At New Leaf Dental Care, we offer high-quality restorative treatments designed to rebuild and protect your smile. Dental crowns and bridges are durable, natural-looking solutions that restore function, improve appearance, and help maintain long-term oral health.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still healthy enough to be preserved.

When You May Need a Crown:

• A large cavity has weakened the tooth structure
• A tooth is cracked, worn, or broken
• A root canal has been performed
• A tooth has an irregular shape or significant discoloration
• A crown is needed to support a bridge or a dental implant

Types of Crown Materials:

• Porcelain or Ceramic – Tooth-colored and ideal for front teeth
• Porcelain Fused to Metal – Durable and natural-looking, suitable for both front and back teeth
• Metal Alloys (including Gold) – Strong and long-lasting, often used on molars

At New Leaf Dental Care, every crown is crafted with precision to ensure a comfortable fit, proper bite, and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns attached to the surrounding natural teeth or implants.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge:

• Fills gaps left by missing teeth
• Prevents nearby teeth from shifting
• Restores chewing and speaking ability
• Maintains facial shape and alignment
• Improves smile aesthetics and confidence

We offer traditional, implant-supported, and resin-bonded bridge options to best suit your individual needs.

Restoring your smile with a crown or bridge typically takes two visits:

Visit 1 – Preparation

• The affected area is examined and digital impressions are taken
• Teeth are reshaped to fit the crown or bridge anchors
• A temporary restoration is placed for protection and comfort

Visit 2 – Final Placement

• Your permanent crown or bridge is carefully adjusted and bonded
• Your bite is refined for comfort and function
• You leave with a beautiful, fully restored smile

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last many years. To keep them in top condition:

• Brush and floss daily, especially around the gumline
• Use floss threaders or water flossers for bridges
• Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or pens
• Limit sugary snacks and acidic beverages
• Schedule checkups and cleanings every 4 to 6 months
• Contact us if you notice shifting, discomfort, or changes in your restoration

Our team monitors your restorations at each visit to ensure they remain strong and functional over time.
