Smile Center Dentistry offers Dental Crowns And Bridges in zirconia, e.max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, and we'll walk through which material actually fits your case and budget.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Dental Crowns And Bridges is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
A digital scanner captures the exact shape needed for your crown or bridge, replacing the old putty-tray impression.
We recommend material based on which tooth is involved and how much bite force it handles, not just what's most expensive.
Heavily damaged teeth sometimes need a post-and-core buildup before a crown can be placed securely.
The full cost, including any buildup or temporary crown, is quoted before treatment starts.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Zirconia is highly durable and well-suited for back teeth that handle heavy chewing forces. Zirconia crowns typically require less tooth reduction than older all-metal options.
It's slightly less impact-resistant than zirconia, which factors into where we recommend using it. We'll walk through the esthetic-versus-strength tradeoff for your specific tooth.
This remains a solid option for back teeth where a slight metal margin isn't a visible concern. Cost tends to be lower than zirconia or e.max for comparable durability.
A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are typically completed in two visits with a temporary in between.
This step is assessed case by case, not applied automatically to every crown. The buildup is usually completed at the same visit as crown preparation.
A cracked crown, loose bridge, or worn restoration is assessed to determine whether repair or full replacement makes more sense. Replacement is recommended when the underlying tooth or fit has changed significantly.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
A quick call starts the repair-or-replace assessment process.
We scan the tooth digitally and walk through material options — zirconia, e.max, or PFM — based on your case.
Any post-and-core buildup is included in the quote if needed.
The permanent crown or bridge is fitted, checked for bite, and adjusted until it feels right.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Dental Crowns And Bridges treatment with us in the past year.
“They walked me through zirconia versus e.max for my case and I ended up choosing based on which tooth was actually visible when I smile.”
“Digital impression meant no more gagging on that awful putty tray from my last dentist. Fit was perfect on the first try too.”
“My old bridge was failing and they gave me an honest comparison between repairing it and just replacing it outright.”
“Post-and-core buildup after my root canal made sense once they showed me the X-ray. Crown has held up great since.”
“PFM crown on a back molar was the practical, affordable choice and they didn't push the pricier options on me.”
These are the questions Centennial Park patients ask most before booking Dental Crowns And Bridges.
Zirconia is very durable and good for back teeth; e.max offers superior esthetics for front teeth; PFM is a proven, lower-cost option combining metal and porcelain.
Regular checkups help us catch wear or damage early, extending the restoration's lifespan.
Not every crown needs this step; it depends on how much natural tooth remains.
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support; an implant doesn't, which factors into the recommendation.
Sometimes — we'll assess whether a repair will realistically hold up before recommending it over full replacement.
Some offices offer same-day crown options; ask if that applies to your specific case.
If you're unsure whether your part of Centennial Park is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We provide Dental Crowns And Bridges to Centennial Park patients with material options explained clearly, not defaulted to whatever's most profitable. If you're comparing a bridge to an implant, the assessment visit is the right place to ask both questions.
