Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over weakened or cracked teeth to restore strength, shape, and appearance; bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth between crowns on the neighboring teeth. Typically, teeth are reshaped under local anesthesia, decay is removed, and a digital scan/impression guides a custom fit; a temporary is worn until the final is cemented. At AVMSmiles, we confirm suitability with an exam and X-ray, offer zirconia or metal-ceramic options based on bite and esthetics, and usually deliver the final crown/bridge in 3–7 days. You’ll get clear, itemized costs upfront and instructions for cleaning around crowns and under bridges.
