Crowns and Bridges

Living with damaged or missing teeth affects more than just your appearance. It’s the cracked molar that makes you hesitate before biting into an apple. Or the gap from a missing tooth that makes you cover your mouth when you laugh. 

Fortunately, custom dental crowns and bridges at SJ Dental in Twinsburg, OH, restore smiles and even quality of life in many cases. We custom-craft these restorations with meticulous attention to detail, using the highest quality, longest-lasting materials that stand the test of time.

When You Might Need a Dental Crown

A dental crown is a custom-crafted “cap” designed to cover and protect a damaged tooth. After a thorough examination and honest conversation about your needs, our dentists may recommend a crown in the following cases:

• Cracked or broken teeth
• Severely decayed teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Root-canaled teeth
• Cosmetic improvements
• Dental implant restoration

A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth with an artificial tooth called a pontic, anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. This three-piece unit is a secure, long-term solution that fills the noticeable gap in your smile to improve chewing and aesthetics.

Many patients opt for bridges over other tooth replacement options due to their non-surgical nature, affordability compared to implants, and the ability to achieve results in just two visits. Bridges are an excellent solution if you aren’t a good dental implant candidate due to jawbone loss.

Steps for Getting a Crown or Bridge

Getting a crown or bridge typically requires two visits to our Twinsburg dental office, and involves the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation — We examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and goals, and explain your treatment options in detail.
2. Preparation — We carefully prepare the tooth or teeth by removing any decay and shaping them to support the restoration. At this time, we’ll also determine the right shade of white for your restoration for a seamless appearance.
3. Digital Impressions — Modern scanning technology makes it easy to capture precise, mess-free digital impressions of your teeth—no goopy trays required.
4. Temporary Restoration — You'll wear a temporary crown or bridge while our trusted dental lab crafts your custom restoration from the highest quality materials.
5. Final Placement — Once your permanent restoration is ready, we ensure a perfect fit before securely bonding it in place.
