What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-crafted "caps" that encase the visible surfaces of weak or damaged teeth, strengthening them and restoring their form and function. At GT Prosthodontics and Family Dentistry, we offer the highest-quality crown materials, including zirconia, e.max, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and even gold upon request.

Our experienced prosthodontist may recommend a dental crown to maintain the structural integrity of a tooth with a chip, crack, fracture, or deep decay, or to protect a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy. Dental crowns can also rebuild the vertical dimension lost due to teeth grinding (bruxism), restoring your chewing strength, rebuilding your bite, and improving your facial profile.

Aside from rebuilding smiles, dental crowns can make cosmetic modifications by covering severely discolored, misshapen, misaligned, or otherwise flawed teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are aesthetic restorations designed to replace one or more adjacent teeth. They consist of one or several natural-looking prosthetic teeth anchored to dental crowns placed on teeth or dental implants adjacent to the gap. Bridges offer an excellent tooth replacement option for patients who are not candidates for dental implants.

Once in place, your new dental bridge will fill gaps in your smile, keeping your remaining teeth from shifting out of place and preserving the alignment of your bite. You'll find it easier to chew, speak more clearly, and smile with confidence once again.

Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Your Dental Crown and Bridge Needs?

Prosthodontists are dental specialists who have completed at least three years of advanced training following graduation from dental school. Their training focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, missing, or deficient teeth, making them the experts in caring for the most complex cases with precision. By focusing on both science and artistry, prosthodontists are dedicated to providing durable, long-lasting restorations that look and feel completely natural.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Restoring Function: A crown restores a damaged or weakened tooth to its natural function and appearance. A bridge, on the other hand, fills gaps in your smile, restoring your ability to chew, eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Enhancing Your Smile: Both crowns and bridges are custom-crafted to closely match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Your new restoration will deliver a beautifully natural, seamless smile.
Better Oral Health: A crown can strengthen a compromised tooth, preventing further damage. A fixed dental bridge, on the other hand, can help prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of position, maintaining the alignment of your teeth and bite.
Long-Lasting Restorations: Dental crowns and bridges are crafted from high- quality, durable materials engineered to withstand daily wear and tear. With proper care, your restorations can enhance your smile and quality of life for many years to come.
