The Role of Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges serve important roles in restorative dentistry:
- Crowns: A crown or cap, is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance.
- Bridges: A bridge is used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth, anchored in place by crowns on either side of the gap or by dental implants.
The Crown and Bridge Procedure
Our process for crowns and bridges is thorough and patient-focused:
- Initial Consultation: Assessing your oral health and discussing your restoration options.
- Tooth Preparation: Reshaping the tooth (or teeth) to accommodate the crown or bridge.
- Impressions: Taking molds of your teeth to create custom-fit restorations.
- Temporary Solutions: Fitting temporary crowns or bridges while your custom restorations are made.
- Final Placement: Cementing your permanent crown or bridge, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.

FAQ
What are dental crowns used for?
Dental crowns are used to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restore their shape, size and strength and improve appearance. They are commonly used after root canal therapy or to support large fillings.
How do dental bridges work?
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth or teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. The bridge fills the gap and restores function and appearance, providing a stable and lasting solution.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
Dental crowns and bridges typically last between 10 to 15 years, depending on factors such as oral hygiene, the quality of materials used and regular dental care. Proper maintenance can help extend their lifespan.
What should I expect during the placement of a crown or bridge?
The process usually involves two visits. During the first visit, your tooth is prepared and impressions are taken to create the crown or bridge. At the second visit, the final restoration is placed and adjusted for a proper fit.
