Are You a Suitable Candidate?
Crowns and bridges work well for most patients with damaged, weakened, or missing teeth. You’re likely a good candidate if you have:
A cracked, heavily decayed, or worn-down tooth
A tooth that’s had root canal treatment and needs reinforcement
One or more missing teeth with healthy neighboring teeth or adequate bone support
Dr. Khatri will examine your teeth, gums, and bite with digital X-rays to confirm the right restoration for you.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown (or “cap”) is a custom-made cover that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored using the natural teeth or crowns on either side of the gap — a fixed, non-removable replacement that restores your bite and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.
Types of Crowns and Bridges We Offer
Metal crowns
Strong and durable, often used for back teeth.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns
Combine metal strength with a tooth-colored porcelain layer.
All-ceramic/zirconia crowns
Closely match natural tooth color, popular for front teeth.
Traditional bridges
Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth.
Implant-supported bridges
Anchored to dental implants, useful when several teeth in a row are missing.
The Crown and Bridge Procedure at Wonder Smile
Examination & Planning
Dr. Khatri examines the tooth or gap, takes X-rays or scans, and discusses the best option.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is reshaped slightly, and an impression or digital scan is taken.
Temporary Crown
Protects the prepared tooth while your permanent restoration is fabricated at the lab.
Fitting & Cementing
Your permanent crown or bridge is checked for fit and bite, then cemented in place.
Most patients are comfortable throughout and return to normal activity quickly.
Caring for Your Crown or Bridge
Brush twice daily and floss carefully around the restoration, especially under bridge connectors.
Avoid biting down on very hard foods like ice or hard candy.
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Keep up with regular dental check-ups so Dr. Khatri can monitor the fit and condition of your restoration.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Quick answers to the questions patients ask us most about crowns and bridges. Have another question? Browse our full dental FAQs.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, crowns and bridges can last many years, depending on materials used and how well they’re cared for.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia during preparation, so the procedure itself shouldn’t hurt. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is common.
Can a bridge be used if I'm missing several teeth?
It depends on how many teeth are missing and their location. For longer gaps, an implant-supported bridge is often stronger than a traditional tooth-supported bridge.
How many visits does a crown or bridge take?
Typically two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to fit the permanent restoration once fabricated.
What's the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a small area of a tooth, while a crown covers the entire visible portion, used when there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure left for a filling alone.
