What To Expect
A crown restores a damaged or treated tooth. A bridge uses crowns on either side of a gap to support a replacement tooth.
Crowns, considered for: post–root canal restoration, a large fracture or crack, decay beyond what a filling can hold, a worn or misshapen tooth.
Bridges, considered for: one or two missing teeth with healthy adjacent support, or cases where an implant isn’t the right fit for timeline or bone structure. Same-day CEREC crowns are available for many cases, designed, milled, and placed in a single visit.
FAQ
common questions
Can I get my crown in one visit?
Often, yes, same-day CEREC crowns are designed, milled, and placed in a single appointment for many cases.
How do I know if I need a crown or a bridge?
It depends on whether the tooth itself can be restored or is missing entirely. We’ll review your X-rays and exam findings together.
Is a bridge or an implant better for a missing tooth?
It depends on your timeline, bone structure, and the condition of neighboring teeth, we’ll walk through both options.
How long do crowns typically last?
Many years with proper care, though lifespan varies by material and bite forces involved.
