A crown caps a damaged tooth entirely, restoring its shape and strength when a filling alone isn't enough to hold it together. A bridge, by contrast, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap. Both are custom-fabricated to match your bite and the shade of your surrounding teeth.
Same-day crown technology, using an in-office milling machine, has cut the traditional two-visit crown process down to a single appointment at select offices. A bridge case usually spans a few appointments since it depends on precise impressions of both anchor teeth and the gap between them.
A crown or bridge is only as durable as the tooth structure and gum health supporting it, so any underlying decay or gum disease gets addressed first. Getting the foundation healthy first is what makes the final crown or bridge actually last.
Skip the temporary-crown wait at participating locations with same-day milling equipment.
Crown material is chosen based on tooth location, bite force, and cosmetic priority.
Digital scans capture your exact bite alignment so the crown or bridge fits without adjustment.
Traditional bridges use your existing healthy teeth as anchors, avoiding implant surgery when appropriate.

A crown caps a single damaged tooth; a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using neighboring anchors.
If anchor teeth aren't strong enough, an implant-supported option may be recommended instead.
Digital scans and shade guides ensure the final restoration blends in rather than standing out.
Cost depends on material choice and whether one tooth or several are involved, quoted before treatment.
