Dental crowns are custom caps that cover damaged or decayed teeth to restore their strength, shape and appearance. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (pontic) to neighbouring teeth or implants. Together, these restorations bring back comfortable chewing and the natural look of your smile.
We craft crowns and bridges using high‑quality porcelain, ceramic and zirconia materials to match your natural teeth. Each restoration is designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Digital scanning and in‑house milling allow us to create precise crowns, often in a single visit. Enjoy greater comfort and convenience with fewer appointments.
Our dentists have extensive training in prosthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. They work diligently to deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing results that restore your bite and confidence.
We accept most PPO and HMO plans, offer financing and provide discounts for payment in full. Our team will help you find a plan that fits your budget.

Crowns restore strength to worn, cracked or decayed teeth so you can chew and speak comfortably. They protect teeth after root canal therapy, repair large fractures and improve tooth shape, size and colour. Crowns may also support a dental implant or act as an anchor for a bridge.
Bridges replace missing teeth to restore function and appearance. They prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting, maintain proper jaw alignment and spread bite forces more evenly. Bridges are often a less invasive and more affordable alternative to implants, typically completed in two visits.

How Long Do Crowns & Bridges Last?
With proper care, crowns and bridges are durable solutions that can serve you well for many years. Dental crowns typically last between 10 and 15 years or longer, depending on the material and your oral hygiene habits. Bridges generally last 5 to 15 years before needing replacement. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits and avoiding habits like clenching or chewing hard objects will help your restoration last longer.
Signs Your Crown or Bridge May Need Replacement
- Sensitivity around the tooth or gums
- A visible crack or worn margin near the gum line
- Movement or looseness when chewing
- Dark areas under the crown
- Recurrent decay or changes in the gum around the tooth
Our team will work with you to select the right materials and will provide detailed care instructions to help you get the most out of your new restoration.
Contact us if you notice looseness, sensitivity or any change in bite or comfort. Quick attention supports long-term stability and helps maintain the function and appearance of your restoration.


Find quick answers to the most common questions our patients ask.
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape and strength. It’s recommended for large cavities, cracked teeth, worn teeth, root-canal-treated teeth or as the final step of a dental implant.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching a false tooth to crowns on the neighbouring teeth or implants. It restores chewing, improves speech and keeps nearby teeth from shifting.
Crowns often last 10–15 years, and bridges generally last 5–15 years. Good brushing, regular dental visits and avoiding hard foods help extend their lifespan.
The area is fully numbed, so the procedure feels comfortable. You may feel pressure during preparation. Mild soreness afterward usually fades within a day or two and can be eased with simple pain relievers.
Yes. Many crowns can be designed and placed the same day using digital scanning and in-office milling. Your dentist will confirm if your case is suitable.
A temporary crown usually lasts a few weeks while your final crown is made. Avoid sticky foods and chewing on the treated side to keep it stable.
Yes. Mild sensitivity to cold, hot or pressure is common for a few days. If it continues or feels sharp, let us know so we can adjust the bite if needed.
Both restore missing teeth, but implants help maintain jawbone and don’t rely on neighbouring teeth. Bridges are quicker and can be a good choice if the nearby teeth also need crowns. We help you compare both options during your visit.
Most crowns range from $900–$2,500, depending on the material and tooth location. Premium zirconia or implant crowns can reach $3,200. We offer flexible payment plans and review your insurance benefits before starting treatment.
A traditional bridge generally costs $2,000–$5,200. Implant-supported bridges vary more widely and may range from $5,000–$15,000+ depending on the number of implants needed. We provide a clear estimate after reviewing your X-rays and benefits.
Many PPO plans offer partial coverage for crowns and bridges when they are medically needed. We check your benefits in advance and give you a clear breakdown of your expected cost. Financing options are also available.
Common materials include porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal alloys and porcelain-fused-to-metal. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on the tooth’s location, strength requirements and your cosmetic goals.
Brush twice daily, floss around the crown or under the bridge using a floss threader or water flosser and avoid biting hard objects. Routine dental cleanings keep your restoration stable and help it last longer.
