What a dental crown does

A crown (or cap) covers the entire visible part of a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. We recommend a crown to:

  • Replace a large filling when not enough tooth is left
  • Protect a weak or cracked tooth from breaking
  • Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Cover a badly discolored or misshapen tooth

Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, porcelain fused to metal, or gold. We use natural-looking porcelain and zirconia for most patients.

What a dental bridge does

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap. The replacement tooth is held in place by crowns on the teeth on either side. Filling the gap matters: when a tooth is missing, the teeth around it can shift or tilt into the space, which can throw off your bite and contribute to gum disease and jaw (TMJ) problems.

The process

  1. First visit

    We take X-rays, prepare the tooth or teeth and take impressions. You leave with a temporary crown or bridge.

  2. While you wait

    Your custom restoration is made by a dental lab, usually in 2 to 3 weeks. Avoid hard or sticky foods on the temporary.

  3. Second visit

    We remove the temporary, check the color and fit of your new crown or bridge, and cement it permanently.

Bridge or implant?

A bridge is a non-surgical way to replace missing teeth, but the neighboring teeth have to be reshaped to support it. A dental implant replaces the tooth root and does not rely on other teeth. We will explain the pros and cons of each for your bone health, budget and goals.

Caring for crowns and bridges

  • Brush twice a day and floss once a day, especially where the crown meets the gum.
  • Clean under your bridge every day with a floss threader or special floss.
  • Avoid chewing ice and hard objects.
  • If you grind your teeth, ask about a night guard to protect your dental work.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a crown last?

With good care, crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular checkups help us spot wear early.

Do I need a root canal before a crown?

Not always. Many crowns are placed without a root canal. But teeth that have had a root canal should almost always get a crown to protect them.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The tooth is numbed while we prepare it, so you should not feel pain. Some sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal.

Does insurance cover crowns and bridges?

Most plans cover part of the cost. We will review your benefits and give you an estimate before treatment. Patients without insurance can save with our in-office discount dental plan.
