Dental Crowns and Bridges Near You

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth to restore function, alignment, and appearance. Treatments such as crowns, bridges, onlays, and implants are used to strengthen teeth, prevent future oral health concerns, and support long term stability. At Creekview Dental, restorative procedures are planned with a conservative approach whenever possible to preserve natural tooth structure and promote lasting oral health.

A dental crown is a custom made restoration that fully covers the portion of a tooth above the gumline. Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are cracked, severely worn, broken, or weakened by large fillings. Most crowns are fabricated in office using CEREC technology, allowing for same day crowns in a single visit. These all porcelain restorations are metal free and BPA free, providing a durable and natural looking result without the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. Crown treatment may include:

• Removing decay and preparing the tooth.
  
• Digitally designing a custom crown.
  
• Fabricating the crown in office.
  
• Bonding the crown securely in place.

Dental bridges are permanent restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth and helps restore chewing ability, speech clarity, and smile appearance. Bridges are made from materials such as porcelain, gold, or alloys, with porcelain commonly chosen for visible areas due to its natural appearance. Types of dental bridges may include:

• Traditional Fixed Bridges: Supported by crowns on adjacent teeth.
• Resin Bonded Bridges: Often used for front teeth with minimal preparation.
• Implant Supported Bridges: Anchored directly to dental implants.
• Cantilever Bridges: Supported by a single adjacent tooth.
