Overview

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are two of the most effective restorative treatments for repairing damaged teeth or replacing missing ones.

What’s the difference between crowns and bridges?

  • Dental crown: Sometimes called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a weakened, broken, or severely decayed tooth. It restores both appearance and strength, allowing you to chew, smile, and speak comfortably.
  • Dental bridge: Replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to neighboring natural teeth or implants. It bridges the gap in your smile and restores balance to your bite.
If you’re looking for the best fixed bridge dentist in Pflugerville, we’re here to help. We take pride in crafting crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Using advanced materials and precision technology, Dr. Chris Mun, Dr. Joann Lee, and Dr. Ki Chung ensure every restoration looks natural, feels comfortable, and lasts for years.

How Do You Know if You Need a Dental Crown or a Dental Bridge?

During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough exam and digital scan to determine whether a crown, bridge, or combination of both is the best solution for your smile.

You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:

  • A tooth that’s cracked, chipped, or fractured
  • A tooth weakened by decay or a large filling
  • A misshapen or discolored tooth you’d like to improve
  • A tooth that’s undergone root canal therapy
  • A dental implant needing a restoration

You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:

  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Want a fixed (non-removable) solution
  • Prefer a faster alternative to dental implants
  • Want to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place

Our Process

What to Expect During Treatment

Our modern materials, such as porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic, offer durability and lifelike translucency for a beautiful, long-lasting result.

Your dental crown or bridge treatment at our Pflugerville office typically takes two visits:

Preparation and design

We begin by preparing the affected tooth (or teeth) and taking precise digital impressions with no messy molds required. These scans are sent to a trusted dental lab, where your custom crown or bridge is crafted to match your tooth color, shape, and bite perfectly.

Temporary and final placement

A temporary restoration is placed while your permanent one is being made. Once ready, we’ll bond your custom crown or bridge securely in place, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look.

Aftercare
