Crowns
Dental crowns—sometimes called “caps”—are coverings typically made from materials like porcelain that fit over the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are commonly used to rebuild both the strength and look of a tooth after treatments such as a root canal. When a tooth is severely decayed and a significant amount of its structure must be removed, a crown helps restore its shape and function.
Crowns can also support dental bridges, protect dental implants, and reinforce teeth that are cracked or at risk of further damage. In cases where a large filling may loosen or fail, a crown provides added stability. Beyond restorative purposes, crowns are also used cosmetically to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored or stained, helping them look more natural.
Bridges
Dental bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth with a solution that blends seamlessly with your natural smile. Custom-crafted for each patient, they are made to be discreet while restoring the shape of your teeth and maintaining proper alignment between the upper and lower jaws.
To place a bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to support the restoration, which is then securely bonded into position. Often called fixed partial dentures, bridges are a stable, long-term option that attach to natural teeth or dental implants rather than being removable.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely considered the most reliable solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth caused by injury, gum disease, or other factors. The implant itself is a small titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone in place of the missing tooth root.
The implant process involves several stages. While the surgical placement of the implant is performed by trusted periodontists or oral surgeons with whom we work closely, our office handles the restoration phase. After the implant has fully healed and fused with the bone, we complete the process by placing a custom crown, bridge, or other restoration. Our team specializes in creating implant restorations that closely match the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
