Crown & Bridge

Crown & Bridge

At Smile Associates, we understand the importance of a strong, functional, and beautiful smile. Our crown and bridge services are designed to restore your teeth to their natural shape, size, and function. Whether you have a damaged tooth or missing teeth, our high-quality crowns and bridges provide long-lasting, aesthetic solutions that will leave you smiling confidently.

What Are Crowns and Bridges?

  • Dental Crowns: A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used to restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance, ensuring it functions properly while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns placed on the adjacent teeth with a false tooth (pontic) in between. A bridge is a great solution for filling the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

The Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

  • Natural Appearance: We use high-quality materials to create crowns and bridges that look and feel like your natural teeth, ensuring your smile stays beautiful.
  • Durability: Crowns and bridges are designed to be long-lasting, providing you with a reliable solution for years to come.
  • Improves Bite Alignment: Replacing missing teeth with a bridge can prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, helping to maintain proper alignment and bite.
  • Prevents Further Damage: Crowns can protect weakened teeth from further damage or breakage, allowing you to keep your natural tooth intact.

What to Expect During Your Crown and Bridge Treatment

Initial Consultation and Exam

We’ll start by examining the damaged or missing tooth and taking digital X-rays if necessary to assess the underlying structures. We will discuss your options and recommend the best treatment for your unique needs.

Tooth Preparation

For crowns, we’ll carefully shape the affected tooth to ensure the crown fits properly. For bridges, we’ll prepare the adjacent teeth that will hold the crowns.

Impressions

We will take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom crown or bridge that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.

Temporary Crown or Bridge

While your custom crown or bridge is being made, we will place a temporary restoration to protect your tooth and ensure comfort.

Fitting the Permanent Crown or Bridge

Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we will ensure a perfect fit, make any necessary adjustments, and securely bond it in place.

Follow-Up Care

We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to check that the crown or bridge is functioning well and to ensure there are no issues with your bite or comfort.
