Dental Crowns & Bridge in Johnson City, TN

What are dental crowns and bridges used for?

Dental Crowns:

• Protect and strengthen weakened or damaged teeth
• Restore teeth after a large cavity or root canal treatment
• Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
• Support a dental bridge by anchoring it in place
• Cover and complete a dental implant

Dental Bridges:

What is the process for receiving a dental crown or bridge?

The process typically requires two visits. During the first visit, our team prepares the tooth by reshaping it and taking impressions. A temporary crown or bridge is placed while the permanent restoration is crafted in a dental lab. At the second visit, we will remove the temporary restoration and securely bond the permanent crown or bridge in place. Adjustments are then made to ensure a comfortable fit and natural bite, restoring function and aesthetics.

Are dental crowns and dental bridges affordable?

The cost of dental crowns and bridges varies depending on several factors, including the materials used, the number of teeth involved, and your dental insurance coverage. While they can be an investment, they provide long-term durability and function, helping restore your smile and protect your oral health. Our practice also accepts third-party financing options, which can help patients receive the restorative care they need, when they need it.
