Custom crowns and bridges for cracked, decayed or missing teeth, at four offices near you.
A crown caps a damaged or decayed tooth so it's strong again. A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
“A bridge replaces teeth. It is literally a bridge across a space that gives you back what you need for proper function.”Our team, from our crowns and bridges video
01We check the tooth or the gap and talk through crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, or implants.
02A digital scan replaces the goopy trays of the past and gives a more precise fit.
03Your crown or bridge is made to match the shape and color of your teeth.
04Your dentist places it and checks your bite so it feels natural when you chew.
Both are custom-made from digital impressions to match your smile.

A digital scan instead of messy trays, for a more precise fit.
Your crown or bridge is made to blend in with your smile.
Crowns and bridges can sit on dental implants so healthy teeth are left alone.
You get the estimated cost after your exam and X-rays, before treatment.
Appointments as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m., depending on the day.
Your dentist checks the tooth and X-rays first, then explains every option.

Most crowns and bridges last at least five to seven years, and many last 10 years or longer with good brushing and flossing and by avoiding very hard, gummy or sticky foods.
It depends on the tooth and the type of restoration you need. Your dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays first, then you get the estimated cost before any treatment starts.
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost, often about half. We work with your insurance to help you get the most from your benefits, and we offer CareCredit financing and a Membership Club for patients without insurance.
A bridge can replace one or more missing teeth in a row. It's held by crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap, or by dental implants so healthy teeth don't need to be changed.
A filling repairs a small cavity. If too much of the tooth is damaged for a filling, an inlay or onlay (a partial crown) or a full crown protects what is left. Your dentist will show you what they see.
A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth in a row, so you can chew and smile comfortably and your other teeth don't drift. It is held by crowns on the teeth on either side, or by dental implants.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth without filing down the healthy teeth next to it. Partial dentures are another option for several missing teeth. Your dentist shows you every option and cost first.
We numb the tooth first, so most patients feel little or no discomfort. Sedation is available if you're nervous. Some sensitivity afterward is common, and your dentist will explain what to expect.
Yes, most people eat normally with a bridge. Your dentist will tell you which foods to avoid at first, and brushing and flossing around it keeps it lasting longer.
A tooth under a crown can still get decay at the edge, so brushing, flossing and regular checkups matter. Your dentist checks your crowns with X-rays at your exams.
A traditional bridge uses the teeth next to the gap as anchors, which means shaping those healthy teeth. An implant-supported bridge avoids that. Your dentist explains both so you can choose.
Yes. An implant with a crown replaces a single missing tooth, and two or more implants can hold a bridge for several missing teeth in a row.
