Dental crowns and bridges are reliable solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth. At Aurora Dental Group, we use high-quality materials and precise techniques to repair your smile while maintaining a natural look and comfortable fit. Whether you have a weakened tooth or a gap from a missing tooth, crowns and bridges can help restore both function and appearance.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be preserved.
When a Crown May Be Needed
- To restore a cracked or broken tooth
- After a root canal to protect the tooth
- To strengthen a tooth with a large filling
- To improve the appearance of a worn or discolored tooth
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding natural teeth or dental crowns. The bridge fills the gap with a natural-looking replacement tooth, restoring your smile and bite.
Bridges are a fixed solution, meaning they stay in place and function like your natural teeth.
When a Bridge May Be Recommended
- To replace one or more missing teeth
- To restore chewing function and balance your bite
- To prevent surrounding teeth from shifting

Both crowns and bridges are designed to improve your oral health while enhancing the look of your smile.

What to Expect During Treatment
The process for crowns and bridges typically involves preparing the affected tooth or teeth, taking impressions, and placing a custom restoration designed for a precise fit.
We focus on comfort, accuracy, and long-term results, ensuring your restoration feels natural and functions properly.
