Dental Crowns and Bridges
in Grand Junction, CO
Dental crowns and bridges serve as effective dental restoration processes to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. Our crowns and bridges look natural and help with activities such as speaking and chewing. For long-lasting performance and exceptional results, we use high-quality materials in our crowns and bridges.
At Bookcliff Family Dental, we make sure that your dental crowns and bridges look and work like your natural teeth. It will take two trips to our office to get your crowns or bridges. The first visit will involve taking impressions of your teeth, which will then be sent to a dental lab. When your crown or bridge is ready, come back in and we’ll make sure it fits you perfectly.

What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are a versatile and useful tool in the field of dentistry. They can be used to cap a damaged tooth, replacing the existing structure and restoring it to its full function. Crowns can also be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth, and provide support for dental bridges. There is no special care required for dental crowns, and they can be treated just like regular teeth, with brushing and flossing.

What is a dental bridge?
At Bookcliff Family Dental, we specialize in custom-designed dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth. Our bridges are made to look natural and provide reliable performance. They are called bridges because they “bridge” the gap created by the missing teeth. The bridge is secured using either abutment crowns or permanently installed metal mechanisms. With our dental bridges, you can be confident that you will have a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

How do temporary dental crowns work?
After the initial dental appointment to create an impression of your teeth for a permanent dental crown, Dr. Helgerson will provide a temporary crown to protect your tooth during the short period before the permanent crown is delivered. When you return for the fitting appointment, the temporary crown is removed and your permanent crown or bridge is fitted to the base.
