When you need a crown
A crown is a cap that covers a tooth that's cracked, worn down, has a large filling or has had a root canal. It protects the tooth and brings back its shape so you can chew normally again.
When you need a bridge
A bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth. It's anchored to the teeth on either side, so it stays in place like your natural teeth. If you'd rather not involve the neighboring teeth, ask about dental implants.
How it works
- Exam and X-rays to make sure a crown or bridge is the right fix
- We gently shape the tooth and take an impression
- You wear a temporary while a quality dental lab makes your final crown or bridge
- At your second visit we check the fit and bite, then bond it in
Comfort and cost
We numb the area so you're comfortable, and nitrous oxide is available if you're nervous. You'll know the cost before we start. Smile Saver members get 20% off crowns and bridges, and our in-house payment plan has interest-free options.
