Some types of dental health problems need more than a simple filling. Cracked and broken teeth, especially molars, need strong reinforcement to keep them from breaking down further. Deep decay, root canal treatments, and failing dental work can weaken your teeth and may not leave enough healthy tooth structures to support fillings.
Missing teeth must be replaced promptly to prevent further damage to your remaining teeth. This may all feel overwhelming but don’t worry. Our expert team at St. Marks Painless Dental has the technology and expertise to custom craft strong, durable dental crowns and bridges in Brooklyn, NY, so that you can get back to living life to the fullest with a functional and beautiful smile!
Dental crowns, sometimes called tooth caps, are ideal for improving the strength, durability, and appearance of even severely damaged teeth. A dental crown is a restoration that surrounds the visible top portion of a tooth. This adds stability and prevents cracks from propagating deeper into the tooth structure, making it unsalvageable.
Made from durable ceramic materials that mimic the look and feel of natural enamel, each tooth crown will blend seamlessly into your smile, making crowns a crucial part of many cosmetic dentistry treatment plans.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth with a false tooth, or several false teeth, fused to dental crowns on either side. These crowns can fit over healthy natural teeth on either side of a gap or be set onto dental implants to replace several teeth without needing individual implants for each missing tooth.
Made from strong, durable materials, dental bridges can withstand normal biting forces, restoring your ability to eat a variety of foods comfortably. Timely tooth replacement with a bridge can prevent your other teeth from shifting or becoming worn from an uneven bite. Bridges are crafted to look like individual teeth, making them an excellent option for restoring the beauty of a complete smile.

Dental crowns and bridges are reliable, affordable options for saving your smile. However, the exact cost of crown and bridge work varies depending on the unique details of your case. For example, we want to ensure ideal durability and strength for crowns on molars, which need to withstand heavy biting and chewing forces. We may choose different materials for front teeth to provide perfect aesthetics. To place crowns and bridges properly, you may need additional treatments such as crown lengthening.
We understand that the cost of dental crowns and bridges may be difficult to manage for some, and we’ll work with you to find dental financing solutions that work with your budget. Our priority in all cases is to ensure your restorations improve the function of your bite, enhance the beauty of your smile, and last as long as possible, so your investment in your oral health will pay dividends for years to come.
