Dental Crowns & Bridges – Get Rid of the Gaps in Your Smile

Restore Your Smile and Reduce Health Risks

Bridges span the gap in your teeth, and the crown is an artificial tooth indistinguishable from the real thing. Using this treatment, we can fix missing teeth and reduce the risk of gum disease! Patients who rectify their missing teeth tend to feel better physically and mentally.

Not Just for Your Teeth

Poor oral health is hard on your immune system and organs, so your whole body benefits when you can replace teeth and care for them properly. Between that and the increased self-esteem that is sure to occur when you are proud of your smile, the benefits of replacing missing teeth are many.

Come into Grove City Dental, where your care is our top priority. Our friendly and compassionate dental team has been helping patients like you get crowns and bridges for decades. You are in good hands and deserve to live comfortably and confidently. Contact our friendly team of professionals and book your next appointment today.

Restoring Your Smile's Natural Beauty

Each of our 32 natural teeth was designed and positioned to share the task of chewing and smiling with incredible beauty and efficiency. Crowns and bridges were developed to restore damaged or missing teeth back to their natural beauty and performance.

The Purpose of Crowns

A crown – sometimes called a cap – is usually made of gold, porcelain, or unique plastic material. We prepare the tooth for an impression and plaster model so our dental laboratory can create a custom-fitted crown that looks and functions like your natural tooth. Once we permanently cement the new crown into place, your smile will look, feel, and work exactly as nature designed it to. Following the crown placement, the 'crown and bridge procedure' may be recommended if you have one or more missing teeth. This procedure involves creating a bridge that spans the area of the missing tooth, anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.

The Role of Bridges

A bridge is a combination of crowns and artificial teeth. Bridges can close the gap left by one or more missing teeth in a row, restoring the look of your smile and redistributing the workload more evenly. Others are permanently bonded to your healthy teeth with crowns. Sometimes, we suggest an artificial tooth implanted right into your jawbone.

Preventive Treatment and Cost Savings

Sometimes we can use crowns and bridges to prevent damage along with more extensive and costly dental work. For example, if we wait until a large filling falls apart, we risk weakening the tooth's nerve or fracturing the root. Early, preventive treatment on a high-risk tooth saves time and money and may also save your tooth.
