Restore Your Smile With Crowns & Bridges!
Here at Rakita Family Dentistry we are very careful and considerate when it comes to dental crowns and bridges. Carefully considering when it’s the right time to use a crown and/or a bridge. The likely scenarios where you be recommend these options are as follows.
We use a crown in the following situations:
To restore a weak or damaged tooth, preventing further breakage.
After a root canal to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
To cover a large filling when there isn't enough natural tooth left.
To improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
To anchor a dental bridge in place.
A bridge is used when:
One or more teeth are missing, and the gap needs to be filled.
The surrounding teeth are strong enough to support a bridge.
A patient wants a fixed alternative to removable dentures.
Preventing teeth from shifting due to missing teeth is necessary.
Both crowns and bridges help restore function, appearance, and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges
How long do crowns and bridges last?
On average, dental crowns and bridges last between 5 to 15 years, and with proper care, they can last even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups help maximize their lifespan. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are especially durable, often lasting 10 to 15 years or more. Keep your crowns and bridges in top shape with routine maintenance for a long-lasting, healthy smile!
What is a crown and a bridge?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. It protects the tooth and helps prevent further damage, often used after a root canal or a large filling. Crowns can be made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.
A dental bridge is a restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges help restore function, improve appearance, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Both crowns and bridges are durable solutions that enhance your smile and overall oral health.
What is cheaper, a crown or a bridge?
Dental bridges typically cost more than crowns because they involve additional materials and preparation of adjacent teeth for support. The price of a bridge depends on the number of teeth being replaced, while crowns are priced per tooth.
