What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically used for:
- Protecting weak teeth from breaking
- Restoring broken or severely worn teeth
- Supporting a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth left
- Covering discolored or misshapen teeth
- Completing a dental implant
Our crowns are made from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding natural teeth. This treatment can help:
- Restore your ability to chew and speak properly
- Maintain the shape of your face and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
- Improve your smile and boost your confidence
At Everett Dental Clinic, we offer several types of bridges, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland bridges, customized to fit your specific dental needs.

The Process: What to Expect
Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and discuss your concerns. We’ll take x-rays to assess the condition of your teeth and jawbone.
Treatment Planning: After evaluating your dental health, our team will recommend the best options for crowns or bridges. We’ll discuss the materials, costs, and the procedure involved.
Preparation: If a crown is needed, we will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. For bridges, we will prepare the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge.
Impressions: We’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom crowns or bridges that fit perfectly in your mouth.
Temporary Restoration: While your permanent restoration is being crafted, we may provide a temporary crown or bridge to protect your tooth.
Placement: Once your crowns or bridges are ready, you’ll return to our office for placement. We’ll ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments.
