Crowns and Bridges

If you’re struggling with weak or missing teeth, crowns and bridges could be just what you need to regain comfort and confidence. Crowns work like a shield and reinforce fragile teeth, while bridges fill the spaces left by tooth loss to complete your smile.

What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are ceramic caps that cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their strength and look. On the other hand, bridges replace one or more lost teeth by securely attaching artificial teeth to the neighboring natural teeth or implants.

At East Brainerd Dentistry, we use advanced CAD/CAM technology to take precise digital impressions of your teeth, which allow us to design crowns and bridges that fit perfectly and look natural.

When Do I Need Dental Bridges and Dental Crowns?

You may need a crown or bridge if you:

  • Have a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth
  • Need to protect a tooth after a root canal
  • Want to restore a broken or worn-down tooth
  • Need to replace one or more missing teeth
  • Wish to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth

How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?

The longevity of crowns and bridges depends on factors such as your oral hygiene, diet, and whether you engage in habits like grinding your teeth. Try to book dental check-ups and cleanings every six months at our office to ensure that your crowns and bridges remain in excellent condition.
