What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown (also called a “cap”) covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance—making it ideal for teeth that are cracked, have large fillings, or have undergone root canal treatment.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) between two crowns. This fixed restoration not only fills gaps in your smile but also prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. It’s a great alternative for patients who prefer a non-removable option over partial dentures.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 5–15 years or longer. To keep your restoration in great condition:

Brush and floss daily, especially around the base of the restoration.
Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and exams.
Avoid biting on hard foods or objects.
If you clench or grind your teeth, consider a custom nightguard for protection.

At Riverpark Dental of Howell, your oral health and comfort remain our top priorities—long after treatment is complete. Let us help you restore your smile with confidence and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a damaged or decayed tooth that still has enough healthy structure remaining, a dental crown may be the right solution. Crowns protect and strengthen the tooth while restoring its natural look and function.

If you’re missing a tooth and the gap is bordered by healthy teeth, a dental bridge could be your best option. Bridges fill the space left by missing teeth, helping you chew comfortably and smile confidently. Schedule a consultation at Riverpark Dental of Howell to find out which option is best for your needs.

Once you’re determined to be a candidate, your dentist will gently shape the affected tooth (or teeth) to ensure a secure, natural fit for your restoration. An impression of your bite is then taken to create a precise mold for your crown or bridge.

If you’re receiving a porcelain restoration, the shade will be carefully matched to your surrounding teeth for a seamless blend. While your permanent crown or bridge is being crafted in a dental lab, a temporary restoration will be placed to protect your tooth and maintain your smile’s appearance.
