Crowns and bridges are among the most versatile and effective tools in restorative dentistry. At Dr. Stuart Dexter’s office, we use advanced materials and precision design to restore the strength, function, and esthetics of teeth that have been damaged, weakened, or lost.

Crowns

Dental crowns are commonly used to restore a single tooth that has undergone trauma, root canal therapy, or structural breakdown. Each crown is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth, both in shape and color. Using both digital and traditional impressions, we create restorations that are lifelike and long-lasting.

Bridges

Bridges are a fixed option for replacing one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic between adjacent healthy teeth or implants. They help maintain bite alignment, prevent shifting, and restore chewing function without the need for a removable appliance. Properly designed and placed bridges can offer many years of dependable performance with good hygiene.

As a prosthodontist, Dr. Dexter brings meticulous attention to detail in the planning and execution of each restoration, ensuring that every crown or bridge enhances both the health and harmony of the patient’s smile.

Mini FAQ:
Q: How long does a dental crown last?
A: With regular dental care and healthy habits, crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Q: Are bridges a good alternative to implants?
A: While implants are the closest option to replacing natural teeth, they aren’t the only solution. Bridges can be ideal when adjacent teeth already require crowns, or when implants aren’t possible due to bone loss or anatomical limitations. Our team can help you restore strength, comfort, and esthetics with a solution tailored to your unique needs.
