Dental Crowns and Bridges

in Georgetown, TX

A weak, damaged, or missing tooth can affect more than just your appearance. It can make eating difficult and impact your overall oral health and confidence. At Berry Springs Dental, we offer dental crowns and bridges custom-designed to restore the health, function, and natural appearance of your teeth. We use the latest technology and techniques to deliver beautiful, lasting smiles.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that we use to cover a weak or damaged tooth to fortify its structure and restore its strength, shape, and natural appearance. At Berry Springs Dental, we use the highest-quality crown materials, including zirconia and e.max, to deliver durable restorations that mimic the color, texture, and function of your natural teeth. Our metal-free, durable restorations are built to withstand the test of time, enhancing your smile for many years to come.

The following are some reasons why you may need a dental crown:

To preserve a tooth with deep decay or extensive damage
To fortify a tooth with a large filling and not much structure remaining
To repair a cracked, broken, or severely worn tooth
To strengthen a tooth after undergoing a root canal treatment
To replace missing teeth by covering a dental implant or supporting a dental bridge
To correct minor misalignment or close small gaps between teeth
To improve the color, size, shape, or overall appearance of a tooth

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed restorations designed to replace one or several missing teeth in a row. They consist of aesthetic replacement teeth (pontics) attached to crowns placed on natural teeth on either side of the space (abutment teeth), "bridging" gaps in your smile. At Berry Springs Dental, we offer dental bridges crafted from the same high-quality material as dental crowns, leaving you with seamless results.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Here are some of the key benefits dental crowns and bridges offer:

Oral Health Benefits: Dental crowns and bridges protect your oral health by restoring damaged or missing teeth. They help prevent further breakdown, reduce the risk of infection, and keep any surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
Aesthetic Benefits: We custom-craft your dental crowns and bridges to match the color and texture of your natural teeth. Our aesthetic restorations will leave you with a beautifully natural smile.
Functional Benefits: Your new crown or bridge is designed to function like your natural teeth. You'll enjoy more of your favorite foods, speak with more clarity, and smile with confidence once again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ABOUT Dental Crowns and Bridges

How should I care for my crown or bridge?

To keep your crown or bridge in top shape, brush twice a day and floss daily, just as you do with your natural teeth. For a bridge, it is important to clean the area under the pontic (artificial tooth) with a floss threader or an interproximal brush to prevent plaque buildup. We also recommend avoiding biting down on hard foods or objects, such as ice or pen caps, to prevent chipping or damage to your crown or bridge.
