Teeth suffer damage and decay all the time, and some go missing altogether. If you are looking to restore your confident smile, you may want to consider dental crowns or bridges. Our cutting-edge restorations will leave you with a natural look and a radiant smile in no time!

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for restoring the function, strength, shape, or appearance of a damaged or missing tooth. In the event you undergo a procedure such as a root canal to repair a tooth severely damaged by decay, a crown is the restoration of choice, with beautiful, natural-looking results.

We use dental crowns to secure and connect dental bridges. We also place them on dental implants to restore missing teeth, delivering beautiful, fully functional teeth. Additionally, our porcelain crowns serve a cosmetic dentistry function. We often use them in smile makeovers to fully encase stained, misaligned, or misshapen teeth, with incredible aesthetic results!

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed oral device that we use to restore one or more missing teeth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth or multiple teeth cemented to abutments, which are crowns placed on natural teeth or implants on either side of a gap. We color and texture match your replacement teeth to blend in seamlessly with surrounding teeth, leaving you with a stunning, natural-looking smile.

Why Choose Crowns or Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges offer more than a cosmetic solution. They help restore damaged or missing teeth, along with improving the appearance, shape or alignment of a tooth. They also help restore your ability to chew and speak properly and help maintain your facial shape and structure, restoring your youthful appearance. You'll love the improved look of your smile!

Our restorations also work to ensure that your bite is evenly distributed. They keep teeth neighboring gaps from drifting out of position, which may result in a bad bite, also known as malocclusion. A bad bite can potentially lead to many dental problems including crooked, crowded, or protruding teeth, gum disease, severe headaches, a painful condition known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and more.
