A beautiful smile is one of the best ways to make a memorable first impression. But missing teeth or teeth that are chipped, broken, or poorly shaped can take a toll on your appearance and confidence.
Bridging the Gap in Your Smile
A fixed dental bridge is custom-crafted to fill the gap in your smile with an artificial tooth called a pontic. The pontic is created to blend seamlessly with your smile and is secured by dental crowns. The bridge is anchored to adjacent teeth for support, resulting in a high-quality restoration that looks natural and provides all the durability needed for chewing.
The Process for Getting Crowns and Bridges
Placing a dental crown is similar to a bridge and is usually completed in two appointments. First, we prepare your natural tooth for the crown, which involves removing a bit of enamel so the crown fits naturally with your smile.
Next, our doctors take highly detailed digital impressions of the tooth used to create the new crown for a perfect fit. Before you leave, we will provide a temporary crown to protect the tooth while a dental lab custom-crafts the final version.
When the final crown is ready, you will return to our office to have it placed. During this appointment, we check the crown for fit, polish it, and cement it securely in place.
