A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. A bridge, instead, replaces missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. 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.
Treatment order matters here — a crown placed over an unresolved cavity or unhealthy gumline won't hold up as well long-term. 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. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
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.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
