A Guide to Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges offer long-lasting solutions for teeth that are weakened, damaged, or missing. They can restore your smile’s look, improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably, and help prevent future problems caused by gaps or weaker teeth.
Understanding Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Each crown is custom-made to match your bite and look, providing both durability and a natural finish.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth using one or more artificial teeth secured by crowns on nearby healthy teeth or implanted supports. They restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking, and help prevent the shifting of remaining teeth. Modern bridges are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Advantages of Dental Crowns and Bridges
- Restore full tooth function to help you chew and speak with ease.
- Enhance appearance by closing gaps or covering chips, stains, or worn teeth.
- Support long-term dental health by preserving the alignment of your jaw and remaining teeth.
How a same-day crown is made at Westside
With CEREC technology, Dr. Zubaida Hussain can design, mill and fit most single crowns in one visit – no putty impressions, no temporary crown and no second appointment. Here is what happens to your tooth.
2 – Mill
The CEREC Primemill carves your crown from a solid block of ceramic matched to the shade of your natural teeth. Milling takes minutes, not weeks.
3 – Fire & fit
The crown is glazed and fired in the CEREC SpeedFire oven, which strengthens the ceramic and gives it its final finish. Dr. Zubaida Hussain then checks the fit and your bite and bonds it in place.
Bridges, implant crowns and some complex cases are still made with our dental lab; we will tell you which applies to you at your consultation.
Treatment Process Overview
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment from our team, who explain your options clearly. The process includes preparing the tooth or teeth, taking a digital scan (no messy molds), and – for lab-made bridges – placing a temporary restoration. Finally, your crown or bridge is fitted, adjusted for comfort, and secured in place.
Healing & Support
After your procedure, maintaining excellent oral habits is key. Be sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss once daily, and schedule regular check-ups. Depending on your case, we may recommend avoiding certain foods or activities until you have fully healed.
