Bridges and Dental Crowns in Royal Oak, MI
Dental crowns and bridges are dental solutions that restore function and aesthetics. A crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants. At Wellness Family Dentistry, we design each restoration to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and durable result.
01.
Process
Consultation and Evaluation: We examine your teeth, take digital X-rays, and determine whether a crown or bridge is the best solution for restoring your smile.
Tooth Preparation and Impressions: The tooth (or teeth) is reshaped to fit the crown or support the bridge. We take impressions to create a custom design for your restoration.
Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your tooth while your custom restoration is being made.
02.
Next Steps
Final Placement: Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we verify the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and secure it in place with cement.
Aftercare and Follow-up: We review care instructions and monitor your restoration at future visits to ensure long-lasting results and continued comfort.
