Dental Crowns & Bridges

Restore your oral health and enhance the appearance of your smile with high-quality dental crowns and bridges. Dr. Tekle will guide you through your options and create a personalized plan to rebuild your smile's strength, function, and beauty.

1
Custom Dental Crowns

Crowns (caps) cover and protect weakened teeth, restoring natural shape, size, and strength while blending seamlessly with your smile.

2
Dental Bridges

Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants, preventing shifting and restoring your bite.

3
Natural Appearance

We use high-quality materials matched to your tooth color for restorations that look and feel completely natural.

4
Long-Lasting Protection

Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting, preventing further damage and keeping your smile healthy for years.

5
Restored Function

Bridges make it easier to chew and speak normally by filling the gaps left by missing teeth.

6
Prevent Further Problems

Crowns protect weakened teeth from breaking, while bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like ice chewing and teeth grinding helps extend their lifespan.

How many visits are needed for a crown?

Most crowns require two visits — one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to place the permanent crown. We provide a temporary crown in between.

Is a crown or bridge right for me?

During your consultation, Dr. Tekle will examine your mouth and discuss the best options. Crowns are ideal for damaged teeth; bridges work well for replacing one or more missing teeth.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia so you'll be comfortable throughout. Some mild sensitivity after placement is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
