Dental Crowns and Bridges
Restoring Strength and Beauty to
Your Smile
At First Town Dental, we use restorative treatments like crowns and bridges to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. These options not only improve your smile’s appearance but also protect your oral health by preventing shifting teeth, reducing plaque buildup, and supporting a healthier bite. With modern techniques and materials, we create restorations that look natural and feel comfortable, giving you back both function and confidence.
About Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap designed to cover a tooth that is decayed, damaged, or weakened. Crowns restore both the strength and appearance of your tooth, helping you chew comfortably and smile with ease. They can be crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or other durable materials that closely match your natural teeth. The process typically involves:
- Preparing the tooth and removing any decay
- Taking impressions to create a perfectly fitted crown
- Placing a temporary crown while your custom one is made
- Cementing the permanent crown in place for lasting protection
With good oral hygiene and regular care, dental crowns can last many years while keeping your smile healthy and functional.
About Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak with ease, while also maintaining proper alignment of your remaining teeth. Types of bridges include:
- Traditional Bridge – The most common type, using crowns on both sides of the gap.
- Resin-Bonded Bridge – Often used for front teeth, with a porcelain or metal framework bonded to adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Anchored securely to dental implants for maximum strength and stability.
- Cantilever Bridge – Used when only one natural tooth is available to support the bridge.
Bridges are crafted to blend naturally with your smile, restoring both function and aesthetics so you can feel confident again.
