Crown and bridge restorations are likely the best solution for you if you have damaged, decayed or missing teeth. Crowns can restore your damaged tooth back to its original form and function, while bridges can replace one or more teeth. Because they are cemented onto your tooth, crowns and bridges are referred to as “fixed” restorations. Often, a combination of crowns and dental implants can alleviate the need for bridges.

About Crown and Bridge Restorations

If you have damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, crown and bridge restorations may be the ideal solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health. Crowns are designed to restore a damaged tooth to its original form, function, and appearance, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, filling gaps and preventing further dental issues.

Both crowns and bridges are considered “fixed” restorations, meaning they are permanently cemented onto your teeth for a secure, long-lasting fit. This makes them a reliable and durable option for enhancing both the esthetics and functionality of your smile. In some cases, a combination of crowns and dental implants can provide an even more effective solution, reducing or eliminating the need for traditional bridges.

By choosing crown and bridge restorations, you not only restore the integrity of your teeth but also protect your overall oral health, preventing further wear or misalignment. Our team will carefully assess your specific needs and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that provides you with the most comfortable and effective solution.

Although his staff are also terrific, I credit Dr. Nevins here. As a professional myself, I recognize others who love what they do and are working at the top of their game. Marc Nevins is an exceptional doctor and professional. I recommend his practice highly.

Smile Transformation Success Story

At our practice, we recently helped a patient restore their smile after facing a challenging dental issue involving a periodontal infection and a root fracture. These conditions required the placement of a dental implant to fully restore the health and appearance of their teeth.

The comprehensive treatment plan included:

  • Extraction and Bone Graft: To prepare the area for implant placement.
  • Implant Placement and Soft Tissue Graft: Ensuring stability and a natural appearance.
  • Provisional Implant-Supported Crown: Temporary restoration during the healing process.
  • Final Implant-Supported Crown: The beautiful, permanent solution designed by Dr. Mitchell.

We are thrilled with the results, and the patient is enjoying their stunning new smile.

We provided emergency care with root canal treatments on the upper central incisors. Dr. Nevins performed an immediate implant for the right lateral incisor and carried out a crown lengthening procedure on the palatal side of the right central incisor to ensure proper restoration. Dr. Mitchell then placed a provisional bridge to maintain function and aesthetics during healing

After a four-month healing period, crowns were placed on the central incisors, and the implant for the right lateral incisor was finalised

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Crowns and Bridges

WHO NEEDS CROWNS AND BRIDGES?

If you require restorations that are too large to fill, you can benefit from crowns. If you’re missing teeth but are not a candidate for implants or want another restorative option, you can choose a tooth-supported bridge instead. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

HOW LONG DO CROWNS AND BRIDGES LAST?

Outcomes for these restorations vary depending on multiple factors, including the underlying tooth’s health, patient hygiene and the general dental condition. Biological factors can lead to decay and trauma can damage the restorations. Even so, your well-done crown or bridge can last for more than 10 years.

CAN YOU WHITEN CROWNS OR BRIDGES?

No. Once the color is selected, it won’t change. You can polish some stains from porcelain, but you can’t use chemicals to change the color. If you want to whiten your teeth, we recommend doing so before selecting your porcelain shade. We can always match the porcelain to the rest of your teeth before installing a restoration.
