Dental crowns are caps that cover teeth. They protect and strengthen teeth and improve their appearance. A crown may be right for you if you have a severely chipped or damaged tooth.
Dental crowns can:
These benefits can help restore a tooth and preserve the overall health of your mouth.
You’ve decided to use dental crowns to restore your beautiful smile. What comes next?
A tooth with serious damage will continue to decay unless you take corrective action. Dental crowns allow us to avoid extracting a damaged tooth, which can be painful and require a lengthy healing time. We also want to protect the root of the tooth.
Dental crowns are strong and fit into place easily. Dental crowns need routine brushing and flossing to remain strong and healthy.
If you chew hard foods such as ice or candies, there is a risk of breaking the dental crown and your other teeth. When you get a dental crown, we will discuss food options with you. Most patients can enjoy almost all the foods they usually eat with dental crowns.
“Whether the pain is physical due to a toothache, or emotional due to a patient’s unhappiness with their smile, I can relieve it and change their life. It’s the most rewarding part of this job!”
“Dentistry is an art form that can enhance an individual’s appearance and confidence. This is what I love most about what I do!”
“My mission is to empower patients with education and guidance, fostering healthy, confident smiles that contribute to overall health and quality of life.”
There are four types of dental crowns used to repair or replace a tooth:
Dental bridges are a great solution for multiple missing teeth. They fill the holes with multiple dental crowns that sit on top of the gums and function like your natural teeth. Dental bridges need healthy teeth next to the gap to support the bridge.
Dental bridges are a common solution if you have more than one missing tooth. Not only are they easy for us to create, but they also help patients avoid dental implants, which can be a more expensive solution.

Dental bridges are great for people with multiple missing teeth and can also solve these problems:
We are ready to help you replace your teeth with a dental bridge.
Getting a bridge is a lot like getting a crown. Our dentists will first examine your mouth. We will ensure that the natural teeth around the gap are strong enough to hold the bridge.
Next, we will use X-rays and impressions to create the perfect dental bridge. Once the crowns and bridge are made, we will contact you to place them. At your final visit, your dentist will cement the crowns and bridge into place. You can enjoy a complete and functional smile with your new dental bridge.

Missing teeth will lead to several oral health problems. If a tooth is not replaced after extraction or loss, the other teeth in the mouth will begin to shift and move in their place. Dental bridges hold the teeth correctly, preventing shifting and other issues.
Another issue we find with missing teeth is the deterioration of the bone. Replacing a single tooth with a dental bridge can work, but several teeth needing replacement could cause the jawbone to deteriorate.
In most cases, dental bridges require another tooth or two teeth to support them. These teeth are often crowned to provide support for the bridge. We create the replacement teeth supported by the bridge using porcelain. Depending on your needs, we can also use gold and other metals.
We offer dental bridges to patients who have more than one missing tooth but don’t want to get dental implants. Dental bridges can last a while, but depending on your oral health and any wear and tear from chewing, they may need to be replaced in 10 years.
There are three basic types of dental bridges used to fix multiple missing teeth:
