Dental Crowns in Schoharie, NY
Dental crowns and bridges are proven restorative solutions for repairing damaged teeth or replacing missing ones. A crown acts as a protective cap, strengthening a weakened or broken tooth while restoring its shape and function. A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored securely by neighboring teeth or implants. These restorations are custom-made for a natural appearance and a precise fit, helping to preserve your bite, prevent shifting teeth, and improve overall oral health. Whether you’re restoring a single tooth or multiple, crowns and bridges offer reliable, long-lasting results.
01.
Process
We start with a consultation, prep the tooth, take impressions and place a temporary crown or bridge. Then we send the impressions to a dental lab. Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return for your placement appointment, during which we’ll check the fit and bite, make any needed adjustments and cement the crown or bridge securely for long-term durability.
02.
Next Steps
Once your crown or bridge is placed, you may experience mild sensitivity, which usually fades within a few days. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing gently around the affected teeth and schedule regular checkups to ensure that the crown or bridge stays in good condition. If your bite feels off or you notice discomfort that doesn’t go away, give us a call so we can make quick adjustments.
