Crowns & Bridges

If you have a damaged or missing tooth, we have a few options. Crowns and bridges are two of the more conservative options. They can protect and replace teeth with a minimum of work. For even faster restorations, we can create and install a crown in one appointment!

You don’t have to endure a broken, painful, or missing tooth any longer. Call Ottley Smiles Dental Center for a crown or bridge procedure now.

What Is a Dental Crown?

The top and sides of a tooth are called the “crown.” The crown is what lets you chew naturally, and it’s what people see when you smile.

When we talk about giving you a new crown, we’re talking about a customized tooth cap that covers the top and sides of your tooth. This cap gives your tooth:

  • Strength and protection against damage and infection.
  • A new chewing surface that works like your original tooth.
  • A beautiful new look, free from cracks or discoloration.

We can make crowns out of porcelain, which looks just like a real tooth. It reflects light the same way, and we’ll color-match it to your other teeth for a flawless appearance.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a time-tested approach to replacing a tooth or teeth. If you’re missing a tooth, we can put a customized dental crown into that space. It will let you chew and smile just like a new, natural tooth!

How? The bridge is an appliance that attaches to tooth crowns on both sides of the gap. From there, the bridge spans across the gap, holding a new crown in that space.

Besides letting you chew and smile again, the bridge can also:

  • Protect the tissue in the gap.
  • Keep your healthy teeth from moving.
  • Help you speak naturally.
  • Prevent uneven tooth wear.

A new bridge can be a great way to restore and protect your smile!
