Understanding Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are often used after root canal treatment, to support large fillings, or to restore teeth affected by cracks, wear, or discoloration. They are designed to restore strength and appearance while blending naturally with your smile.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Crown treatment typically takes place over two visits.

First Visit: The tooth is prepared and an impression is taken to create a custom restoration. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your final crown is being made.
Second Visit: the permanent crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and secured for a comfortable and natural result

Understanding Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the space with an artificial tooth, supported by neighbouring teeth or restorations. Bridges help restore chewing function, maintain proper bite alignment, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.

Choosing the Right Option

Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option based on the condition of your teeth and your overall oral health.

Dental Crown

Crowns are used to restore individual teeth that are damaged or weakened but still present. They reinforce tooth structure, protect against further damage, and restore natural shape and functio

Dental Bridges

Bridges replace missing teeth by spanning the gap between surrounding teeth. They provide a fixed solution that restores function and appearance while helping maintain proper spacing and bite balance.

Caring for Your Restorations

Crowns and bridges are cared for much like natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular dental visits, help protect both the restoration and the surrounding gum tissue. Avoiding habits such as chewing ice or hard objects can also help extend the life of your restorations.

How long do crowns and bridges last?Creekside2025-06-18T19:53:04+00:00

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With proper oral hygiene—brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular checkups—crowns and bridges can last 10 years or longer. Their longevity also depends on factors like bite pressure, diet, and any habits such as teeth grinding. Routine dental visits will help monitor and maintain these restorations.

Can I replace a bridge with a dental implant later on?Creekside2025-06-18T19:53:04+00:00

Can I replace a bridge with a dental implant later on?

In many cases, yes. If you have sufficient bone density and healthy gums, you can transition from a bridge to an implant. However, this may require additional steps, like a bone graft, if there has been significant bone loss in the area. Your dentist can advise you on the feasibility and timeline for such a transition.

How do I know if I need a crown or a bridge?Creekside2025-06-18T19:53:04+00:00

How do I know if I need a crown or a bridge?

If you have a single damaged tooth—due to decay, cracks, or a root canal—a crown is often the best solution. If you’re missing one or more teeth entirely, a bridge may be recommended to “bridge” the gap. Your dentist will evaluate your specific case, including the health of surrounding teeth and your overall oral health, to determine which option is most suitable.

Is the dental crown procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the dental crown procedure. We provide options for sedation and local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience. Some soreness may occur afterward, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

What’s the difference between a dental bridge and an implant?

While dental bridges are a popular option for replacing missing teeth, dental implants are another effective solution. Implants involve placing a titanium post in the jawbone to support an artificial tooth. The choice between a dental bridge and an implant depends on several factors, including the condition of your jawbone and personal preference. Your dentist will help determine the best option for your situation.
