Dental Crowns & Bridges

Restore the strength, balance, and natural look of your smile with custom-made dental crowns and bridges

What Dental Crowns & Bridges Are All About

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to strengthen, repair, and replace damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown covers a weakened or fractured tooth, protecting it from further damage while restoring its shape, size, and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the surrounding natural ones or to dental implants.

Both crowns and bridges restore full function allowing you to chew, speak, and smile comfortably again while maintaining the alignment and structure of your bite.

We carefully color-match and contour every restoration to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth — so no one can tell where your restoration begins or ends. Your smile stays balanced, confident, and completely natural.

High-Quality Materials

Smilesdotcom uses only premium, medical-grade materials such as porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic for strength and aesthetics. These materials resist staining, maintain brightness, and provide durability for years to come.

Pain-Free, Comfortable Care

From preparation to final fitting, our process is gentle and efficient. We use advanced anesthetic techniques and modern tools to ensure your comfort throughout your visit — without the stress or discomfort of traditional methods.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting dental crowns or bridges at Smilesdotcom Dental Clinic is a comfortable, step-by-step process designed to restore your smile with precision, beauty, and function. From your first consultation to your final fitting, we make sure you understand every stage and feel completely at ease throughout your visit.

Here’s what your treatment journey typically includes:

Step 1: Consultation and Oral Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and dental examination. Our dentists assess your teeth, gums, and bite alignment using digital scans and X-rays. We discuss your concerns, expectations, and treatment goals to determine the best solution — whether that’s a single crown, multiple crowns, or a dental bridge.

Step 2: Treatment Planning and Tooth Preparation

Once your plan is finalized, the tooth or teeth receiving crowns are gently reshaped to make space for the restoration. For bridges, the supporting teeth (abutments) are prepared to hold the replacement tooth securely. We then take digital impressions for exact-fitting restorations.

Step 3: Temporary Restoration

While your permanent crowns or bridges are being crafted, we’ll place temporary ones to protect your teeth and maintain your smile. These temporaries allow you to eat and speak comfortably while your final restorations are made in our lab.

Step 4: Custom Fabrication of Your Restoration

Our dental lab uses advanced materials and precision design to create your crown or bridge. Each restoration is crafted to match the color, contour, and bite of your natural teeth — ensuring perfect aesthetics and comfort.

Step 5: Fitting and Bonding

Once your restoration is ready, we’ll check the fit, color, and bite alignment before bonding it securely in place. Adjustments are made as needed for smoothness and symmetry, so your crown or bridge looks and feels completely natural.

Step 6: Aftercare Guidance and Maintenance

We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain your new restoration. With proper brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, your crowns and bridges can last for many years — keeping your smile healthy, strong, and beautiful.

Maintaining Your Crowns and Bridges

Your new dental crowns and bridges are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth — but maintaining them properly is key to ensuring they last for many years. At Smilesdotcom Dental Clinic, we encourage patients to follow a few simple habits to protect their restorations and keep their smiles healthy for the long term.

Here’s how to care for your crowns and bridges:

flossing

Brush and Floss Daily

Good oral hygiene is essential. Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to prevent plaque buildup. For bridges, use floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean under and around the artificial tooth.

Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods

Chewing on hard foods like ice, nuts, or bones can crack or loosen your crown or bridge. Similarly, sticky foods like caramel or chewing gum can pull at the edges of your restorations. Be mindful of what you bite into.

Schedule Regular Dental Checkups

Visit Smilesdotcom Dental Clinic every six months for routine cleanings and exams. Our team will check your crowns and bridges for any signs of wear, looseness, or gum inflammation — helping to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.

Protect Against Teeth Grinding

If you grind your teeth at night (a condition called bruxism), we may recommend a custom night guard to protect your crowns and bridges from excessive pressure and damage.

Maintain a Balanced Diet

Eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D to support strong teeth and gums. Avoid excessive sugary snacks or drinks, which can lead to decay in the surrounding natural teeth that support your restoration.

Don’t Use Your Teeth as Tools

Avoid opening bottles, tearing packaging, or biting hard objects with your teeth. Crowns and bridges are strong, but they’re not designed for non-chewing tasks.

Follow-Up as Needed

If your crown feels loose, your bite changes, or you experience discomfort, contact us right away. Prompt care ensures your restoration stays secure and effective for years to come.
