Dental Crowns and Bridges in Glendale, WI
Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments that repair damaged or missing teeth and restore your smile’s strength and appearance. A crown is a customized cap placed over a compromised or damaged tooth to protect it and restore its function. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring teeth or implants. Both crowns and bridges help relieve discomfort, improve chewing and speech, prevent teeth from shifting, and restore confidence by creating a natural-looking, healthy smile.
At Sladky Family Dental, we ensure your dental crowns and bridges blend seamlessly with your existing teeth and function like natural teeth. Now, we can do this in one convenient visit with our same-day crowns. Same-day crowns use advanced CAD/CAM technology to design and mill a custom crown in a single visit. This provides a convenient, precise, and natural-looking restoration that fits comfortably and instantly restores your smile, eliminating the need for multiple visits or temporary crowns.

What is a dental crown?
Resembling a natural tooth, a dental crown is fitted over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended after a large filling, root canal treatment, or to protect a tooth that has been cracked or damaged. Crowns are typically fabricated from materials like porcelain or ceramic. With high-level care, a dental crown can last for many years, allowing you to chew comfortably and smile with confidence.

What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth or teeth to natural teeth or dental implants on either side of a gap. Bridges help restore your smile’s appearance, improve chewing and speaking, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of position. Made from durable, natural-looking materials, dental bridges blend easily with your natural smile and provide long-lasting, reliable function.

How long do dental crowns last?
The implant post, typically made of titanium, can last a lifetime as it bonds with the jawbone. The visible crown may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear and tear. Daily brushing and flossing, routine dental visits, and avoiding habits such as smoking all help extend the longevity of implants. Overall health, bone quality, and oral hygiene play crucial roles, making dental implants a reliable and long-term solution for missing teeth when properly maintained.
