What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Both dental crowns and bridges are prosthetic appliances used to replace damaged or missing teeth respectively. A dental crown fits over the tooth, either covering it completely or capping it partially, whereas a bridge replaces a missing tooth and is anchored in place by dental crowns on either side.

In other words, a bridge is used to span gaps left by missing teeth, whereas a dental crown is primarily used to protect teeth that have been weakened by decay or damage.

Are They Right for Me?

Both crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged teeth. However, they are used in different ways. A dental crown is used when a person has a single damaged tooth. The crown fits over the entire tooth and is used to restore the tooth’s shape, size, and appearance.

On the other hand, a dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge, which is referred to as a “fixed bridge” because the prosthetic teeth are not removable, is anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap.

Both these restorations are quite simple and long-lasting.

How Are They Made?

Crowns can be made from many different types of materials, including porcelain, gold, alloys, and composites. They are custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly. Some crowns are made in one piece, while other crowns are made in multiple pieces so that they can be attached to the tooth more easily.

Bridges are false teeth that take the place of missing teeth. They are sometimes used when a person is missing one or more teeth in a row. Bridges have crowns that are cemented onto teeth on each side of the space, and the artificial tooth attached to the crowns covers the gap. Both bridges and crowns are made of strong, durable ceramic material that will look and feel like your natural teeth. Since crowns and bridges are permanent restorations, they will last longer than dental fillings.

Crowns and bridges require two dental visits. During the first visit, we will prepare the tooth or teeth receiving treatment. In some cases, we will need to remove a small amount of the enamel to allow room for the crown or bridge.

Then, we will take an impression of your teeth. This impression will be sent to our dental lab where your custom crown or bridge will be fabricated. During your second visit, we will place the crown or bridge over your teeth and make any adjustments as needed. Both bridges and crowns will last for many years with proper care.

Elizabeth Grosskopf

I had an emergency tooth issue and as always they are the best.

Theresa Buntyn

Had a little bit of a rocky start, but they did whatever they could to fix it. The staff are very friendly and professional. They set me up with Petie who took care of me the rest of the way. She is an absolute artist and I appreciate everything she did for me. She deserves a huge raise!

Christy Tanaiewski

I cracked a premolar in half. I’ve had a lifetime of dental fear, for good reason. I was super nervous to see a new dentist to extract this tooth. But, Dr. Umphlett was awesome. She managed to not only numb me up but noticed when I started to feel anything. I knew right away that I was in good hands. She explained everything in great detail. Even with my decades of dental trauma, I feel completely comfortable seeing her again and again. Thanks Dr. Umphlett!

Joni Mattice OH-Milford

Roberta Lacey

Dr Moore and Ally are great. I have been seeing Dr Moore for many years. Does a fantastic job keeping my teeth in great shape with all my crowns

Daneille Root

Went in for emergency visit. Front Desk was very welcoming. Dr Moore was amazing, explained everything clearly. I was very nervous and embarrassed but ended up feeling very comfortable. I hope to continue my dental journey with Dr Moore. Highly recommend him. They offered me a discount program through their clinic, that I decided to go with as I have no insurance. I hope they stay true to that as I have seen some negative reviews on this, I guess we will see on that part. Overall my first two visits have been great.

Jena Foster

Ive been suffering with dental anxiety. I want to say, everyone, from the front to the Dr, to the billing agent were transparent, and Extremely nice and caring. After some bad experiences with Comfort Dental and some Dr on Zoc-Doc, I think I’ve found my dental home. They have a plan and we are starting soon.

So I went in in incredibly bad pain. All my teeth hurt, and I clearly had been in a loosing battle with my teeth. I felt defeated. Quinn got me in talked to me. Then Dr Hill came in and talked to me. At no point did anyone make me fell bad or anything, in fact they made me feel welcome and good about myself. So I pulled the trigger on their Diamond smile service. (50 grand). And at first it seems like alot of money. But after I had the surgery and was on my way to healing. I felt better about myself and more confident, and my Happiness had returned but in a stronger way. Now I look at the price and feel it was just pennies. My Happiness n health is priceless!!! And I can only say thank you n pay my bill as I feel like a new person, better looking stronger and healthier. Priceless!!.
