What is the process for receiving a dental crown or bridge?
The process typically involves two visits. During the first appointment, we prepare the tooth or supporting teeth, take impressions, and place a temporary crown or bridge. A custom restoration is then created by a dental lab. During your second visit, we remove the temporary piece and securely place the permanent crown or bridge, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
How do you take care of a dental crown or bridge?
Caring for a crown or bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. We recommend brushing twice daily, flossing carefully—especially around bridgework—and using special flossing tools as needed. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also essential to monitor the restoration and surrounding gums. Avoid chewing ice or very hard foods to help extend the lifespan of your crown or bridge.
Should I get a crown or a bridge?
Whether you need a crown or a bridge depends on your specific dental situation. Crowns are ideal for restoring damaged teeth, while bridges are typically used to replace missing teeth. During your visit, our team will evaluate your oral health, bone support, and long-term goals. We’ll discuss all options with you to ensure the solution you receive provides comfort, function, and lasting results!
