Crowns & Bridges
How do crowns and bridges work together?
Put damaged, missing teeth behind you and look forward to a beautiful, confident smile. Crowns and bridges work together to replace multiple missing teeth. Crowns serve as anchors for the bridge, allowing us to seamlessly restore multiple teeth at once. Plus, we offer same-day dentistry with CEREC technology, so you can get your restoration crafted in-house without long waiting periods.
Crowns Vs. Bridges
The Crown & Bridge Treatment Process
Preparation
First, your dentist will prep the teeth that will support the bridge. Our team will carefully reshape and contour the teeth to make room for your custom-crafted crowns. These crowns anchor the bridge in place so they are strong, durable, and long-lasting.
Digital Models
Taking a global care approach, we take digital models of your teeth and surrounding tissue using our digital scanner. By taking this approach, we get the utmost precision and accuracy when creating your custom-fit crowns and bridges, allowing for a beautiful, comfortable restoration.
Final Placement
During your final fitting and placement, your dentist will check the fit and color of the permanent crown and bridge to ensure everything looks beautiful and feels comfortable. We will cement the crowns onto the prepared teeth and attach the bridge to the crowns, completing your restoration.
Digital Smile Design Experience
Expect comprehensive, transparent care at every step. Digital Smile Design uses digital technology to plan and design your restoration. This ensures your final result matches your natural smile and accounts for your desired look. By incorporating Digital Smile Design, our team can give you a more personalized, precise treatment outcome!

Most crowns and bridges last up to 15 years, and in some cases even longer.
