Whether it's one damaged tooth or a gap that needs a fixed bridge, our Dental Crowns And Bridges plan includes an honest repair-or-replace assessment before committing to anything.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Dental Crowns And Bridges is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
A digital scanner captures the exact shape needed for your crown or bridge, replacing the old putty-tray impression.
We recommend material based on which tooth is involved and how much bite force it handles, not just what's most expensive.
We'll assess whether your tooth has enough natural structure remaining or needs reinforcement first.
If a crown or bridge doesn't fit right, adjustment is covered within the warranty period at no extra charge.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Zirconia is highly durable and well-suited for back teeth that handle heavy chewing forces. Zirconia crowns typically require less tooth reduction than older all-metal options.
It's slightly less impact-resistant than zirconia, which factors into where we recommend using it. Most patients choose e.max specifically for how natural it looks next to surrounding teeth.
This remains a solid option for back teeth where a slight metal margin isn't a visible concern. Cost tends to be lower than zirconia or e.max for comparable durability.
A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. We'll compare bridge and implant options honestly if you're weighing both.
When a tooth has lost significant structure — often after a root canal — a buildup provides a stable base for the crown. The buildup is usually completed at the same visit as crown preparation.
A cracked crown, loose bridge, or worn restoration is assessed to determine whether repair or full replacement makes more sense. Repairs are typically faster and less costly when they're a genuinely viable option.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Dental Crowns And Bridges at any of our affiliated offices.
A quick call starts the repair-or-replace assessment process.
You'll understand the tradeoffs before choosing a material.
Any post-and-core buildup is included in the quote if needed.
We confirm fit and appearance before considering the case complete.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Dental Crowns And Bridges treatment with us in the past year.
“They walked me through zirconia versus e.max for my case and I ended up choosing based on which tooth was actually visible when I smile.”
“Digital impression meant no more gagging on that awful putty tray from my last dentist. Fit was perfect on the first try too.”
“My old bridge was failing and they gave me an honest comparison between repairing it and just replacing it outright.”
“Post-and-core buildup after my root canal made sense once they showed me the X-ray. Crown has held up great since.”
“PFM crown on a back molar was the practical, affordable choice and they didn't push the pricier options on me.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Dental Crowns And Bridges.
Zirconia is very durable and good for back teeth; e.max offers superior esthetics for front teeth; PFM is a proven, lower-cost option combining metal and porcelain.
With good care, crowns and bridges typically last ten to fifteen years, sometimes longer depending on material and bite forces.
Only if the tooth has lost significant structure, often after a root canal — we'll assess and show you the reasoning.
It depends on the health of the neighboring teeth and your long-term goals — we'll compare both options honestly.
If the underlying fit or tooth structure has changed significantly, replacement is usually the more durable choice.
Some offices offer same-day crown options; ask if that applies to your specific case.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Crowns And Bridges before you even finish describing your situation.
We provide Dental Crowns And Bridges to Montesano patients with material options explained clearly, not defaulted to whatever's most profitable. Ask about combining a crown assessment with your next routine checkup.
