Crowns and Bridges

What are dental crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges allow dentists to protect and restore damaged teeth. Typically, when tooth decay is severe enough that it can’t be treated with a filling, a dental crown will be used to cover, or cap, the tooth. Crowns are also commonly used to seal teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. And occasionally, dental crowns are used for cosmetic purposes or in smile makeovers.

A dental bridge is a type of dental work that replaces a tooth or a few consecutive missing teeth. Two dental crowns are placed on the healthy teeth living on either side of the gap left by your lost tooth. A false tooth, or pontic, is attached to the crowns and literally bridges the gap, replacing your missing tooth.

Dental crowns are also referred to as “caps” because they cap the existing tooth structure in order to restore it.

The Process

How dental crowns and bridges work together

preparation of tooth

Your dentist will clean and numb your mouth to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure. The dentist will then prepare the tooth needing a crown by removing a thin layer of enamel to create space for a strong, custom fitting crown.

Impressions or Digital Models

Once your tooth has been prepared, your dentist will take a digital impression or model of your teeth. This technique is incredibly accurate and mess free. The model then is sent to a local dental lab that will begin creating your crown

Temporary Crown

Your dentist will place a temporary resin crown to protect your prepared tooth from sensitivity while you wait for your permanent crown to be made. It takes about a week to have your custom fit crown back in our office ready to deliver

Permanent Placement

Once you and your dentist have determined the look and fit of your crown is right, powerful cement will be used to permanently attach the crown to your tooth. Finally, your bite will be checked and adjusted to make sure the crown functions seamlessly with your other teeth
