Dental Crowns and Bridges in New Braunfels, TX
Dental crowns protect damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing ones. Together, they restore chewing, speaking, and smiling with natural-looking results. We’ll guide you through every step with care, patience, and expert hands.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. Made from materials like porcelain, metal, or ceramic, crowns protect teeth after root canals, support large fillings, or improve appearance.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. It restores chewing function, maintains facial structure, and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
01.
The Dental Crown Process
The dental crown process begins with reshaping the damaged tooth and taking impressions for a custom fit. A temporary crown is placed while a permanent one is made in a lab. The permanent crown is checked for fit and bite at the second visit and then securely cemented.
02.
The Dental Bridge Process
Getting a dental bridge starts with reshaping the teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge. Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab to create a custom-fit bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed while the permanent one is fabricated. At the second appointment, your dentist fits and cements the final bridge.
