A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. Where a crown saves a struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by one that's already gone, using neighbors as anchors. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
At select locations, same-day crown technology skips the temporary-crown wait entirely. A bridge case usually needs a few appointments given the precision required for both anchor teeth and the gap.
Treatment order matters here — a crown placed over an unresolved cavity or unhealthy gumline won't hold up as well long-term. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit with in-office CAD/CAM equipment. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority. Cost differences between materials are explained alongside the durability tradeoffs.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Not every case is a fit for a bridge, and that gets flagged honestly at the consult.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
