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.
Some offices can design and mill a crown in a single visit using in-office equipment, cutting the traditional two-visit process down. 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. Not every office has the equipment, so ask specifically when you call if a single visit matters to you.
Material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority. 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. A poorly fitted crown causes bite problems down the line, which is why the scan step isn't skipped.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Not every case is a fit for a bridge, and that gets flagged honestly at the consult.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
