Why Might I Need A Crown Or A Bridge?
You might need a crown or a bridge for several reasons. A crown is typically used to restore a damaged tooth – this could be due to decay, fractures, or after a root canal treatment. Crowns help strengthen and protect the tooth structure, while also improving its appearance. A bridge, on the other hand, is an ideal solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It fills the space where the teeth are missing and is cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.

Am I a good candidate for a crown and bridge?
You're most likely a good candidate for a crown and bridge if you have damaged teeth (due to decay, fractures, or after root canal treatment) or missing teeth. Crowns are ideal for restoring strength and appearance to a single tooth, while bridges are perfect for filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. We’ll assess your individual situation to determine the best solution.
How long does the same-day crown and bridge treatment process take?
The same-day crown and bridge treatment process typically takes about 2 to 4 hours from start to finish. This includes the preparation of your teeth, designing the restoration using CEREC technology, and placing the final crown or bridge. We strive to make the process as efficient and comfortable as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.
