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.
At select locations, same-day crown technology skips the temporary-crown wait entirely. Bridges typically still span two to three visits: preparing anchor teeth, taking impressions, and fitting the final piece.
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.
Material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority. Cost differences between materials are explained alongside the durability tradeoffs.
Digital scans capture your exact bite so the restoration fits without adjustment. A poorly fitted crown causes bite problems down the line, which is why the scan step isn't skipped.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Whether your anchor teeth qualify is assessed before a bridge is recommended over an implant.
