What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are used to restore damaged, severely stained, and misshapen teeth, improving both function and aesthetics. A crown, sometimes referred to as a “cap,” is placed over a damaged tooth to reinforce its structure and appearance.

Your dentist carefully reshapes the affected tooth so your crown will fit comfortably and align with your bite. In cases where there is significant damage, the tooth might need to be built up with filling material to ensure a stable base for the crown. The crown is cemented to the tooth and your dentist makes any adjustments required to ensure that it fits seamlessly with your other teeth and your bite.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They’re anchored to the adjacent teeth or, in some cases, dental implants, providing a natural-looking, durable replacement that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Different types of dental bridges are used depending on the condition of the surrounding teeth:

  • Traditional Bridges: The most common type, traditional bridges use crowns on the healthy teeth on each side of the gap to support a false tooth (or teeth) in between. This type is ideal when both adjacent teeth are strong enough to support the bridge.
  • Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, a cantilever bridge is secured to that single tooth. It’s typically recommended for areas of the mouth that don’t undergo heavy chewing pressure.
  • Maryland Bridges: For minimal alteration of adjacent teeth, Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework attached to the back of the supporting teeth instead of crowns. This type works best when the adjacent teeth are healthy and strong.

Whichever options is right for you, Smile Cape Coral takes a conservative approach that preserves as much of the natural teeth as possible. Schedule an appointment today for a personalized solution to repair or replace your damaged or missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are crowns and bridges uncomfortable?

No, crowns and bridges are custom-fitted for your comfort and function. After an adjustment period, they feel just like natural teeth.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns and bridges can last between 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Smile Cape Coral uses the highest quality materials for maximum durability.

Many dental insurance plans partially cover crowns and bridges. Our team can help verify your benefits and explore flexible financing options if needed.

For most patients, the process takes two visits to complete—one for preparation, impressions and placement of a temporary and a second for placement of your final crown or bridge.
