Dental Crowns and Bridges in NE Calgary

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth and restores its shape, size and strength. Crowns are often used on teeth that are cracked, heavily decayed, worn down or weakened after a root canal.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. The replacement tooth is held in place by crowns on the natural teeth next to the gap, which anchor the bridge. Bridges are custom-made to fit your mouth.

We use porcelain and zirconia for crowns and bridges. Your dentist will recommend the best material for the tooth being treated and explain why.

1. Your dentist examines the tooth and reviews your X-rays.
2. We prepare the tooth, or the teeth next to the gap for a bridge.
3. We take impressions so your crown or bridge is made to fit your mouth.
4. A temporary restoration may be placed while your custom crown or bridge is made.
5. At your next visit, your dentist checks the fit and bite and places the final restoration.

A crown may be right when a filling cannot repair a tooth. A bridge may be right when you are missing a tooth and have healthy teeth next to the gap. Dental implants are another way to replace missing teeth. Learn more about Dental Implants. Your dentist will explain the options and help you choose.
