Missing or damaged teeth can make eating, speaking, and even smiling feel like a challenge. But we believe everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. That’s why we offer crowns and bridges in Minneapolis. These custom solutions can restore your teeth, your confidence, and your comfort.
What’s the Process for Getting Crowns and Bridges?
Getting crowns and bridges is easier than you might think! At CityTooth, we guide you through each step to make the process smooth, comfortable, and efficient. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation at our Minneapolis dental office. Our dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if crowns or bridges are your best solution. We’ll also take detailed images and impressions to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Preparing Your Teeth
For a crown, we gently reshape the affected tooth to make room for the restoration. If you’re getting a bridge, we prepare the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) to support the bridge.
3. Temporary Restorations
While your custom crown or bridge is being crafted in a dental lab, we’ll place temporary restorations to protect your teeth and keep your smile looking great in the meantime.
4. Custom Fitting
Once your crown or bridge is ready, you’ll come back for a fitting. Our dentist will carefully place the restoration, check the fit, and make any adjustments needed so it feels just right.
5. Final Placement
After confirming the fit and appearance, we securely bond your crown or bridge into place. Your smile will look natural, and your teeth will feel strong and functional again.
6. Ongoing Care
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last for many years. We’ll give you tips and guidance on maintaining your new restorations so you can enjoy your smile for the long haul.
