If you have a damaged or missing tooth, dental crowns and bridges offer strong, natural-looking solutions to restore your smile. At Caputo Dental, we create custom restorations that blend seamlessly with your teeth, bringing back function, comfort, and confidence.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a tooth that’s weakened, broken, or treated with a root canal. Crowns restore strength, prevent further damage, and look just like your natural teeth. They can also be used on dental implants for tooth replacement.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth using a series of crowns connected together. The bridge is anchored to healthy teeth or implants, providing a secure and natural-looking replacement that restores chewing ability and maintains your bite alignment.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

  • Natural Appearance: Designed to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.
  • Improved Function: Restore normal chewing and speaking ability.
  • Durability: High-quality materials ensure long-lasting strength.
  • Protects Your Smile: Prevents shifting of nearby teeth and further oral health problems.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting a crown or bridge usually takes two visits:

  1. First Visit: We prepare the tooth, take impressions, and place a temporary crown or bridge.
  2. Second Visit: Your custom crown or bridge is securely bonded in place for a perfect fit and natural look.

We use advanced materials and techniques to ensure your restoration feels comfortable and looks beautiful.
