Crowns are made to give you back the form of your tooth that was lost. When did you lose it? Most people have had their first molars filled many times throughout their life. And occasionally, the fillings get so large that the tooth loses its ability to hold itself together. And we have ways of measuring how much is too much. It could be a small crack or craze line or a filling that doesn’t look healthy anymore, and the tooth is just losing its ability to hold itself together. You’re losing the functional ability to be able to chew.

So crowns are a way to cap over a tooth and strengthen it, in some ways, give you back what you lost. The great news is that it doesn’t have to be done with goopy impressions anymore. The technology we have here at My Family Dentistry allows us to do digital scanning for your crowns. What’s great about that is that we can provide you with a service that is more comfortable. All of our crowns today for single-tooth replacement are ceramics. And we have, typically, a couple of products that we choose based on the color of your teeth. We can do custom shading and things like that to make your tooth look real. When you walk out of the office we want patients to not even recognize that they really had a crown done. It looks like a tooth and it should function like a tooth.

So crowns really are teeth that have been strengthened by encapsulating the tooth that was once broken down. Whether it was by functional break or whether it was because the fillings got too big, you can cap teeth and do it in a way that looks really good, functions really good, and really disappears in your mouth.

If you’re missing a tooth and for some reason we have to crown a tooth on either side, a bridge is going to replace the missing tooth. So it’s essentially three crowns in one. Some people have longer bridges than that. But in most cases, typically, in our practice, we see three-unit bridges. And so those are done in the same way. Metal-free scanning technology, and we deliver a metal-free restoration that’s custom colored to your teeth and really could last a very long time.

Refurbish Your Smile With a Crown or Bridge

We Can Make Many Smile Repairs

Crowns and bridges are essential for many smile restorations, providing long-lasting solutions for various dental issues. Made from durable materials like zirconia and e.max lithium disilicate, these restorations can last for many years before needing replacement.

Whether it’s for a single tooth or multiple teeth, crowns and bridges play a vital role in restoring both function and appearance. With their versatility and strength, they are a trusted option for patients seeking reliable smile repairs.

Your Treatment Will Be Comfortable

There’s no need to feel anxious about getting a crown or bridge. Our practice offers options like laughing gas or calming oral sedation to ensure you feel relaxed during your treatment.

Dental crowns can repair damaged teeth, while fixed bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth. Implant-supported crowns and bridges provide a secure, long-term solution, and inlays or onlays can repair tooth damage too extensive for fillings but not requiring a full crown. Each treatment is tailored to restore your smile with comfort and ease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges

Are dental bridges removable?

Dental bridges stay fixed in place. That’s one of the advantages of a bridge over a partial denture. It will never need to be removed for cleaning. Dental bridges also typically last at least a decade without any problems. However, if a bridge becomes damaged, your dentist may be able to remove and repair it before cementing it back into place.

How are dental bridges attached?

For traditional bridges, healthy teeth are reshaped to create what’s called abutments. The bridge is bonded to those teeth, which provide the support for your bridge. You also can get implant-supported bridges. Dental implants function as artificial roots. With implants, your bridge is secured without doing anything to nearby teeth to keep it in place.

What are dental crowns used for?

Dental crowns are probably the one restorative dentistry solution that can solve the widest range of problems at our office. If your smile has been damaged, chances are good that we can repair it with a dental crown. Crowns can also repair a deep cavity, effectively fix cracks, cover stains, and more. Crowns can even replace a tooth that is missing as part of a bridge or when attached to dental implants.
