A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. Where a crown saves a struggling tooth, a bridge fills the space left by one that's already gone, using neighbors as anchors. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
Some offices can design and mill a crown in a single visit using in-office equipment, cutting the traditional two-visit process down. A bridge case usually needs a few appointments given the precision required for both anchor teeth and the gap.
Treatment order matters here — a crown placed over an unresolved cavity or unhealthy gumline won't hold up as well long-term. That's why a full exam and any necessary cleanup happens before impressions are taken for the final restoration.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit with in-office CAD/CAM equipment. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Zirconia and porcelain prioritize appearance; metal prioritizes durability for back molars. Cost differences between materials are explained alongside the durability tradeoffs.
Digital scans capture your exact bite so the restoration fits without adjustment. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Not every case is a fit for a bridge, and that gets flagged honestly at the consult.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
