What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Although many people have heard of crowns and bridges, they may still have questions about what each restoration entails. Our team is here to give you all the information you need to make confident and informed oral health decisions.

Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are designed to restore the functionality and appearance of a single tooth. Crowns are typically made up of a durable material like porcelain and fit over your natural tooth. Our team works to match your dental crown to the appearance of your remaining teeth so that they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The versatility of our dental crowns means that we can place multiple throughout your smile, depending on your needs.
Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are like crowns in that they can restore your teeth functionality and aesthetic appeal. The primary difference between a crown and a bridge is that a bridge improves multiple teeth in a row. A dental bridge is typically anchored on either end by traditional crowns for a secure and comfortable fit.

Depending on your unique needs, our practice also offers implant-supported versions of both crowns and bridges. Dr. Tran is more than happy to discuss them with you if you're looking for a tooth replacement option.

What To Expect

At Tran Family Dentistry, we'll provide you with all the information you need to understand what the dental crown and bridge process entails and, most of all, what's expected of you. When you initially visit our office, we'll start by conducting an extensive oral exam that looks at your teeth, gums, and jawbones. From there, Dr. Tran can decide if one or multiple restorations are needed to get your smile back to looking and feeling its best.

If you decide to move forward with the restoration process, our dental team will take detailed impressions of your tooth or teeth. Our office will then send your impressions to a trusted local dental lab that will craft your Hanford crown or bridge. While you wait for your restoration, our office will provide you with a temporary crown or bridge. Once your restoration is ready, our staff will contact you and have you come in so that we can place your restoration and adjust it for a comfortable fit.

Dental Crown and Bridge FAQs

Our dental staff never wants you to feel like you can't approach us with questions and concerns about our Hanford crown and bridge services. That's why we're here to answer your questions and give you the knowledge you need to make confident oral health decisions. Some of the most frequently asked questions about dental crowns and bridges include:

Can you repair my crown or bridge if it gets damaged?

Depending on the severity of the damage, we can either repair or replace your restoration altogether. No matter what service you need, we'll work to make your overall experience as stress-free as possible.

How do I care for my restoration at home?

We recommend treating your crown or bridge the same way you would your natural teeth. Brushing twice a day and flossing can help ensure your restoration lasts for years to come. Dr. Tran will provide you with specific care instructions when your restoration is placed.

Will a dental crown or bridge prevent cavities?

Not necessarily. A dental crown or bridge helps protect your restored teeth from cavities but doesn't completely prevent them. Maintaining a balanced diet and good oral hygiene will help to decrease the chances of a cavity forming.

How long does a crown or bridge last?

Both restorations are made of durable material and can last more than a decade when properly cared for. Our dentist will examine your crown or bridge restoration during your biannual exams to monitor their function and help them last longer.
