First, we check support
Crowns and bridges need strength, fit, and bite balance.
Crowns protect damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth by using neighboring teeth for support. Both need careful planning.
The goal is to rebuild function while preserving healthy tooth and avoiding overload on supporting teeth.
Margins, bite, material choice, and gum health decide how comfortable and long-lasting the restoration will be.
The right option depends on tooth strength, missing spaces, gum health, and bite pressure.
A damaged tooth can fail suddenly if it keeps taking normal chewing forces without support.
Good fit or not?
Crowns and bridges are used when teeth need strength or missing spaces need restoring.
We use the consultation to confirm whether crowns & bridges is the right route, or whether another step should happen first.
Usually suitable when
A tooth is cracked, heavily filled, root-treated, or broken.
A missing tooth affects chewing or smile confidence.
An old crown or bridge has failed.
You want a fixed option and implants are not preferred or suitable.
We may treat something first when
Gum disease or decay must be treated before final restorations.
A weak supporting tooth may need root canal, post, or extraction assessment.
Large missing spans may be better planned with implants or dentures.
Full procedure
What happens step by step
Start with the real concern
We assess tooth structure, gum health, bite force, old crowns, missing spaces, and whether the supporting teeth are strong enough.
Support
We check whether the tooth or bridge anchors can carry the restoration.
Scan
Digital impressions help plan fit and shape.
Fit
The final restoration is checked for bite, contact, and gum comfort.
Preparation
The tooth is shaped to accommodate the restoration.
Scan
Digital impression—no messy goo—sent to our lab.
Fit
The custom crown is cemented for a permanent hold.
Aftercare and maintenance
We give you instructions specific to crowns & bridges so you know what to expect after treatment.
