Gain a Full Smile Again
We craft your crowns and dental bridges from a variety of materials, including porcelain, porcelain-over-metal, and titanium. Below are some of the most popular ways we use these restorations:
- Single Crown for Tooth Repair - Dr. Stanfield will cover your damaged tooth with a beautiful crown. It will strengthen it and prevent further problems.
- Fixed Dental Bridge - This type of bridge uses your natural teeth as anchors with one or more artificial teeth in the middle, known as pontics.
- Implant-Supported Crown - To replace a missing tooth, we'll anchor your crown with a dental implant. It functions like a regular tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge - Rather than being anchored to your other teeth, we can anchor your bridge to implants.
These versatile restoration options address virtually any tooth damage or loss situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
The exact lifetime you can expect from your new crown or bridge will depend on several factors, including the material used to construct the restoration, its location in your mouth, and your individual oral hygiene habits. In general, however, you can expect your crown or bridge to last at least five to seven years.
What can dental crowns and bridges be used for?
Dental crowns and bridges are versatile dental restorations that provide our patients with many types of teeth repair. A crown by itself will cap a damaged tooth and strengthen it. Or it can be used with an implant to replace a tooth. Likewise, bridges can be used either by themselves or with dental implants.
How many teeth can a bridge replace?
The number of teeth that can be replaced by a bridge is dependent on several factors, including the number and condition of your remaining teeth. While it can be used to replace a single tooth, a bridge more commonly fills a gap left by two or more teeth. A conventional restoration is supported by crowns attached to the teeth that surround the space you want to fill. The more missing teeth you have, the more crowns will be needed for support. For added strength and to avoid altering healthy teeth for crowns, we can anchor a bridge to dental implants instead.
