Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges
Conyers, GA
Whether you have a damaged tooth that needs protection or a gap left by a missing tooth, dental crowns and bridges offer a durable, natural-looking solution. A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a weakened, cracked, or heavily restored tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge uses two crowns anchored to the teeth on either side of a gap to support one or more artificial teeth in between — literally bridging the space left by tooth loss. At our Conyers dental office, we design crowns and bridges to blend seamlessly with your natural smile in terms of color, size, and shape. Both restorations are long-lasting with proper care and can significantly improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. If you’re dealing with a damaged or missing tooth in Conyers, GA, our team will walk you through all your options and help you find the best path forward.

Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges FAQ's
When does a tooth need a crown?
A crown is typically recommended when a tooth is cracked, severely decayed, broken, or has had a root canal. It protects what’s left of the tooth and restores it to full function.
Is a bridge a good alternative to a dental implant?
A bridge is a great option for many patients — it’s less invasive, requires no surgery, and is often more affordable than an implant. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each based on your specific situation.
What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?
Over time, neighboring teeth can shift into the gap, your bite can change, and bone loss can occur in the area. Replacing a missing tooth with a bridge helps preserve the alignment and health of your surrounding teeth.
How do I care for a crown or bridge?
Brush and floss as normal – just take extra care to clean under the bridge using floss threaders or a water flosser. Regular checkups will help us monitor the restoration and catch any issues early.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the appointment. Some sensitivity and mild soreness afterward is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
Yes. We custom-match the color, shape, and size of your restoration to your surrounding teeth so it blends in seamlessly with your smile.
