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.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. That's why a full exam and any necessary cleanup happens before impressions are taken for the final restoration.
Skip the temporary-crown wait at participating locations. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Zirconia and porcelain prioritize appearance; metal prioritizes durability for back molars. Cost differences between materials are explained alongside the durability tradeoffs.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. A poorly fitted crown causes bite problems down the line, which is why the scan step isn't skipped.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Whether your anchor teeth qualify is assessed before a bridge is recommended over an implant.

"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."

Lifespan depends on material and bite habits, but a decade or more is typical.

Crowns save a struggling tooth in place; bridges fill the gap left by one already gone.
