Restore Your Smile with Durable Crowns and Bridges
Whether a tooth needs repairing or replacing, our team designs restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We use porcelain, ceramic and metal, so the result is as strong as it is natural looking.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, or “cap”, is a custom-made restoration designed to fit over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, function and appearance. Whether it is covering a cracked tooth or strengthening one after root canal therapy, a crown gives that tooth long-lasting protection.
When You Might Need a Dental Crown
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth A crown holds a weakened tooth together and protects it from further damage.
- Large Fillings or Decay Where a tooth has extensive decay or a large filling, a crown offers stronger support than the filling alone.
- After Root Canal Treatment Crowns protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
- Cosmetic Enhancements Crowns improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Dental Implants A crown caps a dental implant, restoring both function and aesthetics.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. An artificial tooth, called a pontic, is anchored between two crowns placed on the healthy teeth either side, bridging the gap. As well as restoring the look of your smile, a bridge stops neighboring teeth shifting out of place and keeps your bite aligned.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
- Restored Function Chewing and speaking become easier once the gap left by a missing tooth is filled.
- Enhanced Appearance A bridge fills the gaps in your smile, and with them the reason many patients hold back from smiling at all.
- Prevents Dental Shifting Keeping your remaining teeth in place prevents misalignment and the complications that follow it.
- Preserves Oral Health Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain jawbone health and heads off further problems.
Our team will help you decide whether a crown or a bridge is the right answer, and give you a clear estimate before any treatment begins. We work with a range of insurance plans — see how we handle insurance and financing.
Same-Day Crowns, Start to Finish
We know your time matters, which is why we offer same-day crowns for eligible patients. Our technology lets us design, create and place a custom crown in one visit, with no weeks of waiting for a permanent restoration to come back from the lab.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
- Quick Results No temporary crown, and no second and third appointments.
- Custom Fit Digital imaging makes sure your crown fits precisely and matches your natural teeth.
- Durable and Long-Lasting Same-day crowns are made from high-quality materials for lasting protection.
The Crown and Bridge Procedure, Step by Step
Your comfort comes first at every stage. Here is what to expect.
- Initial Consultation We examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine whether you need a crown or a bridge, talk through every option, and give you a clear estimate of the cost.
- Tooth Preparation For a crown, the tooth is shaped and any decay or damage removed. For a bridge, the teeth either side are prepared for the crowns that will support it.
- Impressions If you are not having a same-day crown, we take impressions to create your custom restoration, and fit a temporary crown or bridge while the permanent one is being crafted.
- Fitting the Crown or Bridge Once your restoration is ready we bond it securely to your teeth, checking the fit and your bite alignment before you leave.
Caring for Your Crowns and Bridges
With proper care, dental crowns and dental bridges last for many years. These four habits do most of the work.
- Brush and Floss Daily Clean around the crown or bridge, and especially along the gumline, to prevent plaque building up.
- Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods Both can damage a crown or a bridge.
- Wear a Night Guard If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard protects your restorations from excessive wear.
- Keep Up Regular Visits Routine check-ups keep your crowns and bridges in excellent condition.

Crowns and Bridges FAQ
- What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
- A crown covers and protects a single damaged or weakened tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth, using an artificial tooth anchored between two crowns fitted to the healthy teeth either side of the gap.
- Can I get a crown in one visit?
- Often, yes. We offer same-day crowns for eligible patients, designing, creating and placing the crown in a single appointment rather than fitting a temporary one and waiting for the lab.
- What are dental crowns made from?
- We use porcelain, ceramic and metal. Which one we recommend depends on the tooth, and we will talk the choice through with you at your consultation.
- What will it cost, and will my insurance cover it?
- We give you a clear estimate for the crown or bridge before treatment begins, and we work with a range of insurance plans to make treatment more affordable.
- Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
- A tooth that has had root canal therapy needs protecting. A crown covers it and restores the strength it needs to work normally again.
- How do I look after a crown or bridge?
- Brush and floss daily, paying attention to the gumline; avoid hard or sticky foods; wear a night guard if you grind your teeth; and keep up your regular check-ups with us.
