Restoring Strength and Function

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. We use high-quality materials to create crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetic appeal.

Reasons You Might Need a Dental Crown:

To protect a weakened tooth: Following a root canal or extensive decay.
To restore a fractured or broken tooth: Rebuilding the tooth's structure.
To cover a dental implant: Providing a natural-looking replacement tooth.
To improve the aesthetics of a discolored or misshapen tooth: Enhancing your smile's appearance.
To support a large filling: When there is not enough tooth structure left.
To treat teeth with deep cracks: Preventing symptomatic cracked tooth syndrome.

Bridging the Gap in Your Smile

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a restoration method used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth (abutment teeth). Bridges help restore your smile’s functionality and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge:

What is the process?

At Atlantic Dental Center, our dental crown and bridge process is designed for both comfort and efficiency, ensuring you receive a durable and natural-looking restoration.

Consultation and Exam

It begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination, including necessary X-rays, to assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation

If a crown is needed, the affected tooth will be prepared by gently removing a small amount of enamel, while for a bridge, the abutment teeth undergo similar preparation. We then take precise impressions of your teeth, which are used to fabricate your custom-made crown or bridge.

Temporary Restoration

Most of the time, a temporary restoration will be placed while your permanent one is being created in the lab.

Placement

Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we evaluate it carefully in the mouth before “gluing” it in permanently, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Finally, we make any necessary final adjustments to guarantee your complete satisfaction and comfort.
