Is this for you?

How it works
Exam and X-rays
The dentist checks the tooth and the area around it.
Shape the tooth
We shape the tooth so the crown fits over it.
Digital scan
We scan your teeth for the lab. A temporary crown protects your tooth.
Your final crown or bridge
We put in your final crown or bridge. Then we adjust your bite.

Your comfort

Common questions
How long does a crown last?
With good care and checkups, many years. Grinding your teeth and very hard foods can shorten that.
Crown or implant?
If we can save the tooth, a crown can protect it. If the tooth is gone or cannot be saved, an implant or bridge may work. Your dentist explains your choices.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes. All-ceramic crowns match the color of your teeth.
What is a bridge?
A bridge is a few crowns joined together. It replaces a missing tooth. The teeth on each side hold it in place.
