Durable Restorations with Dental Crowns and Bridges at OneSmile

When a tooth is compromised by severe decay, large fillings, fracture, or following a root canal, a standard filling is often not enough to restore its structural integrity. Similarly, when a single tooth or a series of teeth are missing, the surrounding teeth and jawbone health are put at risk.

At OneSmile, our restorative dentistry services focus on providing long-lasting Dental Crowns and Bridges that look and feel completely natural. We use advanced technology and premium materials to ensure both aesthetic excellence and functional durability.

Dental Crowns: Protection and Strength

A dental crown (often called a "cap") is a custom-made covering that encases the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.

When is a Crown Necessary?

  • Protecting Weak Teeth: Preventing a severely cracked or weakened tooth from breaking apart.
  • Restoring Function: Covering a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much natural tooth structure remaining.
  • Root Canal Treatment: Protecting a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Covering severely misshapen or discolored teeth.
  • Dental Implants: Serving as the final restoration (the tooth part) placed atop a dental implant post.

Our Material Options: We offer crowns made from high-strength, aesthetic materials, including Porcelain, Zirconia, and Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM), ensuring we select the best option for visibility, strength, and biocompatibility.

Dental Bridges: Closing the Gaps

A dental bridge is a restorative device used to literally "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It is typically anchored to the adjacent natural teeth (or to dental implants) and holds the replacement tooth (pontic) in place.

The Benefits of a Dental Bridge:

  1. Restores Appearance: Fills the gap, restoring the beauty of your smile.
  2. Restores Function: Allows you to chew and speak normally.
  3. Prevents Movement: Stops neighboring teeth from drifting into the empty space, which can cause bite problems.
  4. Maintains Face Shape: Supports the facial structure, preventing the sunken look often associated with tooth loss.

The OneSmile Restoration Process

The process for crowns and bridges typically involves two visits:

  1. Preparation: The tooth (or teeth) is prepared, and precise digital impressions are taken. We fit you with a temporary crown or bridge to protect your mouth.
  2. Placement: The custom-crafted, permanent restoration arrives from our lab. We meticulously check the fit, color, and bite, and then permanently bond the crown or bridge into place.
