What Is a Dental Crown and Bridge?

Dental Crowns of Superior Quality

A dental crown, or cap, is a strong ceramic covering your dentist places over a damaged natural tooth. A dental crown restores the tooth’s function, providing long-lasting support and strength.
Many patients and dentists alike appreciate the versatility of a dental crown because it can correct several problems: 

  • Fractured or broken teeth
  • Teeth weakened by root canal therapy
  • Large or broken fillings
  • Severely decayed teeth
  • Worn teeth due to bruxism

Ultimately, a dental crown reinforces structural stability and functionality. We may also use dental crowns for cosmetic modifications, such as concealing discoloration, mild misalignments, or misshapen teeth. Crowns can also hold a dental bridge in place or cover dental implants. 

Let Us Bridge the Gap in Your Smile

A dental bridge replaces one tooth or several consecutive missing teeth. This prosthetic essentially “bridges” the gap between teeth and reduces the risk of additional tooth loss, gum disease, and oral infection.

A bridge typically consists of a single unit held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth, and it restores your smile’s appearance and function.

Modern Technology for Exceptional Results

At Palms Dental, we use modern technology to provide fast and accurate outcomes that meet your unique needs. Once Dr. Stock develops a treatment plan, he starts the process by taking a digital scan of your mouth. Based on these detailed 3-D images, he designs a restoration for you that matches the size, shape, and shade of your natural teeth.

The system we use is called PlanScan®, which relies on computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to design and fabricate customized restorations digitally.

If you get a same-day crown, Dr. Stock mills it here in our dental office using our high-speed PlanMill® machine. Otherwise, he sends your case information to a trusted dental laboratory––one of the best in the country––where a specialist creates your prosthetic. Both options guarantee fast turnarounds so you can enjoy your new smile in no time!

Reclaim Your Smile with Crowns and Bridges in Bradenton

Palms Dental is a state-of-the-art practice where patients can expect the highest quality dentistry. Every crown and bridge we design is tailored to meet your needs and surpass your aesthetic and functional expectations. We are an amalgam-free dental practice, so you never have to worry about your restorations leaving dark or gray lines on your teeth or gums. 

Our goal is to ensure your restoration looks, feels, and performs just like natural teeth. Not only should your restoration be comfortable, but it should also seamlessly blend in with surrounding teeth, creating a harmonious and symmetrical smile. 

Contact us today to schedule your crown or bridge consultation with Dr. Stock. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Many of our patients are candidates for same-day dental crowns. However, some patients may require a traditional crown fabricated by our state-of-the-art dental laboratory partners. 

Your Initial Consultation

Before treatment begins, Dr. Stock reviews your medical history, and you have a chance to discuss your oral health and cosmetic concerns, as well as your goals regarding your new smile.

As with same-day crowns, Dr. Stock digitally scans your tooth using advanced dental technology. Often, we can send your case to our trusted dental lab on the same day. 

The Dental Laboratory 

The dental laboratory we collaborate with is one of the most advanced in the country. A restoration lab specialist uses the provided case information to create a fully customized dental crown of the precise size, shape, and color desired. While your final crown is being made, we supply you with a temporary crown so you can chew, eat, speak, and smile with ease. 

The Final Product

Once the crown is complete, the lab sends it to us, and we call you in for an appointment to place it on your tooth. During this appointment, we make sure the crown looks and feels perfect for you, and we will make any adjustments necessary at this time. Finally, we secure the crown in place, polish it, and send you on your way with a new and improved smile.

In many cases, your Bradenton dentist can repair a broken tooth by restoring it with a tooth-colored restoration.

If your tooth has been knocked out, we may also be able to reset it into the gum. The key is getting to the dentist promptly!

Restoring Broken Teeth

Dental crowns are among the most popular options for restoring broken or damaged teeth. The crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over the tooth after the dentist has treated it. Dental crowns in Bradenton, FL, are made of quality porcelain for a natural-looking finish.

Veneers are also an excellent choice for concealing chips and cracks that are merely cosmetic. Veneers in Bradenton, FL, fit across the forward-facing teeth.

Dental bonding with tooth-colored filling material is also an option for minor chips and cracks. Bonding fills, conceals, and blends naturally with your tooth color.

Your dentist will evaluate your broken tooth and discuss the treatment options, including the one that will work best for your break.

Tooth Repair in Bradenton, FL

If you have a broken or damaged tooth—or if you have questions about our treatments and services—give us a call today. A helpful team member can arrange your consultation with our restoration dentist.

A dental crown can loosen and fall off eventually. However, you can take steps to keep your dental crowns functional for longer.

For example, don’t bite directly into sticky candy (or similarly textured foods) with your crowned tooth. Additionally, it would be best never to use your teeth or crowns to twist off a bottle cap or as tools. Treated and untreated teeth are strictly for chewing.

You’ll also want to visit your dentist in Bradenton, FL, every six months. Checkups allow your dentist to check the integrity of your restorations, and teeth cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease, which can mean crown (and tooth) loss.

Finally, wear a fitted nightguard if you grind your teeth during sleep and a mouthguard if you compete in sports.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that can cover a treated tooth or a dental implant post. A custom crown can connect a dental bridge to healthy teeth and conceal tooth flaws and damage.

Tooth crowns are always customized to match neighboring teeth.

For Dental Crowns in Bradenton, FL, Contact Us

If you have a loose or damaged crown—or a tooth that may need a crown—contact a member of our dental team today to schedule a consultation with the dentist.

Dental crowns in Bradenton, FL, do not require special care. However, it’s best to practice good habits. For example, brush and floss your crown and unrestored teeth regularly and continue seeing your dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.

Also, don’t bite directly into sticky taffy with your crowned tooth, and never use your treated or untreated teeth as tools to twist off caps or carry packages.

Same-Day Dental Crowns in Bradenton, FL

We offer same-day crowns, so you don’t have to wait weeks for your restoration and spend time wearing a temporary.

To create your same-day crown, we take an impression and send the specs to our computer, where the restoration is designed. Then, it is off to our 3-D printer. Once the crown is printed, your dentist makes any necessary adjustments before cementing it onto your tooth.

Same-day crowns are just as durable as those made in an outside lab. Additionally, they are fabricated from a single block of quality ceramic for a natural-looking finish.

Crowns are a vital part of dentistry and work in many capacities to keep your smile functional and beautiful. Call our dental office today to learn more about our tooth crowns or book a consultation with the dentist.
