Restore Your Beautiful, Healthy Smile
Are you looking for solutions to restore a weak, damaged, or missing tooth?

Our custom restorations will restore your smile's health, function, and seamless appearance. We strive to provide you with a patient experience that exceeds your expectations.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is an aesthetic, tooth-shaped restoration that fully encases a weak or damaged tooth, strengthening it and restoring its health and function. We may recommend a crown to restore a tooth with deep decay or a large filling, cover a tooth after root canal treatment, repair a severely worn tooth, relieve pain from a cracked or fractured tooth, or replace one or more teeth by covering a dental implant or providing support for a dental bridge. Dental crowns can also make cosmetic enhancements, improving a tooth's color, size, shape, or overall appearance.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed custom restoration designed to replace one or several missing teeth in a row. It consists of one or more prosthetic teeth, known as pontics, secured to crowns on natural teeth on either side of the gap, known as abutment teeth. Completing your smile with a dental bridge helps restore your ability to chew, prevents the nearby teeth from shifting, and delivers seamless results.
What Can You Expect?
Here's a look at what you can expect when transforming your smile at Berry Family Dentistry:
- Step 1: The first step in your dental crown procedure is numbing the area for your comfort. Next, we will reshape your affected tooth to accommodate your restoration. Placing a dental bridge is a similar process, involving the preparation of the teeth adjacent to the gap to support the dental crowns that will hold your new bridge in place.
- Step 2: Once your teeth are prepared, we will take impressions that are used as blueprints for your new custom crown or bridge. Meanwhile, we will place a temporary restoration to protect your prepared teeth as your restoration is fabricated.
- Step 3: When your dental crown or bridge is ready, we will ensure it provides a perfect color match and ideal fit before cementing it in place. We will make any needed adjustments to provide a comfortable bite and optimal function. Your new crown or bridge will leave you with a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- Enhancing Your Smile: Your dental crowns and bridges are designed to closely match your natural teeth, delivering seamless smiles.
- Restoring Function: Your dental crown or bridge will allow you to enjoy more of your favorite foods, speak more clearly, and smile confidently once again.
- Preserving Alignment: Your new restoration will prevent your remaining teeth from drifting toward the gap, preserving the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- Offering Oral Health Benefits: Your crown or bridge will redistribute the forces of your bite, reducing tooth wear, fracture, or even TMJ discomfort.
- Boosting Your Confidence: Transforming your smile can help you feel more comfortable and confident at work, school, or in social situations.
- Providing Long-Lasting Results: Our high-quality restorations are crafted to withstand the test of time, lasting for many years with excellent oral hygiene and regular visits to Berry Family Dentistry for dental exams and cleanings.
