A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely, restoring its shape and strength when a filling alone isn't enough to hold it together. A bridge, by contrast, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. Both are custom-fabricated to match your bite and the shade of your surrounding teeth.
Same-day crown technology, using an in-office milling machine, has cut the traditional two-visit crown process down to a single appointment at select offices. A bridge case usually spans a few appointments since it depends on precise impressions of both anchor teeth and the gap between them.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so any underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit using in-office CAD/CAM technology.
Crown material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority.
Shade matching ensures the restoration blends with surrounding natural teeth.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
