Dental Crowns & Bridges in Kanata

Restore your smile's strength, function, and appearance with custom crowns and bridges at MYsmile Dental in Kanata. Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace one that's missing, we design restorations that are durable, natural-looking, and built to last.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth's shape, strength, and appearance—while protecting it from further fracture or decay.

At MYsmile Dental, we offer:

  • Porcelain Crowns for a natural look

  • All-Ceramic Crowns for durability and biocompatibility

  • CEREC® Same-Day Crowns in select cases for one-visit restorations

Crowns are often recommended after:

  • Large fillings or fractures

  • Root canal therapy

  • Severe wear or erosion

  • Cosmetic enhancement of discolored or misshapen teeth

Learn more about cosmetic crowns if aesthetics are your main concern.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It uses neighboring teeth (or dental implants) for support and "bridges" the gap with one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics.

Types of bridges we offer:

  • Traditional Bridges anchored to healthy teeth on each side

  • Cantilever Bridges used when only one side has a supporting tooth (less common)

Bridges restore:

  • Your ability to chew and speak properly

  • Natural facial contours

  • Alignment by preventing adjacent teeth from shifting

Each bridge is custom-made for a precise fit and natural appearance.

Crown & Bridge Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Digital Imaging
    We assess your tooth or gap using 3D imaging, digital X-rays, and bite analysis.

  2. Tooth Preparation
    If you're receiving a crown, we gently reshape the tooth to fit the restoration. For a bridge, the adjacent teeth are prepared to support the structure.

  3. Digital Impressions
    We capture highly accurate digital scans for the lab or for CEREC® same-day crowns when applicable.

  4. Fabrication & Temporary Restoration
    A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your final restoration is crafted (if not done same-day).

  5. Final Placement
    Your new crown or bridge is bonded securely, adjusted for comfort, and polished for a seamless look.

Why Choose Crowns or Bridges?

Crowns and bridges help restore:

  • Tooth function (chewing and speaking)

  • Appearance and symmetry

  • Jaw alignment and bite comfort

  • Oral health by preventing further damage or shifting

They are an excellent long-term investment in your dental health—especially when combined with good hygiene and regular cleanings.

Caring for Your Restoration

Crowns and bridges require the same care as natural teeth:

  • Brush and floss daily (use floss threaders for bridges)

  • Avoid chewing ice or hard objects

  • Wear a night guard if you clench or grind

  • Visit us every 6 months for cleanings and checkups

With proper care, your crown or bridge can last 10–15 years or more.
