Crowns, Bridges and Veneers

Restore & Enhance Your Teeth

Same-Day Crowns

Dental crowns, bridges or veneers can provide attractive, permanently fixed solutions for patients with damaged or missing teeth or other cosmetic issues. Our additional training allows us to provide solutions that restore or replace teeth and improve the aesthetics of your smile.

Crowns

A crown (also referred to as a cap) is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment. Crowns are made by first taking an impression of your mouth. The impression is sent to a dental lab where your crown will be custom made to fit your mouth and match your natural tooth color. A temporary crown will be placed into your mouth until your permanent crown is ready and cemented into place. Crowns are very durable and can last a lifetime with extra care and good oral hygiene. We have a lab in our office and offer same day crowns. We send some cases out to other labs but most of our crowns are done in our office.

Bridges

Bridges are used to take the place of missing teeth. Bridges are made by first taking an impression of your mouth. The impression is sent to a dental lab where your bridge will be custom made to fit your mouth and match your natural tooth color. A temporary tooth will be placed into your mouth until your permanent bridge is ready and cemented into place. Bridges are very durable and can last a lifetime with extra care and good oral hygiene.

Veneers

Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside of the tooth. At the first appointment, the teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. In two to three weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. The advantage of veneers versus crowns is that much less tooth material is removed, and the procedure is generally less uncomfortable. Veneers are recommended for teeth that have large fillings or little tooth structure.
