Restore and Enhance Your Smile with High-Quality Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns: A crown is a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect a cracked tooth, cover a dental implant, or improve the aesthetics of a discolored or poorly shaped tooth.
Dental Bridges: A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.
Same-Day Crowns: Same-day crowns are made in our office using a sophisticated milling machine that crafts your new crown from a ceramic block in just about an hour. This means you can come in with a damaged tooth and leave with a fully restored smile in a single visit.
01.
Initial Consultation: Examination and discussion of the best restorative option based on your dental health and cosmetic goals. Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the tooth is reshaped to make room for the cap. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge. Impression Taking: Digital impressions are taken for traditional crowns and bridges. For same-day crowns, digital scans are used to design the crown in real-time.
02.
Crown or Bridge Fabrication: For traditional methods, impressions are sent to a lab. Same-day crowns are milled directly in our office. Final Fitting and Adjustment: Whether it’s a same-day procedure or a follow-up visit, we ensure the fit and color match perfectly before permanently cementing the crown or bridge.
