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
Consultation & Digital Imaging
We assess your tooth or gap using 3D imaging, digital X-rays, and bite analysis.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.Digital Impressions
We capture highly accurate digital scans for the lab or for CEREC® same-day crowns when applicable.Fabrication & Temporary Restoration
A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your final restoration is crafted (if not done same-day).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.
