At Miami Village Dental, we offer high-quality dental crown and bridge work to restore the function and aesthetics of your teeth. Whether you need to strengthen a heavily restored tooth or replace missing teeth, our experienced dentists are here to provide you with long-lasting solutions that look and feel natural.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, decayed, or heavily restored tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, allowing it to function like a natural tooth. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, have large fillings, or are cracked or worn down.
The tooth is carefully shaped to allow the crown to fit snugly. This involves removing a small amount of the tooth’s structure.
An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a model for the custom crown.
A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is being made.
Once the custom crown is ready, it is cemented onto the prepared tooth, restoring its full function and appearance.
Known for their natural appearance, porcelain crowns are ideal for front teeth.
These crowns offer strength and a natural look, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
Made from gold or other alloys, these crowns are extremely durable and are typically used for molars.
Known for their strength and aesthetic appeal, zirconia crowns are a popular choice for both front and back teeth.
Your dentist will help you decide the best type of crown based on your specific needs and preferences.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) with a false tooth (pontic) in between. The crowns are attached to the natural teeth or dental implants, securely holding the bridge in place.
Restores Function: Allows you to chew and speak properly by filling the gap left by missing teeth.
Prevents Teeth Shifting: Keeps your remaining teeth in their proper position, preventing them from shifting out of alignment.
Aesthetic Improvement: Bridges help restore your smile, giving you confidence in your appearance.
Cost-Effective: Bridges are often more affordable than dental implants while still providing effective tooth replacement.
Your dentist will assess your oral health and prepare the abutment teeth by shaping them to fit the crowns.

A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while your permanent bridge is being made.

Used when there is only one abutment tooth available.
A conservative option that uses metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth.
For those who are missing multiple teeth, these bridges are anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth.
We provide personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific dental needs, ensuring that your crowns and bridges fit comfortably and look natural.
We use only the highest quality materials for our crowns and bridges, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.
Our dentists are highly skilled in restorative dentistry, with extensive experience in placing crowns and bridges.
We offer ongoing support and follow-up care to ensure that your crowns and bridges remain in excellent condition.
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups are key to extending their lifespan.
The process is generally not painful. Local anaesthesia is used during the preparation of the teeth, and any discomfort afterward is usually mild and temporary.
Yes, once your crown or bridge is in place, you can eat normally. However, it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods, as these can damage the crown or bridge.
Care for your crowns and bridges just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Your dentist may also recommend special flossing techniques to clean around the bridge.
Modern crowns and bridges are designed to look very natural. Porcelain and zirconia crowns, in particular, are made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable.
The cost varies depending on the materials used and the complexity of the case. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote and discuss payment options to help manage the cost.
