Crowns & Bridges
Custom Crowns & Bridges That Look Real
A cracked or worn-down tooth does not have to mean losing it. A crown rebuilds a damaged tooth, and a bridge fills the gap where a tooth is already gone, so you can chew, speak, and smile without a second thought.
Both are custom-made to match your natural teeth and built to hold up to daily use. This is everyday, dependable dentistry, and it is some of the work we are known for.
What are crowns and bridges?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement to the healthy teeth on either side. Both are custom-made, tooth-colored, and designed to look and work like natural teeth.
When you might need a crown
A crown is often the answer when a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but still worth saving.
If you have a tooth that twinges when you chew or that you are favoring, it is worth having us look before it turns into something bigger.
Common reasons include:
A tooth that is cracked, broken, or badly worn
A large old filling that is failing or leaving the tooth weak
A tooth that just had a root canal and needs protection
A misshapen or discolored tooth you want to restore
When bridges make sense
When a tooth is already missing, the teeth around it slowly drift into the gap, which can throw off your bite and make cleaning harder. A bridge closes that space by attaching a natural-looking replacement tooth to crowns on the neighboring teeth. It restores your bite, keeps your other teeth in line, and fills in your smile.
Your Crown & Bridge Visit
01
Exam and plan.
We check the tooth, take images, and explain whether a crown, a bridge, or another option is the best fit. You will know the plan and the cost before we begin.
02
Preparing the tooth.
We numb the area, shape the tooth, and take a digital scan so your crown or bridge fits precisely.
03
A temporary while you wait.
You leave with a temporary crown or bridge protecting the tooth while your custom one is made.
04
Fitting the final restoration.
We place your permanent crown or bridge, check that your bite feels natural, and make sure you are happy with how it looks.

How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good care, crowns and bridges last many years, often well over a decade. What extends their life is simple: brush and floss daily, keep up with your regular cleanings, and avoid using your teeth to open packages or chew ice. If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard protects your restorations while you sleep.

Is getting a crown painful?
No. We numb the tooth first, so the visit is comfortable. The tooth may feel a little sensitive for a few days afterward, which settles down.
How many visits does a crown take?
Usually two. First, we prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown. At the second, we fit your permanent crown once it is made.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
Yes. We match the shade and shape to your surrounding teeth, so it blends in and no one can tell.
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers and rebuilds a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side.
How do I take care of them?
Brush and floss as normal, keep up with cleanings, and avoid chewing very hard things. We will show you how to clean around a bridge so it stays healthy.
