Restoring Your Smile
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth can not only affect your smile’s appearance but also hinder your ability to chew comfortably. Crowns and bridges are versatile dental restorations that can offer a durable and natural-looking solution to these concerns.
Crowns are used to cover a damaged tooth, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Both treatments can help restore function and improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Our team at Deerfoot Dental Centre is with you throughout your treatment. Contact us to schedule your appointment.

Crowns and bridges are great options for addressing a variety of dental concerns. Crowns, often called “caps,” are custom-made to fit snugly over a damaged or weakened tooth, helping to restore its strength, shape, and size.
Bridges, however, literally help bridge the gap created by missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth supported by dental crowns placed on the surrounding healthy teeth.
Preparing for Your Crown or Bridge Procedure
We offer a comprehensive patient experience from the initial consultation to the treatment day and aftercare instructions.
Our team will be sure to explain what you can expect and answer any questions or concerns you may have about your crown or bridge procedure.
During your initial consultation, we will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and determine if a crown or bridge is the best course of action. X-rays may be required to assess the health of the tooth and jawbone.
For crowns, the tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic, and any necessary reshaping will be done to prepare for the crown placement. A temporary crown will be placed while the permanent crown is custom-made in a dental lab to match your surrounding teeth perfectly.
For bridges, the supporting teeth will be prepared for crowns, and a temporary bridge may be placed. The permanent crown or bridge will be securely cemented during your next visit.
Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions following your crown or bridge placement. Generally, good oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing twice daily are essential for maintaining the longevity of your restorations.
The Importance of Addressing Dental Concerns
Leaving a damaged or missing tooth untreated can lead to different complications, including:
- Shifting Teeth: Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of place, affecting your bite and overall oral health.
- Difficulty Chewing: Damaged or missing teeth can make it difficult to chew properly, leading to digestive problems.
- Speech Impediments: Gaps or missing teeth can affect your speech.
Crowns and bridges can help offer a long-lasting and effective solution to these concerns.
