A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely, restoring its shape and strength when a filling alone isn't enough to hold it together. Where a crown saves a single struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by a missing one, using neighboring teeth as anchors. Both are custom-fabricated to match your bite and the shade of your surrounding teeth.
Some partner offices can design, mill, and place a crown in one visit instead of the traditional two-visit process involving a temporary crown. Bridges typically still require two to three visits: preparing the 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 any underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.

Shade matching ensures the restoration blends with surrounding natural teeth.
