Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges

Custom restorations to protect and replace teeth.

At Dr. Prieto’s practice, crowns and bridges are trusted solutions to restore your smile. A crown is a protective “cap” placed over a weakened or damaged tooth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. It can also cover a dental implant, support a bridge, or improve teeth that are discolored or misshapen.

A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It anchors artificial teeth to nearby natural teeth or implants, filling gaps, restoring chewing ability, and preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of place. Both crowns and bridges are designed to look natural and blend seamlessly with your smile.

Dr. Prieto and his team use advanced techniques and durable materials to ensure your restoration feels comfortable and lasts for years. Here’s what you can expect during treatment:

• Tooth Preparation – The tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown or to support the bridge.
• Digital Scans or Impressions – Accurate models are taken to design your custom restoration.
• Temporary Placement – A temporary crown or bridge protects your tooth while the permanent one is being crafted.
• Final Placement – Your custom crown or bridge is securely bonded for lasting strength and function.

With proper care, including daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
