Crowns & bridges in Midland
A crown covers and protects a damaged tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth beside it.
What to know
Crowns are often recommended for teeth with large fillings, cracks or after root canal treatment. Bridges are one option for replacing a missing tooth, alongside implants and dentures.
Both are custom made from porcelain, ceramic or metal alloys. Treatment usually takes two visits, with a temporary restoration in between.
What a visit involves
Assessment
Examination, X-rays and a discussion of materials and alternatives.
Preparation
The tooth is shaped and a digital scan or impression taken.
Temporary
A temporary crown or bridge protects the tooth while the final one is made.
Fitting
The final restoration is checked, adjusted and cemented.
