Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments designed to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, providing strength and improving its appearance. A bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Both crowns and bridges are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, natural look.
Initial Consultation and Examination
Dr. McGee or Dr. Glassco will assess your dental health and determine if a crown or bridge is the best option to restore your smile. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the health of the surrounding teeth and jawbone.
Tooth Preparation
For a crown, the affected tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth may be prepared to support the bridge. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom fit.
Temporary Crown or Bridge Placement
While your permanent restoration is being fabricated, a temporary crown or bridge will be placed to protect your teeth.
Final Placement
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, Dr. McGee or Dr. Glassco will bond it securely in place, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
