A bridge is a non-surgical way to replace one or many teeth. A bridge uses the adjacent teeth as anchors to support the missing tooth or teeth. With today’s dental advancements, a bridge can be fabricated in a fairly short period of time, using a metal or nonmetal foundation. Don’t let that missing tooth affect the way you speak, eat, and smile. Bridges yield immediate results that last a lifetime. Ask your dentist what type of bridge may be right for you.

Stein Family Dentistry eliminates the need for drawn-out treatments. Dr. Andy Stein offers CEREC crowns and bridges to ensure you can have your smile restored in just a few hours! CEREC dentistry combines computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies to allow us to mill your restorations just after prepping your tooth and taking impressions.

What are dental crowns? What about dental bridges?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance placed on the remaining tooth structure to improve its function and aesthetics. Dental crowns can replace missing teeth, fortify damaged teeth, and cosmetically improve unattractive teeth.

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth in a row. A traditional bridge consists of prosthetic teeth anchored to either side of the space left with missing teeth (abutments). The abutment teeth are reinforced with dental crowns to ensure your dental bridge is stable when eating, smiling, or talking.

Our dental crowns and bridges are created with high-quality ceramics to ensure your restorations look natural. They fit so seamlessly into your smile that no one will know they are artificial!

How are CEREC crowns and bridges placed?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Whether placing bridges or crowns, the entire process, from impressions to fabrication, is done digitally in-house. Your treatment starts with a consultation with our dentist. If you are a good fit for bridgework, we’ll prepare your teeth by reshaping your abutment teeth to create room for dental crowns.

Next, the dentist will take digital scans of your teeth with a comfortable, wand-like device.

Unlike traditional restorations, there’s no room for messy, goop-based impressions. Next, we’ll use the CAD unit to design your crowns and bridge to match your teeth’ exact shape, color, and size. Once your design is approved, we’ll feed the images to our in-house milling machine, which will fabricate your restorations within minutes.

Once your crown and bridges are out, we’ll make a few adjustments before permanently bonding them to your teeth. That’s it! You’ll leave our office with a perfectly polished, custom-fit bridgework.
