A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely, restoring its shape and strength when a filling alone isn't enough to hold it together. A bridge, by contrast, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. Both are custom-fabricated to match your bite and the shade of your surrounding teeth.
Some partner offices can design, mill, and place a crown in one visit instead of the traditional two-visit process involving a temporary crown. Bridges typically still require two to three visits: preparing the anchor teeth, taking impressions, and fitting the final piece.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so any underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. That's why a full exam and any necessary cleanup happens before impressions are taken for the final restoration.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit using in-office CAD/CAM technology.
Crown material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority.
Shade matching ensures the restoration blends with surrounding natural teeth.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
