Crowns & Bridges
What Are Crowns & Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments designed to protect, strengthen, and rebuild your smile while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. At Hoffman Dental, we use advanced materials and precise techniques to create restorations that not only look natural but also restore proper bite function and protect your long-term oral health.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a custom-made restoration placed over a tooth that has been weakened by decay, wear, or prior treatment such as a large filling or root canal. By fully covering the tooth, a crown restores its strength, stability, and shape—allowing you to chew comfortably while preventing further damage. Our crowns are carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or dental implants. This not only restores your ability to chew and speak naturally but also helps maintain the alignment of your bite, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. Our bridges are crafted for durability and designed to blend beautifully with your smile.
How the Crowns & Bridges Process Works at Hoffman Dental
When you choose Hoffman Dental for crowns or bridges, our skilled team will guide you through every step of the process to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment experience:
- Comprehensive Evaluation – Dr. Hoffman will start by assessing the affected area to determine if a crown or bridge is the right solution for your needs. We’ll review your medical and dental history and discuss your treatment goals.
- Tooth Preparation – For a crown, the damaged tooth will be shaped to allow the crown to fit securely. If you’re receiving a bridge, the surrounding teeth may need preparation to support the structure.
- Impressions for Custom Fit – We’ll take digital or traditional impressions of your teeth to create a custom-made crown or bridge that fits perfectly with your bite and smile.
- Temporary Protection – While your crown or bridge is being crafted, we’ll place a temporary restoration to protect the prepared area.
- Final Placement – Once your crown or bridge is ready, we’ll place it securely and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. We’ll also polish it to match the natural shine of your other teeth.
FAQs About Crowns & Bridges
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper care and regular check-ups, crowns and bridges can serve you well for many years. Their longevity depends on factors like your oral hygiene, diet, and bite alignment. Routine visits to Hoffman Dental allow us to monitor your restorations, ensure a proper fit, and protect the surrounding natural teeth and gums.
Are crowns and bridges noticeable?
No. Each crown and bridge is custom-designed to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth. Our goal is for your restoration to blend so seamlessly that it becomes virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile—while restoring full strength and functions.
