss around your crowns and bridges to prevent plaque buildup.
