Crowns and bridges can be used for many different aspects. Sometimes it’s replacing an old crown or an old bridge that has some metal in it that doesn’t look as pretty and so some patients just want to have a healthier, brighter smile and we can do that with newer crowns or corner crowns that are really going to be pretty and not show any kind of metal or anything. And then many times these patients have broken a tooth, have a huge filling in their tooth and then just need to be restored to health.
So many times this crown is going to help protect their tooth and prevent maybe from from them breaking it again or needing a root canal or even worst case scenario losing the tooth and having to having to have a dental implant or go with a bridge. With a bridge you’re going to replace multiple teeth sometimes with the bridge. With dental implants we’re not going to be doing nearly as many bridges as we as we used to as a dental profession because they’re not as easy to clean and they’re not going to be the best long-term solution.

Rebuild Your Smile With a Crown or a Bridge
Whether you need a crown or a bridge, you can trust that Dr. Phillips will use the best materials possible to create your restoration. These lifelike restorations will look like a natural part of your smile. They’ll offer a lifelike feel and function too.
Our team will use digital scanning technology and digital X-rays to plan your procedure and ensure a smooth process. While we place your crown or bridge, you are welcome to opt for sedation.
Your crown or bridge options include:
- Full Crowns – If you need a crown because of tooth decay, your dentist will remove the infected portion first. Then, he’ll place the crown. He will also use a crown to restore a cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged tooth.
- Partial Crowns – Also known as inlays or onlays, partial crowns cover only a portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. They’re a less invasive option when a full crown isn’t necessary. You’ll maintain more of your natural tooth structure.
- Dental Bridges – A bridge can replace one or more missing teeth. This restoration anchors to your natural teeth on either side. A bridge will restore your smile’s appearance and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.
- Implant Crowns or Bridges – A crown paired with a dental implant can replace a single missing tooth. An implant bridge can replace several in a row. Your dentist will work with a specialist to place the implant. You’ll return here for your crown or bridge placement.

Dental crowns and bridges are a fantastic investment in your smile. Most of our patients can expect their new crown or bridge to last at least five to seven years after placement. However, these restorations can last longer, especially if you take care not to chew hard, gummy, or sticky foods.
The cost for crowns and bridges can vary quite a bit depending on how they are used. It is not possible to give you an accurate idea of the cost of your treatment without first performing an exam and taking a set of X-rays. Afterward, we can detail the estimated cost for your dental work so you can decide on a course of treatment.
Dental crowns and bridges can be used in a wide variety of ways to restore damaged and missing teeth. We can use a single crown for repairing a tooth or, with a dental implant, replacing a missing tooth. A bridge is designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to either your other teeth or dental implants.
