They will also restore their appearance and allow you to smile proudly once again. Our practice is proud to offer porcelain crowns & bridges in Spring, Texas.

Crowns Offer Great Results

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped structure that can repair a damaged tooth or replace one that has been lost. When a crown is used for repairs, the restoration “caps” any existing structure and provides a new body and chewing surface for the tooth. A crown that is used to replace a tooth will be installed on top of a dental implant and serve as the entire new tooth. Dental crowns are also sometimes applied as abutments for dental bridges. This helps dental bridges remain properly secured. After receiving a crown, a patient should have their appearance restored, and they should be able to chew and speak normally.

Bridges Restore Damaged Smiles

Dental bridges are installed when one or more teeth are lost or removed. These restorations consist of multiple components. Each component does its part to ensure that the bridge works correctly. The replacement teeth are custom-built to offer a natural look and superb functionality. Each end of the bridge features a dental crown, with these two crowns serving as supporting abutments. Some bridges will also use a supporting structure to help the new teeth remain securely in place. This structure can be precision metal clasps or dental implants. Bridges can be permanently secured or removable depending on the patient’s needs.

How Long Does it Take to Receive a Crown or Bridge?

The patient can expect it to take a minimum of two visits to receive one of these restorations. All crowns and bridges are custom-designed, and they must be built in an outside dental laboratory before they can be applied. If the patient is receiving dental implants, then they will usually have to wait a few weeks for them to heal before a new crown or bridge can be safely applied. Our experts will provide a more accurate time frame estimate prior to service.
