Whether it's one damaged tooth or a gap that needs a fixed bridge, our Dental Crowns And Bridges plan includes an honest repair-or-replace assessment before committing to anything.
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.
Digital impressions also tend to produce a more accurate final fit than traditional molds.
Zirconia, e.max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal each have different strength, appearance, and cost tradeoffs — we'll walk through them clearly.
Heavily damaged teeth sometimes need a post-and-core buildup before a crown can be placed securely.
If a crown or bridge doesn't fit right, adjustment is covered within the warranty period at no extra charge.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Modern zirconia can also be shaded to blend reasonably well with natural teeth, though e.max often edges it out for front-tooth esthetics. This tends to be our go-to recommendation for molars and premolars.
It's slightly less impact-resistant than zirconia, which factors into where we recommend using it. Most patients choose e.max specifically for how natural it looks next to surrounding teeth.
PFM crowns combine a metal substructure with a porcelain outer layer, offering a proven, durable option at a lower cost than all-ceramic choices. PFM has decades of clinical track record behind it.
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. We'll show you the X-ray reasoning if a buildup is recommended.
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.
You'll understand the tradeoffs before choosing a material.
Any post-and-core buildup is included in the quote if needed.
We confirm fit and appearance before considering the case complete.
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 Monroeville 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.
Only if the tooth has lost significant structure, often after a root canal — we'll assess and show you the reasoning.
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support; an implant doesn't, which factors into the recommendation.
If the underlying fit or tooth structure has changed significantly, replacement is usually the more durable choice.
Some offices offer same-day crown options; ask if that applies to your specific case.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Crowns And Bridges before you even finish describing your situation.
