Crowns and Bridges

How Are Crowns and Bridges Made?

Crowns and bridges are made by a dental technician who uses the mold of your teeth to determine the exact shape and size of the restoration. The process typically takes only a few weeks to complete, helping you achieve your best smile.

How Long Will Crowns and Bridges Last?

The longevity of a crown or bridge largely depends on the patient’s dental health and hygiene habits. Routine exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining your teeth’s cleanliness and health. A crown or bridge can be damaged by an injury, biting a hard piece of candy, or failing to brush and floss on a regular basis.

What Problems Do Crowns Fix?

There is a long list of dental problems that can be repaired with a crown or bridge. Here are a few that may apply to your case:

A crown can cover and secure a tooth that has cracked or chipped.
A darkened or discolored tooth that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments will look bright, smooth, and polished after a crown is added.
A dental bridge will fill in spaces caused by lost or extracted teeth.
A crown will shore up a tooth that is vulnerable after root canal therapy.
