Crowns and bridges in Kendall

A crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth. It makes the tooth strong again. A bridge fills the space of a missing tooth. It holds on to the teeth next to it.

Crowns and bridges

Is this for you?

  • You have a cracked or broken tooth
  • A tooth has a big filling or cavity
  • Your tooth needs protection after a root canal
  • You have a gap from a missing tooth

How it works

1

Exam and X-rays

The dentist checks the tooth and the area around it.

2

Shape the tooth

We shape the tooth so the crown fits over it.

3

Digital scan

We scan your teeth for the lab. A temporary crown protects your tooth.

4

Your final crown or bridge

We put in your final crown or bridge. Then we adjust your bite.

At Kendall Dental Associates

  • We offer crowns, bridges and all-ceramic repairs
  • Digital scans of your teeth, with no gagging
  • We can 3D-print temporary crowns in our office

Your comfort

We numb the area before we work on the tooth. If you feel anything, tell the dentist right away.

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.
