At Prestige Dental Care, we know how important it is to have a strong, healthy smile. Dental crowns and bridges are restorative solutions designed to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. Dr. Ilic and our team use state-of-the-art materials and techniques to create durable, natural-looking restorations that fit seamlessly into your smile.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
The Crown and/or Bridge Process at Prestige Dental Care
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Ilic will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether a crown or bridge is the right solution for your needs.
Preparation
For crowns, the tooth is shaped to make room for the restoration. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared for crowns. Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit.
Temporary Restorations
Temporary crowns or bridges are placed to protect your teeth while your permanent restoration is being crafted.
Final Placement
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, it will be securely bonded to your teeth or implants. Dr. Ilic will make sure everything looks good, fits well, and feels great before the completion to ensure a comfortable, natural-looking fit.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, protecting it from further damage. Crowns are custom-made to blend with the natural color and contour of your teeth.
Crowns are used to:
Strengthen teeth with large fillings or fractures. Protect teeth after root canal therapy. Improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. Restore dental implants.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns placed on adjacent teeth or dental implants, bridges fill the gap to restore functionality and aesthetics.
Bridges are used to:
Replace missing teeth without dentures. Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Restore chewing and speaking ability. Enhance the appearance of your smile.
Why Choose Crowns & Bridges for Restorative Dentistry?
Crowns and bridges offer many benefits, including:
Restoring the function of your teeth for eating and speaking
Preventing jawbone deterioration and tooth shifting
Enhancing the appearance of your smile
Providing long-lasting durability with proper care
