How Crowns and Bridges Are Placed
The consultation for crowns and bridges starts with preparation of the tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel and obtaining a digital impression. This impression is sent to our dental laboratory to fabricate the restoration, which takes a few days. Once ready, the teeth are prepared and a suitable etching liquid is applied to enable perfect adhesion. After bonding with dental adhesives and hardening using a curing light, we perform a bite test to ensure the restoration doesn’t affect your natural bite. Finally, the crown or bridge is polished to enhance its appearance.
Why Crowns and Bridges Are Essential
Dental crowns provide long-lasting restoration for missing, cracked, broken, fractured, or chipped teeth while improving appearance and covering severely discolored teeth. Bridges offer a simple, permanent way to replace missing teeth without surgery, using tooth-colored ceramic material that looks natural. Both restorations improve oral functionality, address speech impairment, support dental health by preventing teeth shifting, resolve bite issues, and prevent jawbone deterioration.
Advanced Restorative Solutions
Dental crowns are cap-like restorations that bring compromised teeth back to normal shape and size, placed on top of teeth to improve appearance and functionality. Dental bridges comprise one or more artificial teeth that replace missing natural teeth, attached to dental crowns that anchor the bridges. Both procedures are less-invasive, straightforward, and require only simple brushing and flossing for maintenance, completed in just two appointments.

Crowns and bridges don’t require elaborate care and maintenance. Regular brushing and flossing are enough to keep the restoration in place. For bridges, special floss threaders or water flossers help clean under the bridge. Avoid chewing hard objects and maintain regular dental visits.
Yes, crowns often support dental bridges. When replacing missing teeth with a bridge, crowns are placed on the teeth on either side of the gap to anchor and hold the artificial teeth securely in place. This combination provides excellent stability and function.
