Dental Crowns and Bridges
We take lost and damaged teeth very seriously. Our crowns and bridges provide the restoration results you need to smile proudly and confidently.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are effective restorations when teeth are lost or severely damaged. Our crowns and bridges look natural and offer much-needed assistance with chewing and speaking. We use high-quality materials in our crowns and bridges to ensure the restorations last as long as possible and provide exceptional performance.
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, without needing multiple visits or temporary crowns.

What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are used when a tooth has a very large filling that exceeds the natural tooth structure, your tooth had root canal therapy or for cosmetic reasons.
Dental crowns have many applications. The first is to be installed over a damaged tooth to cap the existing structure, which restores the damaged tooth so it can be used normally. Crowns can also be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth; these implants will be surgically inserted into the jawbone and serve as the root for the tooth. This procedure keeps the crown steady and secure.
Additionally, dental crowns may also be used to provide extra support for dental bridges. They do not require any special treatment and can be brushed and flossed as normal.
For patient convenience, our team provides same-day crowns without the need for several visits and temporary crown placement.

What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are commonly used when a patient has lost one or more teeth. They are called bridges because they consist of one or more replacement teeth that bridge the gap that was created when the original teeth became lost. Dental bridges can be secured using abutment crowns on each end or by using permanently installed precision metal mechanisms. At Sladky Family Dental, we custom design each component of a dental bridge to ensure that it looks natural and provides the desired performance.

How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer with ideal oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Avoiding hard foods and teeth grinding while maintaining daily brushing and flossing will help extend a crown’s lifespan. With proper care, crowns remain strong, protect weakened teeth, and keep your smile looking great for many years.
