Crown & Bridges

Crown and bridges are long-lasting dental restorations used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. Think of a dental crown as a custom-fitted "cap" that entirely covers and strengthens weakened or damaged teeth. While a dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding natural teeth.

Essentially, the dental crown and bridge restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Additionally, they provide stability, prevent shifting, and improve bite alignment.

Professional Crown & Bridges Processes

At our clinic, we follow a meticulous, patient-focused and comfortable process to ensure optimal, strong and natural-looking results.

(1) Comprehensive Examination

First, our dentist assesses your oral health by conducting a thorough examination, taking digital scans, and planning the ideal restoration.

(2) Tooth Preparation, Impression & Shade Matching

Next, our dentist gently prepares the affected tooth or teeth by shaping it gently to allow proper crown or bridge placement. The process is then followed by taking precise digital impressions and selecting the best shade for a seamless blend with your natural teeth.

(3) Temporary Restoration

While your custom crown or bridge is being crafted, a temporary crown or bridge is placed for protection and comfort.

(4) Final Placement

Finally, the permanent crown or bridge is fitted, adjusted, and bonded securely for optimal function and aesthetics.
