Dental Crowns and Bridges near Bluffdale, Utah
When life wears down your teeth—whether from the food and drinks you consume, your oral hygiene habits or natural aging—dental crowns and bridges restore what’s been lost. A dental crown covers and strengthens a weakened tooth, while a bridge fills gaps by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring natural teeth or implants. Essentially, crowns strengthen damaged teeth, while bridges fill the gaps from missing teeth.
Both are crafted to blend seamlessly with your teeth and restore appearance and bite alignment for a healthier, fully functioning smile.
01.
The Dental Crown and Bridge Process
The process begins with a comprehensive exam and preparing the affected tooth or teeth by reshaping them. Impressions are taken to create a precise, natural-looking fit. A temporary restoration is placed while the permanent one is crafted in a dental lab.
02.
Fitting Your Crown or Bridge
When your finalized crown or bridge is ready, it is fitted and adjusted for comfort and function, then permanently cemented in place.
Specific post-care instructions will be provided, and during your follow-up visits, we will ensure that your crown or bridge still looks and functions appropriately. If you have any issues or questions following your treatment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
