Precision Crowns & Bridges at One Smile Dental Care
When teeth are weakened by decay, fractures, or root canal therapy, or when teeth are missing altogether, crowns and bridges are the go-to solutions to restore your smile’s function and beauty. At One Smile Dental Care, we use high-quality, biocompatible materials like Zirconia, E-Max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) to create restorations that match your natural smile seamlessly.
What is a Dental Crown?
Often called a “cap”, a crown covers the entire visible portion of a compromised tooth down to the gum line. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are critical after a root canal or for teeth with large fillings that lack structural integrity.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) on either side of the space, with a false tooth (pontic) suspended in between.
Frequently Asked Questions
A crown covers a single damaged or weak tooth to restore its strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns on the neighboring healthy teeth.
Getting a crown or bridge typically requires two visits. The first visit involves preparing the teeth and taking impressions, and the second involves placing the custom restoration.
We use local anesthesia to ensure comfort during preparation. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days after placement, but it quickly resolves.
