A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. Where a crown saves a struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by one that's already gone, using neighbors as anchors. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
Some offices can design and mill a crown in a single visit using in-office equipment, cutting the traditional two-visit process down. Bridges typically still span two to three visits: preparing anchor teeth, taking impressions, and fitting the final piece.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Skip the temporary-crown wait at participating locations. Not every office has the equipment, so ask specifically when you call if a single visit matters to you.
Zirconia and porcelain prioritize appearance; metal prioritizes durability for back molars. Your provider will recommend a material rather than leaving you to guess between options.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
A non-surgical route for replacing missing teeth when anchor teeth are strong enough. Whether your anchor teeth qualify is assessed before a bridge is recommended over an implant.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
