Protect Damaged Teeth with a Dental Crown
When You Need a Crown to Save Your Tooth
- Tooth is cracked or has a large cavity that can't be fixed with a filling
- You've had root canal treatment and need protection
- Your tooth is severely worn down from grinding or age
- You want to improve the appearance of a badly discolored tooth
Crown Materials That Look and Feel Natural
- All-Ceramic Crowns: Perfect for front teeth with the most natural appearance
- Porcelain Crowns: Strong, beautiful, and ideal for any tooth
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Durable option combining strength with aesthetics
- Full Metal Crowns: Maximum durability for back teeth under heavy chewing pressure
Replace Missing Teeth with a Dental Bridge
Missing teeth can make you feel embarrassed about your smile and cause remaining teeth to shift out of place. A bridge literally "bridges" the gap by replacing missing teeth with natural-looking crowns attached to your healthy adjacent teeth.
Types of Bridges for Different Situations
- Traditional Fixed Bridges: Most common option using crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors
- Cantilever Bridges: When you only have teeth on one side of the gap
- Maryland Bridges: Conservative option that bonds to the back of adjacent teeth

Can I eat normally with a crown or bridge?
Yes! Our custom-designed crowns and bridges are made to fit comfortably, allowing you to eat and speak normally. We recommend avoiding very hard or sticky foods in the first few days to help your crown settle in.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Taking care of your crown or bridge is simple! Just follow a regular routine of brushing, flossing, and scheduling professional cleanings. This will help keep your restoration in top condition and maintain your oral health.
Is getting a crown painful?
We understand the importance of comfort during your procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain. Most patients find the process to be quick and comfortable, with minimal discomfort afterward.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last between 10 and 15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to extending their lifespan and maintaining their effectiveness.
