Learn how dental crowns and bridges can restore your smile by fixing damaged or missing teeth.
Dental Crowns and Bridges in Ogden, Utah
Dental crowns and bridges are dependable restorative solutions for repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth, helping restore the appearance, function, and health of your smile. Custom-crafted from durable, high-quality materials, these restorations are designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
The treatment process typically involves two visits: during the first appointment, we prepare the affected teeth and take detailed impressions, which are sent to a dental laboratory; during the second visit, we carefully place and adjust your custom crown or bridge to ensure a comfortable fit and natural-looking results. Don’t let damaged or missing teeth hold you back from enjoying a complete, confident smile.

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or severely decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after large fillings, root canal treatment, or dental injuries, and they can also be placed on top of dental implants. Designed to look and function like natural teeth, dental crowns help protect the underlying tooth while allowing you to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.

What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap with an artificial tooth that is supported by the natural teeth or dental implants on either side. Dental bridges restore the appearance and function of your smile, making it easier to chew and speak while helping prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. They are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a comfortable, natural-looking result.

How do temporary dental crowns work?
When preparing for a permanent crown, an impression of your dental arches is taken to create an accurate replica of your teeth. This impression is sent to a lab to fabricate the permanent crown. Meanwhile, a temporary crown protects the tooth, preventing bacteria from entering.
