Ceramic Crowns and Bridges
Restoring the strength, function, and beauty of your smile with precision-crafted restorations.
Understanding Ceramic Crowns and Bridges
Ceramic Crowns: A crown, or “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Made from high-strength dental ceramic, it restores the tooth’s original shape, size, and strength while protecting it from further damage.
Ceramic Bridges: A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
These restorations are essential for maintaining the health and function of your smile.
Restores Damaged Teeth
A crown can save a tooth that is cracked, severely decayed, or has had a root canal.
Replaces Missing Teeth
A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting and causing bite problems.
Superior Aesthetics
All-ceramic restorations are metal-free and mimic the translucency of natural enamel, providing a beautiful, seamless look.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Modern dental ceramics are incredibly strong and resilient, designed to withstand the forces of daily chewing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bridge a permanent solution?
A fixed bridge is permanently cemented in place and is not removable. It is designed to be a long-term solution.
How many teeth can a bridge replace?
A bridge can typically replace one to three consecutive missing teeth, depending on the health of the supporting teeth.
What happens to the tooth under the crown?
The tooth remains, but it is protected from further damage by the crown. You must keep the area around the gum line clean to protect the root of the tooth.
Can the color of my crown be matched to my other teeth?
Yes. One of the greatest benefits of ceramic is the ability to custom-shade and characterize it to blend flawlessly with your adjacent teeth.
