Dental Crowns (No PFM Crowns)
Complete Coverage Without Metal
Our crowns are 100% metal-free, offering patients a natural-looking solution without the gray lines often caused by porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations. Crafted from high-quality ceramic or zirconia, each crown is custom-shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a durable cap that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. It’s ideal for protecting teeth that are cracked, worn, or weakened by decay or root canal therapy.
Benefits of Metal-Free Crowns
These crowns are safe, biocompatible, and aesthetically superior to metal-based alternatives.
- No visible dark edges at the gumline
- Biocompatible for patients with metal sensitivities
- Durable enough for back teeth, beautiful enough for front teeth
- Long-lasting with proper care
What to Expect
Two visits are needed: the first for tooth preparation and impressions, the second for permanent crown placement.
- Reshape the tooth and take digital scans
- Place a temporary crown
- Cement and adjust your final crown
Time Spent: Two appointments; each 60 to 90 minutes
Aftercare for Crown Longevity
Protect your crown and the tooth beneath it with mindful at-home care.
- Avoid sticky or hard foods in the first 24 hours
- Brush gently along the gumline
- Floss daily using a gentle technique
- Maintain regular exams to monitor the crown’s condition
Dental Bridges
Fixed Solutions for Missing Teeth
Dental bridges close gaps left by one or more missing teeth. They restore a natural bite, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and improve your ability to chew and speak with ease.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns on neighboring teeth or dental implants.
Bridge Options We Offer
Each type of bridge is tailored to your smile, oral health, and structural support.
- Traditional Dental Bridge
Uses crowns on both sides of the gap to support one or more artificial teeth. - Maryland Bridge
Anchors a false tooth using bonded “wings” attached to the back of adjacent teeth—ideal for front teeth. - Cantilever Dental Bridge
Used when only one adjacent tooth is available to support the bridge. - Implant-Supported Bridges
Attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering excellent stability and preserving healthy tooth structure.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
All bridge options restore function and aesthetics without removable appliances.
- Prevents shifting and misalignment
- Custom-designed to match your natural teeth
- Improves chewing and speaking
- Secure and reliable long-term solution
What to Expect
Most bridges are completed in two visits, though implant-supported bridges may require a longer timeline.
- Prepare abutment teeth or place implants
- Take impressions or scans
- Place and adjust the final bridge
Time Spent: Two appointments; each 60 to 90 minutes
Aftercare for Bridge Success
Caring for the surrounding teeth and cleaning under the bridge is essential.
- Use a floss threader or water flosser daily
- Avoid hard or chewy foods near the bridge
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Maintain hygiene appointments for monitoring
