Crowns & Bridges

If cracked, chipped, or missing teeth are keeping you from smiling wide and inhibiting your function to eat and chew, we are here for you! Crowns and bridges offer long-term, natural-looking restoration of function and will have you feeling confident to smile.

What is a Crown?

A crown is the name for a dental cap. It is a sophisticated type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth. A crown is typically bonded to the tooth by dental cement.

What is a Bridge?

A bridge is a small oral appliance used to cover spaces of one or more missing teeth. Using the surrounding teeth as anchors, a bridge is made up of abutment crowns to rest atop the anchor teeth, as well as pontic teeth to restore missing space.

Benefits of a Crown

You could need a crown for a variety of reasons! Those include restoring a damaged tooth, completing a dental implant, or protecting a tooth that has had a root canal. The benefits of opting for a custom crown include:

Restored strength and stability
Natural looking color and shape
Lasting results with mouth healthy materials
Ability to brush and floss comfortability

Benefits of a Bridge

Our dentists look to provide the restoration option that best suits you. For many, a bridge is the best way to go because they:

Restore bite function
Eliminate risk of other teeth shifting
Help patients regain confidence in their smiles
Fixed restoration

I have been a patient since 1980. My visits are like a family reunion. I had extensive dental work done over the last 50 years, but I'm lucky to be in the care of this professional, experienced and adept dentist office. Thank you Dr. Pitt, Tina and the rest of the team!

This was my first visit to Family Dentistry of Lancaster. Very professional and very modern office and equipment. My dentist recently retired and I was looking for a new dentist. I couldn't be happier with the one I chose. Thank you for a good experience.
