A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. Where a crown saves a struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by one that's already gone, using neighbors as anchors. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
At select locations, same-day crown technology skips the temporary-crown wait entirely. Bridges typically still span two to three visits: preparing anchor teeth, taking impressions, and fitting the final piece.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit with in-office CAD/CAM equipment. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Zirconia and porcelain prioritize appearance; metal prioritizes durability for back molars. Your provider will recommend a material rather than leaving you to guess between options.
Digital scans capture your exact bite so the restoration fits without adjustment. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
A non-surgical route for replacing missing teeth when anchor teeth are strong enough. Not every case is a fit for a bridge, and that gets flagged honestly at the consult.
