What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a weakened or broken tooth.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighboring natural teeth or crowns.

Both options are designed to restore strength, appearance, and proper bite alignment.

When Are Crowns or Bridges Needed?

Crowns and bridges are commonly recommended for:

Cracked, fractured, or broken teeth
Teeth weakened by large fillings
Severe tooth decay
Teeth after root canal therapy
Missing teeth
Difficulty chewing due to damaged teeth
Cosmetic improvement of misshapen or discolored teeth

If left untreated, damaged or missing teeth can lead to shifting, bite problems, jaw discomfort, and further dental issues.

Why Restoring Your Teeth Matters

Delaying treatment can result in:

Worsening cracks or fractures
Increased sensitivity or pain
Infection
Shifting of surrounding teeth
Bone loss in areas of missing teeth
Changes in facial appearance

Crowns and bridges help protect your remaining teeth and preserve your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do crowns or bridges hurt?

Most patients tolerate treatment very well. We use gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.

What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?

Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, affect your bite, and lead to bone loss. Replacing them helps maintain oral stability and function.

I haven’t been to the dentist in years—can I still come?

Absolutely. We take a judgment-free approach and focus on helping you move forward comfortably.
