What Is A Crown And Bridge?
A crown and bridge, often referred to as a fixed bridge, is a dental solution that combines a custom replacement tooth with one or two specially designed crowns known as abutment crowns. The replacement tooth is crafted to fill the gap left by a missing tooth, restoring both appearance and function. The abutment crowns are placed over the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, providing essential stability and support for the entire prosthetic. This approach ensures that the bridge functions effectively while maintaining a natural look, allowing you to enjoy a complete and confident smile.
What To Expect
Typically, a full crown and bridge procedure can be completed in just two visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Alan Mead or one of our other Pasadena dentists will start designing your restoration while our team prepares your teeth. While your permanent bridge is being crafted in our lab, you'll wear temporary crowns to protect your abutment teeth. Once your bridge is ready, you'll return to our office to have the temporary crowns removed and your permanent prosthetic securely placed.
Alternative Options to Traditional Crowns and Bridges
Alongside our custom-made crowns and bridges, we provide alternative solutions such as partial dentures and implant-supported prosthetics. Depending on your unique needs, these options may deliver even better results. Partial dentures can replace multiple missing teeth, while dental implants are versatile enough to restore anything from a single tooth to an entire row of teeth. In either case, you can look forward to enjoying a complete smile once again.
Which Solution Is Best for You?
During a dedicated consultation at our Pasadena dental office, our team will conduct a comprehensive oral health exam and provide a personalized treatment recommendation based on your results. If you have any questions about our recommendations, please don’t hesitate to ask. We want to ensure you fully understand how we can assist you before you make any decisions, whether it's for a simple crown and bridge or another service.
