When teeth are damaged or missing, restoring your smile is essential for both function and confidence. At Hinsdale Dental, we provide custom dental crowns and bridges that strengthen your teeth and bring back their natural beauty.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, often called a “cap,” covers a tooth that has been weakened by decay, damage, or large fillings. Crowns restore strength, protect the remaining tooth structure, and improve the appearance of your smile. Because we customize every crown for fit and color, your restoration blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
When Do You Need a Crown?
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth that requires protection
- A large filling that compromises the tooth’s strength
- A tooth treated with a root canal
- Discolored or misshapen teeth you want to improve
What Are Dental Bridges?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap and restore your bite. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored to natural teeth or dental implants on either side. With a secure fit and natural look, bridges help maintain your facial structure and prevent shifting teeth.
Benefits of Crowns & Bridges
- Restore chewing ability and overall function
- Protect teeth from further damage
- Improve the appearance of your smile
- Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place
Our Process for Crowns & Bridges
The process typically includes two visits. During the first appointment, we prepare the affected teeth and take precise impressions. We then place a temporary restoration to protect your smile while your permanent crown or bridge is crafted. At the second visit, we securely bond the final restoration in place and make sure it feels comfortable and natural.
