Crowns and Bridges Q&A

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. You may benefit from a crown if you have:

  • A decayed or worn-down tooth

  • A cracked or broken tooth

  • A large cavity that can't be filled

  • A tooth that’s been treated with a root canal

  • Teeth affected by grinding (bruxism)

Crowns can be crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and they are designed to match the color and contour of your natural teeth. If you have a compromised tooth, your Maple Dental NJ provider will help determine if a crown is right for you.

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. Without a bridge, the gap from a missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite misalignment or further tooth loss.

Bridges are often made from porcelain or a porcelain-metal combination, giving them strength and a natural appearance. Whether you're missing one tooth or multiple, our dentist near you in Belleville or Maplewood can recommend the right type of dental bridge for your smile.

Getting a dental crown at Maple Dental NJ typically involves:

  1. Impressions & Preparation: We take a digital scan or mold of your tooth to create a custom-fit crown.

  2. Tooth Reshaping: The decayed or damaged area of the tooth is filed down to make room for the crown.

  3. Placement: Once the crown is ready, it’s bonded securely to the tooth using dental cement.

Final Fit Check: Your bite is checked, and any needed adjustments are made to ensure comfort and function.

Receiving a dental bridge generally takes two to three visits:

  1. Initial Prep: We prepare the teeth on either side of the missing tooth and may place crowns on them for support.

  2. Impressions: Digital scans or molds are taken to custom-design the bridge.

  3. Fitting the Bridge: Once ready, the bridge is placed, adjusted for a perfect fit, and securely bonded in place.

Follow-up: You’ll return for a final check to ensure proper alignment and comfort.
