What to Expect With Crowns & Bridges
When you choose Dr. Bob's Dental Care in Amherst, NY, you can expect expert care and a smooth, two-visit process. During your first appointment, Dr. Dr. Bob will prepare the affected tooth or teeth, take highly accurate impressions, and send them to our trusted dental lab. At your second visit, your custom-made crown or bridge will be securely placed and precisely adjusted to ensure lasting comfort, function, and a natural appearance—leaving you with a strong, confident smile.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-designed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by literally “bridging” the gap between natural teeth. At Dr. Bob's Dental Care, we create bridges that are both beautiful and durable, restoring function and preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.
A traditional bridge includes one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth or dental implants (called abutments). Dental bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak properly and maintain the natural structure of your bite. With expert craftsmanship and personalized care from Dr. Bob, your bridge will feel like a natural part of your smile.
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are protective caps placed over teeth that are damaged, weakened, or cosmetically compromised. Whether you need to restore a tooth after a root canal, cover a large filling, or improve the look of a discolored or misshapen tooth, a custom crown offers a reliable and attractive solution.
At Dr. Bob's Dental Care, we use high-quality materials to create crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Each crown is tailored for a perfect fit and appearance, enhancing both your oral health and your smile.
Crowns are ideal for:
- Protecting a cracked or weakened tooth
- Restoring a tooth with a large filling
- Anchoring a dental bridge
- Covering a dental implant
- Enhancing the shape, color, or alignment of a tooth
With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years—providing strength, stability, and lasting beauty.
The Role of Temporary Crowns
While your final crown or bridge is being crafted, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your prepared tooth. This temporary solution maintains the space, helps prevent sensitivity, and allows you to eat and speak comfortably.
At your follow-up visit, the temporary crown is removed and replaced with your custom permanent restoration. Dr. Dr. Bob will ensure a secure, comfortable fit and make any necessary adjustments. Following care instructions for your temporary crown will help ensure the best outcome for your final result.
