Crowns and Bridges
What is a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are tooth-coloured caps custom-made to fit over existing teeth or dental implants. A crown is typically recommended to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of weak, broken or damaged teeth. While veneers’ crowns are thin shells that cover only the front surface of teeth, full crowns snugly fit the entire tooth. Ceramic crowns are especially popular due to their natural-looking appearance and durability. Crowns offer both functional and aesthetic benefits to people with severely decayed, cracked, or weakened teeth. Crowns can also be used to cover dental implants or hold dental bridges in place, making them a versatile solution for various dental issues.
What is a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic. As a bridge for missing teeth, it replaces the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A typical dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by dental crowns on either side. The crowns are attached to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, also known as abutment teeth. Dental bridges restore your ability to properly chew and smile. They also help to keep the remaining teeth in position. Dental bridges come in different materials, including porcelain fused to metal or ceramics, to match your natural teeth.
Crown and Bridge Work for Restoring Your Smile
Crown and bridge installation involves several steps to help you achieve a perfect fit and natural appearance.
1. Initial Consultation
- Complete oral examination
- Discussion of treatment options
- Taking impressions with 3D imaging
2. Preparation
- Reshaping abutment (adjacent) teeth to accommodate crowns
- Imaging scans for custom fabrication
3. Temporary Restoration
- Placement of temporary crowns or bridges to protect prepared teeth
4. Fabrication
- Custom fabrication of crowns and bridges in a dental lab
5. Fitting and Cementing
- Removal of temporary crowns and bridges
- Adjusting the permanent dental bridge or crowns
- Permanent installation of the restoration
6. Follow-up
- Final adjustments, if needed
- Instructions for future care and maintenance
This step-by-step process makes your crowns and bridges fit well, look natural and function perfectly, as an efficient solution for your dental needs.
How Crowns and Bridges are Made
The creation of crowns and bridges is a meticulous process. A dental lab crafts your custom crown and bridge based on the 3D imaging. Meanwhile, your dentist will install a tooth temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth. This provision restores comfort and function while your permanent crown and bridge is being carefully designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
How Long Does a Permanent Crown Last?
Permanent teeth crowns are designed for durability. They typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can make them last 25-30 years, or even longer. You can extend the longevity of your crown and bridge by developing good oral hygiene and avoiding habits, like teeth grinding and using your teeth as tools.

I definitely recommend skymark center, the staff is very friendly and have always welcomed me from the very beginning - Thanks to Marium and Alice❤️ My dentist Dr Goli and her assistants have been a tremendous help from the the very start. Dr Goli is very gently and very professional at her work.
Fantastic place! I went in for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the way I was treated. Alice at the front desk is extremely friendly and really generous. She made sure that I went out with a smile on my face. Dr. Goli and Dr. Ishan were my dentist and dental assistant and they did a great job with cleaning my teeth. They were all extremely supportive and made me feel comfortable in a place where not many can be comfortable. They made me feel like there was still hope for my teeth and gave me great advice on how to keep them healthy and clean. Overall, this place is fantastic and the staff are super friendly and supportive. Come here if you want any kind of dental service!
Skymark has a convenient location with available parking. Alice is very friendly and attentive, Dr David and staff are most gentle and pay attention to patient’s comfort, and of course, health and well-being. I’m really happy that I switched to their dental office.
I had the most amazing experience at Skymark Smile Centre. Such a warm and welcoming office. From the moment you enter everyone from front desk onwards does their best to make you as comfortable as possible. Dr. Goli has such a gentle hand and I have been to my fair share of dentists but I’ve never had such a pain free injection as I did here. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is anxious about dental treatment like I am. Thank you Skymark team!
