Crown, Bridge, and Veneers
Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. They can restore the function, appearance, and strength of your smile while helping you maintain your natural teeth and oral health.
At Newmarket Dental Health, our dentists will assess your individual needs and discuss whether a crown or bridge is an appropriate treatment option for you. Our restorations are custom fabricated by a dental laboratory to provide a natural-looking and comfortable result.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, sometimes called a dental cap, is a restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth.
A crown may be recommended when a tooth:
- Has extensive decay
- Is significantly broken or fractured
- Has a large existing filling and limited remaining tooth structure
- Has been weakened by previous dental treatment
- Has undergone root canal treatment
- Requires restoration for functional or aesthetic reasons
A crown covers the visible portion of the tooth and helps restore its shape, strength, and function.
What Is the Process for Getting a Crown?
If your dentist recommends a crown, the tooth is carefully prepared to provide space for the restoration.
Impressions or digital scans may be taken, depending on the treatment, and are used by our dental laboratory to fabricate your custom crown.
A temporary crown will be placed while your permanent crown is being fabricated by our dental laboratory. The temporary crown protects the prepared tooth and allows you to maintain normal function while you wait for your permanent restoration.
Once your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office for your final appointment. Your dentist will remove the temporary crown, try in the permanent crown, and check its fit, appearance, and bite before permanently cementing it in place.
