Crowns and bridges are proven dental solutions designed to restore damaged or missing teeth, helping you regain confidence in your smile and functionality in your bite. A dental crown covers and protects a weakened tooth, while a bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. At Dove Dental Group, we use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure that each restoration looks natural and functions just like your real teeth. Whether you’ve experienced decay, trauma or tooth loss, our team creates tailored treatment plans to deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

Process
1. Reshape Your Tooth: The first step in the procedure is to reshape your tooth to make room for the crown. We will also take an impression of your teeth to make your custom crown that fits your smile perfectly.
2. Digital Impressions: Next, we take a 3D digital scan of your mouth using an intraoral camera—no messy impression trays required. This creates an accurate model of your teeth.
3. Crown Design: We use software to design a custom crown that matches your bite, shape, and natural tooth color. The design is sent to the milling machine.
4. Milling the Crown: Our in-office milling machine crafts your crown from a durable ceramic block. This usually takes about 15–30 minutes.
3. Crown Placement: Once the crown is ready, we check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Then we bond it securely to your tooth and polish it to perfection.

What is a dental crown, and when is it needed?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your existing tooth. Crowns cover the visible portion of your tooth and help restore its shape, size, strength and overall appearance. It protects and strengthens a damaged or weakened tooth, often used after large fillings or root canals.

How do you care for a dental crown or bridge?
Caring for a crown or bridge is just like caring for your natural teeth: brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss carefully, especially around the base of the crown or under the bridge. Regular dental checkups are essential to monitor the health of the restoration and surrounding teeth.
