Dental Crowns & Bridges

Feel Confident in Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Bridges

Do you have damaged or missing teeth that make you self-conscious about your smile? Dental crowns and bridges are the perfect solutions to restore cracked or damaged teeth and fill empty spaces left by missing teeth. The metal or tooth-coloured ceramic dental prosthetics blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a smile you’ll want to show off. At Newport Dental Centre, our staff stays up-to-date on the latest crown and bridge installation techniques. We go above and beyond to ensure that our patients are comfortable and have quality care.

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are two types of restorative dental treatments to correct damage or missing teeth and improve your smile.

A dental crown is a ceramic or metal cap that your dentist seals atop a cracked tooth to protect it from further damage. If you undergo root canal treatment or have a fracture-prone tooth, a crown restores the tooth and prevents damage.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and affixes to the existing teeth on either side of the gap with metal or crowns. Both crowns and bridges are permanent prosthetics that come in metal or tooth-coloured ceramic to blend in with your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re considering dental crowns or bridges, you probably have some questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions that we get about dental crowns and bridges:

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

Dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years. However, individuals who practice good oral health may have their crowns for a lifetime. Generally, crowns only need to be replaced if they chip or break.

How does the crown procedure work?

The dental crown process takes two visits to complete. During the first visit, we examine the tooth and take an X-ray. We then reshape the existing tooth and take an impression to create your permanent crown, placing a temporary crown in the meantime. During your second visit, we colour-match and permanently place the crown with a bonding agent for a seamless fit.

Does the dental crown and bridge process hurt?

No, the procedure does not hurt. Newport Dental Centre does its best to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible. However, over-the-counter pain medications can help if you feel soreness after the procedure.
