Dental Crowns and Bridges
in Grand Junction, CO
Dental crowns and bridges are effective solutions for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. This process typically involves two visits: the first to take impressions sent to a dental lab, and the second to fit the custom-made crown or bridge. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both durability and comfort.

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are also attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth or support dental bridges. They protect the underlying tooth and improve the overall aesthetics of your smile.

What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is anchored on either side by crowns and fills the gap with artificial teeth that look and function like natural teeth. Bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, maintain facial structure, and enhance your ability to chew and speak properly.

How do temporary dental crowns work?
Temporary dental crowns are used to protect a tooth after it has been prepared for a permanent crown. These temporary crowns safeguard the tooth and prevent sensitivity or damage until the permanent crown is ready. During your second visit, the temporary crown is replaced with the permanent crown, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with your natural teeth.
