Dental Crowns & Bridges
Restoring smiles for long-lasting durability, function, and beautyAn Introduction to Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are recognized as fixed prosthetic restorations. Meaning that they are both cemented onto existing teeth or dental implants. They are used to entirely cover, “cap” damaged teeth, or replace one or more missing teeth.
At Denti Belli Dentistry. we only use the best materials in the fabrication of your new restorations to make sure your smile looks and feels natural.
What is a Dental Crown?
Porcelain crowns are needed when a traumatic accident or decay severely damages the majority of the tooth’s natural structure. The crown protects the damaged tooth by restoring its strength and function. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can improve appearance, shape, or alignment.
A crown may be recommended to:
- Replace a large filling when not enough natural tooth structure remains
- Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Cover a dental implant
- Cover a root canal treated tooth
- Cover a discolored or misaligned tooth
- Be an anchor for a bridge
Denti Belli Dentistry only uses high-quality porcelain (tooth-colored) crowns to create natural-looking results while restoring your tooth’s anatomy, bite, and structure. Working closely with her dental lab, Dr. Taylor ensures your new crown fits, feels, and functions precisely with your smile, looking natural and lifelike. Hardly anyone will notice you’ve received dental work.
What are Dental Bridges?
Missing teeth? A bridge may be recommended by Dr. Taylor if you’re missing one or more teeth. They are an alternative tooth-replacement option when dental implants or dentures do not fit your needs or priorities.
Dental bridges work by cementing an artificial tooth between neighboring teeth by using multiple crowns. This placement covers up the gap (from the missing tooth) and is secure, so you can chew, speak, and smile with ease.
If left unrestored, the gaps left by missing teeth will eventually cause the adjacent teeth to shift resulting in a bad bite or TMJ problems.

Commonly Asked Questions About
Dental Crowns & Bridges
What can I expect with the dental crown and bridge procedure?
- First Appointment: The first visit involves prepping your tooth (crown) or adjacent teeth (bridge), taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown or bridge. Dr. Taylor will send your impressions to our dental lab where their skilled artists will craft and customize YOUR restoration.
- Second Appointment: Once the lab has completed your restoration, we will have you return for the second visit. This visit is usually shorter and involves removing the temporary, trying in your new restoration, making any adjustments necessary and cementing the final restoration in place.
