Dental Crowns and Bridges in Eugene, OR
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling or a gap affects your bite, dental crowns and bridges provide a durable, natural-looking solution. A crown “caps” a damaged tooth, restoring its function and protecting what remains. A dental bridge fills a gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth or implants. Both treatments improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether you’re fixing a single tooth or replacing several, these restorations are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly.
01.
The Dental Crown Process
For dental crowns, your dentist will first carefully reshape the affected tooth and take precise digital or physical impressions of it. A temporary crown protects your tooth while your custom crown is expertly crafted to match your natural color and shape. Once ready, your dentist securely places and polishes the new crown, ensuring a seamless fit and natural appearance. The result is a stronger, healthier tooth.
02.
The Dental Bridge Process
The dental bridge process begins with a thorough examination and tooth preparation, during which your dentist shapes the supporting teeth and takes impressions to ensure a custom fit. A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent one is crafted. Once ready, your new bridge is securely bonded in place, providing a perfect match to your natural teeth. With proper care and regular checkups, your dental bridge restores both function and beauty—helping you eat, speak, and smile with ease again.
