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. 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.
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.
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.
