Dental Crowns and Bridges

Enhance Your Smile with Dental Crowns

A dental crown caps a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Crowns strengthen the tooth it covers as well as dramatically improving its appearance. Our team at Traverse Dental Associates custom designs and places a crown to permanently cover a decayed, damaged or cracked tooth.  With proper care, crowns are designed to last for life.

Do You Need a Crown?

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Cavities that cannot be treated by fillings
• Weak tooth
• Severely discolored tooth

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Extra protection for the tooth
• Durability
• Smile restoration
• Affordable alternative to complete implants

Restore Function with Dental Bridges

If you are missing teeth, our Traverse Dental Associates team can custom fit a dental bridge to fill a space your tooth previously occupied. Dental bridges have crowns that fit atop the teeth on both sides of the space and are designed for patients who have healthy gums and teeth and only one or two damaged teeth.

Do You Need a Bridge?

• Missing one or two teeth
• Have otherwise healthy gums and teeth

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

• Restore confident smile
• Help with chewing and talking
• Keep surrounding teeth in place
• Reduce pain
• Improve oral health

How long will my bridge last?

Most bridges last for up to 15 years, especially if you practice good oral hygiene while wearing them. Your bridge will be checked during your regular dental visits.
