Dental Crowns & Bridges in Dallas
Restore strength, comfort, and confidence. We design custom restorations that blend with your smile and protect your teeth long-term.
When crowns or bridges make sense
Save a weakened tooth
Reinforce teeth with cracks, large fillings, or after root canal therapy.
Replace missing teeth
Use a bridge to fill a gap and prevent neighboring teeth from drifting.
Comfort & function
Chew, speak, and smile comfortably with a durable, natural look.
Cosmetic improvements
Improve shape and color on teeth that don't respond to whitening.
What are crowns and bridges?
Dental Crowns (Caps)
Crowns fully cover a tooth above the gumline to restore strength and appearance. They're ideal when a simple filling isn't enough—after a large cavity, a crack, or a root canal.
Dental Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom tooth (pontic) to crowned teeth on either side of the space. This restores your bite and helps keep other teeth from shifting.
What the process looks like
1. Prepare & scan
We gently shape the tooth (or supporting teeth) and take precise digital impressions.
2. Temporary protection
You'll leave with a comfortable temporary while your final restoration is crafted.
3. Custom fabrication
Our lab designs a crown or bridge to match your bite, shade, and smile.
4. Try-in & cement
We fine-tune the fit, then permanently seat your restoration for everyday comfort.
Material options
All-ceramic / porcelain
Highly natural aesthetics—great for front teeth. Modern ceramics also perform well in many back-tooth cases.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal
Strong, time-tested option that balances appearance and toughness.
Gold/metal alloys
Unmatched longevity for heavy chewing areas; minimal wear on opposing teeth.
How to care for your crown or bridge
Do
- Brush twice daily and floss—use a floss threader or water flosser under a bridge
- Schedule regular checkups so we can monitor the fit and health of supporting teeth
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind
Avoid
- Chewing ice or very hard objects that could chip ceramics
- Using teeth to open packaging
- Neglecting oral hygiene around the restoration
With good care, many restorations last 10-15 years or longer.
