Service Overview
Protect the tooth, restore the smile.
Crowns cover and protect damaged teeth. Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth so your bite, smile, and neighboring teeth stay supported.
Crowns can protect cracked, broken, discolored, weakened, or heavily restored teeth. Bridges can prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into open space and affecting the bite, jaw joint, or gums.
What bridges do
Replace missing teeth and help keep neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap.
How they are made
A prepared tooth or space is scanned or impressed, then restored with a custom porcelain or ceramic restoration.

01 When do I need a crown instead of a filling?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth is too cracked, weak, broken, or heavily restored for a filling to predictably protect it.
02 What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers one tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by spanning the space and anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants.
03 Can crowns be done same day?
Some crowns can be completed with CEREC same day technology. The dentist will explain whether your tooth is a good candidate.
