A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. A bridge, instead, replaces missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
At select locations, same-day crown technology skips the temporary-crown wait entirely. Bridges typically still span two to three visits: preparing anchor teeth, taking impressions, and fitting the final piece.
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.
Skip the temporary-crown wait at participating locations. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority. Cost differences between materials are explained alongside the durability tradeoffs.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. A poorly fitted crown causes bite problems down the line, which is why the scan step isn't skipped.
A non-surgical route for replacing missing teeth when anchor teeth are strong enough. Whether your anchor teeth qualify is assessed before a bridge is recommended over an implant.
