What is the difference between crowns and bridges?

Crowns are like little helmets for your teeth—perfect for when decay, fractures, or heavy fillings have your tooth waving the white flag. They provide protection and a natural look, especially after procedures like root canals or topping off a dental implant. Plus, if your tooth has seen better days cosmetically, a porcelain crown can give it a much-needed makeover. It’s strength meets style, right in your smile!

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the neighboring natural ones. They help restore your smile, improve chewing, and prevent other teeth from shifting out of place. Bridges are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for tooth loss.

These high-quality materials are selected for their ability to endure biting and chewing forces, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance.

With meticulous attention to detail, our crowns and bridges are designed to mimic the appearance of your natural teeth, boosting your confidence and elevating your overall look.

Frequently Asked Questions

With consistent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns can provide long-lasting service. The choice of crown material impacts its durability, but factors such as appearance, longevity, and compatibility with neighboring teeth are also important. Discussing these aspects with your dentist will help you select the most appropriate material for your crown.
The process of getting a dental crown begins with your dentist assessing and preparing the tooth. An impression or digital scan is then taken to create a custom crown and a temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is crafted. Once ready, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted for a proper bite, and bonded to the tooth. Finally, you will receive care instructions and have follow-up appointments to ensure the crown is functioning well and maintaining your dental health.
To care for your dental crown, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily, just as you would with your natural teeth. Avoid chewing on hard objects and sticky foods that could damage the crown. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure the crown and surrounding teeth remain healthy. If you experience any issues with the crown, such as discomfort or changes in fit, contact your dentist promptly for an evaluation.
