Overview & Treatment Scope
Dental crowns and bridges are custom-fitted dental prosthetics used to restore damaged, weakened, or missing teeth. A dental crown (often called a 'cap') covers the entire visible portion of a cracked, heavily filled, or root-canal-treated tooth, protecting it from breaking. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more adjacent missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) supported by crowns fitted onto the healthy teeth on either side. We use premium, bio-compatible materials like Zirconia, E-Max, and metal-free ceramics, custom-fabricated using high-precision CAD/CAM technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crown and an implant?
A crown covers and protects an existing, damaged tooth. An implant replaces an entire missing tooth, including the root, by anchoring a titanium screw directly into the jawbone.
Are metal-free crowns better than metal-ceramic crowns?
Yes, metal-free crowns (Zirconia and E-max) look much more natural, do not cause dark gray margins at the gum line over time, are highly bio-compatible, and offer incredible strength.
How long does it take to get a crown or bridge?
The process is typically completed in two appointments spaced 3 to 5 days apart.
