CEREC® Same-Day Crowns — Using advanced digital scanning and in-office milling, we can design and create your custom crown right here in our practice. In many cases, you can have your tooth restored in a single visit without the need for a temporary crown or a second appointment. It’s a streamlined approach to comfortable, natural-looking dentistry.
Traditional Dental Crowns — The traditional crown process involves reshaping a damaged tooth and taking impressions of it, which are sent to an offsite dental lab to create a new custom crown. A temporary crown is placed over the tooth in the meantime to protect it. Once the permanent crown arrives, we remove the temporary and cement it in place to restore the patient’s smile.
How do I know I need a crown or bridge?
A crown is a custom tooth-colored cap that fits over a single tooth and blends with the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges are two or more crowns that bridge together to replace missing teeth. Dental crowns can be used on your natural or damaged teeth or be placed on a dental implant to act as a replacement tooth. Dental bridges solely replace missing teeth. If you’re uncertain which restoration is right for you, Dr. Henderson or Dr. Evans can examine and help determine the best restoration for your teeth.
Can an existing crown be used for a bridge?
Even though crowns and bridges can restore damaged or missing teeth, an existing crown can’t be used for a bridge. Crowns and bridges differ in the way they are created and placed. Crowns are only for a single tooth, whereas dental bridges have a crown on each end to provide comfort and support to the replacement in between.
How long do bridges and crowns last?
With good care, crowns and bridges can last five to ten years or longer! Both crowns and bridges are meant to be long-lasting options to replace or fix missing or damaged teeth. Practicing good oral hygiene like brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and coming in for routine cleanings and exams can help restorations like crowns and bridges last longer. When you visit our office to find a solution for missing or damaged teeth, we’ll evaluate all your options, including dentures or bridges.
