Dental Crowns and Bridges

• Extensive decay
• Your tooth is chipped or cracked
• Misaligned or misshapen tooth
• You have tooth stains or discoloration
• Your tooth has undergone a root canal
• You’ve had a large filling

• One or more missing tooth
• Unstable or uncomfortable dentures

If you are experiencing a damaged, weak, or decaying tooth it can be fixed with a crown cap to help tooth size, strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are tooth-colored, not white, so they blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth and do not distract from your smile.

Whereas crowns can repair damaged teeth, a bridge's main function is to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are sets of prosthetic teeth that are used to 'bridge' gaps in your smile. They’re either securely attached to implants or artificial tooth roots or get bonded onto neighboring teeth.

During your first visit, we will take your digital scans that are used to make the crown or bridge. Later, Dr. Koser will resize your teeth slightly with special dental instruments to ensure there’s sufficient room for restoration. You’ll be asked to return when the restoration is ready. During your second visit, the doctor will place your new crown and bridge strategically and check for a secure fit. Your crown or bridge may be attached to already existing implants, or they may be bonded using a special dental adhesive.

Our staff of dental professionals will provide you with a custom-made crown or set of bridges that are made to fit snugly inside your mouth and are built to last. We use digital scans, which are quick and easy rather than making you bite molds for measurements. It takes up to two weeks to finish a crown or a bridge. After it is ready, you'll be asked to visit us to have your crown or bridge placed.
