Dental crowns & bridges in Orlando, FL
Strong, natural-looking crowns & bridges to restore your smile.
Whether you've cracked a tooth, have a large filling, or are missing a tooth completely, custom crowns and bridges can restore strength, function, and confidence in your smile.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom cap that fully covers a tooth above the gumline. Crowns are used when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, worn down, or has had a root canal, and needs extra protection and support.
- • Protects weakened or cracked teeth
- • Restores shape, color, and function
- • Often used after root canal therapy
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a series of connected crowns that replaces one or more missing teeth. The teeth next to the gap help support the bridge, filling in the space with a natural-looking replacement.
- • Replaces one or more missing teeth
- • Helps keep neighboring teeth from shifting
- • Restores chewing and speaking ability
What to expect during crown or bridge treatment
- 1. Exam & planning. We evaluate your teeth, bite, and X-rays to determine whether a crown, bridge, implant, or other option best fits your needs.
- 2. Tooth preparation. The supporting tooth or teeth are gently reshaped so the crown or bridge can fit securely and comfortably.
- 3. Impressions & shade. We take impressions or digital scans and select a shade that matches your natural teeth.
- 4. Temporary crown/bridge. A temporary restoration protects your tooth while the lab fabricates your custom crown or bridge.
- 5. Final fit & cementation. At your next visit, we check the fit, bite, and appearance, make any adjustments, and permanently cement your new restoration.
Caring for crowns and bridges
With good home care and regular checkups, crowns and bridges can last many years. It's still important to brush and floss around them daily and see your dentist for routine exams and cleanings.
- • Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush
- • Clean around the gumline and between teeth daily
- • Avoid chewing ice, pens, or very hard foods
- • Visit us regularly to monitor fit and integrity
Exact fees vary based on materials, number of teeth involved, and case complexity. You'll receive a written estimate before treatment begins.
