Crowns & Bridges
Restoring Smiles at Serenity Family Dentistry:
At Serenity Family Dentistry, we ensure a comfortable experience for patients needing crowns and bridges. Crowns serve to repair or reshape a single tooth, while bridges are designed to fill spaces left by missing teeth. Both restorations are precisely molded and securely cemented to your teeth. Bridges additionally help maintain the alignment of existing teeth.
What Type of Crown or Bridge Is Right For Me?
Tailored to Your Dental Needs:
We offer various material options for crowns and bridges, including zirconia, porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys, to best suit the location and design of your teeth. Zirconia, porcelain, and ceramic options are particularly popular for their ability to match the natural shade of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetic fit.
Understanding the Process:
The procedure typically involves making a dental impression, which is then sent to a laboratory to create your custom crown or bridge. During this period, a temporary restoration is placed until the final crown or bridge is received. The permanent restoration will be cemented at a second, shorter appointment.

Caring For Your Crowns and Bridges
Addressing Various Dental Issues:
Your dentist may recommend crowns for several reasons, such as to protect teeth, repair a weakened tooth, cover a misshaped tooth, or to cap a tooth after a root canal.
Ensuring Longevity and Health:
It is important to take care of your crown or bridge once treatment is completed. Regular dental hygiene, including excellent at-home care and avoiding hard, sticky foods, can prolong the life of your prosthesis. Regular checkups are also important for the longevity of the crown or bridge.
