Dental Crowns (Caps)
A crown is a full-coverage restoration designed to strengthen a tooth or improve its shape and appearance. Crowns can be made from:
All porcelain – Known for superior aesthetics and strength
All metal (gold) – Durable and ideal for certain cases
Porcelain fused to metal – Combines the strength of metal with a natural-looking exterior
Crowns are typically recommended for teeth that are broken, worn down, or damaged by decay. While smaller cavities can be treated with fillings, crowns are used when there isn’t enough tooth structure left to support a filling.
What to Expect During the Crown Process
Tooth Preparation
The dentist will carefully shape your tooth by reducing it slightly so the crown can fit over it like a hat.Taking Impressions
An impression of your prepared tooth will be taken and sent to the dental lab, where a skilled technician will create a custom crown that fits perfectly.Crown Placement
Once your crown returns from the lab, it will be permanently cemented onto your tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
Crowns are an excellent solution for restoring damaged teeth, offering both strength and a natural look that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. A bridge works by placing a replacement tooth (or teeth) in the gap, which is supported by crowns on the natural teeth on either side.
Bridges offer a permanent and stable solution to restore your smile, improve your ability to chew, and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
With a well-made bridge, you can enjoy:
A complete, natural-looking smile that fills in gaps
Improved chewing and speech
Long-lasting stability with proper care
