Understanding Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are versatile dental restorations designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth.
• Crowns: Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made prosthetic teeth covers that fit over a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
• Bridges: Bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants, effectively “bridging” the gap created by missing teeth.

THE CROWNS & BRIDGES PROCESS
The process of receiving crowns and bridges at Apex Dentistry typically involves the following steps:
CONSULTATION
During your initial consultation, Dr. Salehi will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and recommend the most suitable crowns or bridges options for your needs.
FABRICATION
Our skilled dental lab technicians will craft your custom crowns or bridges using high-quality materials that closely match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
PREPARATION
For crowns, the affected tooth will be prepared by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken to create custom-fitted crowns or bridges.
PLACEMENT
Once your crowns or bridges are ready, Dr. Salehi will carefully place them in your mouth, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and aesthetics. The prosthetic teeth will be securely bonded or anchored in place, restoring your smile’s function and appearance.
