Crowns & Bridges

Traditionally, dental crowns have required two appointments to complete. Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, our dentists can create and place your crown in a single visit, saving you time and preventing the need for multiple visits to our office to restore your smile. Your dental crown is designed using an advanced imaging system which creates a digital impression. From this impression, our dentists can design and mill a custom dental crown in a matter of minutes to complete your restoration and help you leave our office with a renewed smile.

When you visit our office for a same-day dental crown, our dentists will:

• Thoroughly examine your teeth to ensure that a crown is the right treatment for you
• Remove weakened, decayed or broken tooth material
• Capture a digital picture of your mouth
• Convert that picture into a 3D model
• Create your restoration based on the 3D model
• Mill your crown from a block of tooth-colored material

In a matter of a few minutes, your crown will be ready. Our dentists will then place it in your mouth, check that it fits properly, bond it into place and polish it to complete your treatment.

If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete a dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile.

Our dentists may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

• Restoring your ability to speak, eat and chew normally
• Alleviating excess stress on the bite
• Improving the shape and volume of your face
• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
• Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile

We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit us today.
