Dental crowns and bridges are common dental restorations that improve the appearance and function of your teeth. Dental crowns can be made from different materials, such as porcelain or zirconia, depending on your needs and preferences. A crown is a cap-like structure that:
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain the shape of your face, and prevent other teeth from shifting out of place.
Implant crowns and bridges are a popular type of restoration that use dental implants as their foundation. Dental implants are metal posts that your dentist surgically places into your jawbone, providing a strong and durable support for the crowns or bridges. Implant crowns and bridges look, feel, and function like natural teeth, giving you a confident smile and allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
Whether you need a dental crown or bridge, we will prepare the tooth or teeth, take impressions, and send them to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of your custom restoration. Once ready, your crown or bridge will be securely placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
Dental crowns and bridges are a fantastic investment in your smile. Most of our patients can expect their new crown or bridge to last at least five to seven years after placement. However, these restorations can last longer, especially if you take care not to chew hard, gummy, or sticky foods.
Your cost for crowns and bridges can vary widely, depending on your needs and treatment plan. Placing a single crown is less expensive than filling in a smile gap with a bridge consisting of several replacement teeth. Our team will be happy to cover all the details during a consultation and answer any questions you have about your treatment.
Most dental insurance plans will cover at least a portion of your new dental crown or bridge. We can help you check the specifics of your individual policy to see what is covered and to determine how much of the cost you’ll be responsible for. We also offer third-party financing options through CareCredit.
