A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely when a filling alone can't hold it together. A bridge, instead, replaces missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. Both are custom-made to match your bite and the shade of surrounding teeth.
At select locations, same-day crown technology skips the temporary-crown wait entirely. A bridge case usually needs a few appointments given the precision required for both anchor teeth and the gap.
Treatment order matters here — a crown placed over an unresolved cavity or unhealthy gumline won't hold up as well long-term. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Select offices design and mill a crown in one visit with in-office CAD/CAM equipment. We'll tell you upfront whether the office you're matched with offers same-day milling.
Material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority. Your provider will recommend a material rather than leaving you to guess between options.
Shade matching ensures the crown or bridge blends with surrounding teeth. Getting the fit right the first time avoids a return trip for adjustments.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate. Whether your anchor teeth qualify is assessed before a bridge is recommended over an implant.
