Smile Center Dentistry offers Dental Crowns And Bridges in zirconia, e.max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, and we'll walk through which material actually fits your case and budget.
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.
The full cost, including any buildup or temporary crown, is quoted before treatment starts.
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.
E.max offers excellent translucency and esthetics, making it a strong choice for visible front teeth. 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.
We assess whether the anchor teeth are strong enough to support a bridge before recommending this option over an implant. Bridges are typically completed in two visits with a temporary in between.
This step is assessed case by case, not applied automatically to every crown. The buildup is usually completed at the same visit as crown preparation.
We'll tell you honestly if a repair will realistically hold up, rather than patching something that needs full replacement. 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.
Describe the damaged tooth or gap and we'll schedule an exam and X-ray, often within the same week.
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.
We'll recommend based on which tooth is involved and your priorities between strength, appearance, and cost.
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.
Sometimes — we'll assess whether a repair will realistically hold up before recommending it over full replacement.
Most cases take two visits, with a temporary restoration protecting the tooth in between.
