When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or worn down, a crown covers and protects it, restoring full strength and a natural look. When a tooth is missing, a bridge fills the gap using the teeth beside it for support. Both are crafted to match your smile so precisely that they simply blend in.
What to expect
1
Careful preparation
The tooth is shaped and a precise impression is taken, with the area comfortably numbed throughout.
2
A temporary that works
You leave with a functional temporary crown while your final restoration is crafted.
3
A precise final fit
Your custom crown or bridge is checked, adjusted, and bonded for a bite that feels natural.

Common questions
How long does a crown last?
Well-cared-for crowns commonly last 10–15 years or more. Good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups make the difference.
Is getting a crown painful?
No. The tooth is numbed for preparation, and most patients describe the process as no more intense than a filling.
Crown or filling: how do I know which I need?
Small to moderate cavities usually need fillings. When too much tooth structure is damaged for a filling to hold, a crown protects what remains. We'll show you exactly what we see and explain both options.
