Crowns & bridges
Strengthen damaged teeth and fill the gaps from missing ones, so you can chew and smile with confidence.
Crowns
A crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth to restore its shape, strength and look. It's often the best choice when a tooth is:
- Cracked or broken
- Weakened by a large filling or decay
- Treated with a root canal
- Discolored or misshapen
Crowns are also used to finish a dental implant.
Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth, or implants, on either side. It fills the gap, helps you chew evenly and keeps your other teeth from shifting.
What to expect
- Exam and plan. Dr. Pecson checks the tooth and explains your options.
- Preparing the tooth. The tooth is shaped and an impression or scan is taken. You leave with a temporary crown.
- Placing your crown or bridge. At a second visit, your custom restoration is fitted and bonded in place.
