Crowns & Bridges in Pembroke Pines, FL
Custom dental crowns and bridges at Pines True Smile — restoring damaged and missing teeth with strength and a natural look.
When a tooth is badly damaged or missing, dental crowns and bridges restore your smile's strength, function, and natural appearance. At Pines True Smile in Pembroke Pines, we design custom crowns and bridges that fit comfortably, match your surrounding teeth, and let you bite, chew, and smile with confidence again.
What Are Crowns and Bridges?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape and protecting it from further harm. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Both are fixed restorations, meaning they stay firmly in place and are cared for much like your natural teeth.
When You Might Need a Crown
- A tooth weakened by a large cavity or a big filling
- A cracked, worn, or broken tooth
- A tooth that has had root canal treatment
- Covering a dental implant
- Improving the shape or color of a misshapen or discolored tooth
When a Bridge Makes Sense
A bridge is a great option when you are missing one or a few teeth in a row and have healthy teeth or implants nearby to support it. Filling that gap does more than improve your smile: it restores chewing, keeps neighboring teeth from drifting out of position, and helps maintain your natural bite and facial structure.
Our Crowns and Bridges Process
Treatment usually takes two visits. First, we gently prepare the tooth or teeth, take a precise digital impression, and place a temporary restoration so you are comfortable in the meantime. Your custom crown or bridge is crafted to match the shade and shape of your natural teeth. At the second visit, we check the fit and bite and permanently bond it in place.
Materials Built to Last
We use strong, natural-looking materials such as porcelain and ceramic that blend seamlessly with your smile. Your dentist will help you choose the option that best balances durability and appearance for the tooth being restored, whether it is a front tooth that needs a flawless match or a molar that takes heavier chewing force.
Caring for Your Restoration
With good habits, crowns and bridges can last many years. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily, including under a bridge, keep up with regular checkups and cleanings, and avoid using your teeth to open packages or chew ice. We will show you simple techniques to keep your restoration and the teeth around it healthy.
