Treatment Overview

Crowns and bridges are permanent, custom-fitted prosthetic restorations used to rebuild damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. A dental crown (or "cap") completely covers a weak, fractured, or root-canal-treated tooth, restoring its strength, shape, size, and appearance. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap. The bridge is anchored securely on either side by placing crowns on your adjacent natural teeth. Our clinic utilizes advanced, metal-free zirconia and E-max porcelain to deliver incredibly strong and naturally luminous restorations.

Key Benefits of Treatment

  • Restores full chewing strength to broken or decayed teeth
  • Blends seamlessly with your natural teeth in color and translucency
  • Prevents adjacent teeth from drifting out of alignment into empty gaps
  • Supports facial muscles, preventing lip sagging from missing teeth
  • Highly durable material that lasts for decades with basic care

Step-by-Step Procedure

1

Tooth Preparation

We shape the anchoring tooth or teeth, removing a thin outer layer of enamel to make room for the porcelain cap.

2

Digital Impression

We take a 3D digital scan of the prepared teeth, eliminating the sticky putty impressions used in traditional clinics.

3

Temporary Restoration

A custom temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics while the lab works.

4

Master Lab Fabrication

Our master ceramists build your porcelain restorations, matching the precise shade, ridges, and bite alignment of your natural teeth.

5

Permanent Cementation

We remove the temporaries, test the fit and bite of the new porcelain crown or bridge, and bond it permanently in place.

Recovery & Aftercare Guidelines

There is minimal recovery. Your gums around the prepped teeth may feel slightly sensitive for 24-48 hours. Standard warm salt water rinses will speed up gum healing. Avoid sticky or extremely hard foods on your temporary restorations, but you can return to normal chewing once the permanent porcelain is bonded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown is a single cap placed over an existing tooth to strengthen it. A bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more fully missing teeth, using crowns on adjacent teeth as anchor supports.
How long do porcelain crowns last?
High-quality E-max or Zirconia crowns typically last 10 to 20 years. Consistent brushing, flossing around the margins, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth will ensure maximum longevity.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. The tooth-shaping process is performed under local anesthesia, so you will feel no pain. You may experience mild gum soreness after the procedure, which resolves quickly.
