What Are Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones. A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and natural appearance. Crowns are also used to complete dental implants or protect a tooth after root canal treatment.

Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth held in place by crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth. This helps restore your bite and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

​

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

• Restore Functionality: Crowns and bridges restore your ability to chew, bite, and speak comfortably and effectively.

• Protect and Strengthen: Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth from further decay, cracking, or wear.

• Enhance Appearance: These restorations are custom-crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, improving your smile.

• Prevent Shifting: Bridges help maintain the alignment of your teeth by filling gaps and preventing neighboring teeth from moving.

• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years, providing a durable and reliable option for tooth restoration.

The Crown and Bridge Process

1. Consultation: The process begins with a detailed consultation at Dental Sense. We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine whether a crown, bridge, or combination is best for your needs.

2. Customization: We take precise digital or physical impressions of your teeth to design a custom crown or bridge. This ensures a secure, natural fit that restores both function and appearance.

3. Placement and Fitting: Once your crown or bridge is crafted, you’ll return for a placement appointment. We’ll fit the restoration, make any necessary adjustments, and cement it securely in place for lasting comfort and stability.

4. Ongoing Care: We’ll schedule regular check-ups to ensure your restoration remains in excellent condition. If needed, we can make adjustments or repairs to maintain a proper fit and function.
