What Is a Crown?

A crown is a custom “cap” that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores strength and helps the tooth function normally again.
  • Protects a tooth after a large filling or fracture
  • Restores function and appearance
  • Can be used after root canal treatment

What Is a Bridge?

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to neighboring teeth (or restorations). It helps restore chewing and smile appearance.
  • Fills the space of a missing tooth
  • Helps prevent shifting of surrounding teeth
  • Restores your bite and smile aesthetics

Same-Day vs. Traditional Crowns

Traditional crowns typically require two visits. Same-day options use digital scanning and on-site fabrication so certain crowns can be completed in one appointment.
  • Same-day: fewer visits and faster restoration
  • Traditional: may be recommended for complex cases
  • We’ll recommend the best option for your tooth

What to Expect During Your Visit

If you’re a candidate for same-day treatment, we’ll keep the process efficient and comfortable while ensuring a precise fit.
  • Exam and digital imaging as needed
  • Comfort measures and tooth preparation
  • Digital scan (no messy impressions in many cases)
  • Fabrication and final placement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a crown?

If a tooth is cracked, heavily worn, or has a large filling, a crown may be recommended to protect it. We’ll evaluate and explain your options clearly.

Can crowns and bridges look natural?

Yes. Modern restorations are designed to blend with your smile. We focus on comfort, function, and a natural look.

Do same-day crowns work for everyone?

Not always. Same-day options are great for many cases, but some situations may benefit from a traditional approach. We’ll recommend the best solution for your tooth.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good home care and regular checkups, crowns and bridges can last for many years. We’ll monitor them at routine visits.
