Crown and bridge restorations are commonly used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. These restorations are designed to improve strength, comfort, appearance, and everyday function while supporting long-term oral health.
At Cohen & Cohen Dental Group, treatment is personalized to each patient’s needs. Careful planning, attention to detail, and a focus on fit and function help create restorations that feel comfortable and blend naturally with your smile.
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, wear, or previous treatment. It is shaped to resemble a natural tooth while restoring strength and stability.
Crowns may be recommended when a filling is no longer enough to support the tooth or when additional protection is needed to preserve remaining structure.

An examination helps determine whether a crown, bridge, or another option is most appropriate.
Treatment typically begins with an evaluation of the teeth, gums, and bite. The affected teeth are prepared, and impressions or digital scans may be taken to create a custom restoration.
A temporary restoration may be placed while the final crown or bridge is being made. Once ready, the final restoration is carefully fitted and adjusted for comfort and function.
Restoring damaged or missing teeth can help improve day-to-day comfort while supporting the health of surrounding teeth and gums. Properly fitted restorations may also help distribute bite forces more evenly.
With regular dental visits and good home care, crowns and bridges can remain an important part of maintaining a healthy smile.
Crown and bridge restorations can help rebuild comfort, stability, and confidence when teeth are damaged or missing. Personalized treatment planning helps create results that support both function and appearance.
