Dental Crowns and Bridges Near Cincinnati, OH
Dental crowns and bridges are effective restorations when teeth are lost or severely damaged. They look natural and offer much-needed assistance with chewing and speaking. At our clinic, we use high-quality materials to ensure that the crowns and bridges last as long as possible and perform exceptionally well.
We ensure that your dental crowns and bridges match your natural teeth and function properly. Typically, you will need to make at least two visits when receiving dental crowns or bridges. During the initial appointment, we will take molds of your teeth and send them to a dental lab. Once the crown or bridge is ready, you can return to have it fitted to ensure that it fits properly.

The Process
- Your visit begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Your tooth is carefully prepared. For a crown, the affected tooth is reshaped. For a bridge, the supporting teeth are prepared.
- Impressions are taken to create your custom restoration, and a temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth while the final restoration is being made.
- Once your permanent restoration is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and function, and permanently secured in place.

Next Steps
- Follow the care instructions you receive to help protect your new restoration.
- Brush and floss daily to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
- Schedule regular dental checkups so your dentist can monitor your crown or bridge and your overall oral health.
