A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. Where a crown saves a struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by one that's already gone, using neighbors as anchors. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
Some offices can design and mill a crown in a single visit using in-office equipment, cutting the traditional two-visit process down. A bridge case usually needs a few appointments given the precision required for both anchor teeth and the gap.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Skip the temporary-crown wait at participating locations. Not every office has the equipment, so ask specifically when you call if a single visit matters to you.
Zirconia and porcelain prioritize appearance; metal prioritizes durability for back molars. Your provider will recommend a material rather than leaving you to guess between options.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. A poorly fitted crown causes bite problems down the line, which is why the scan step isn't skipped.
A non-surgical route for replacing missing teeth when anchor teeth are strong enough. Not every case is a fit for a bridge, and that gets flagged honestly at the consult.
