What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Damaged, cracked, or missing teeth can make everyday moments feel harder than they should. At Bentley Dental, we offer custom dental crowns and bridges that don’t just restore your teeth—they restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Because strong, natural-looking teeth aren’t just about health. They’re about freedom.
Dental crowns and bridges are durable, long-lasting restorations designed to protect damaged teeth or replace missing ones, while maintaining a natural appearance and functional bite.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.
Perfect for:
Broken or worn-down teeth
Large fillings that compromise tooth strength
Protecting teeth after a root canal
Enhancing the look of misshapen or discolored teeth
Dental Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth or implants. They fill gaps, restore function, and help maintain facial structure.
Perfect for:
Filling gaps between teeth
Preventing shifting or bite collapse
Restoring chewing ability and speech
Maintaining jaw alignment

What to Expect From the Process
1. Comprehensive Consultation
We assess your oral health, discuss goals, and use digital imaging to develop a tailored treatment plan.
2. Tooth Preparation & Impressions
For crowns, we gently shape the tooth and take precise impressions. For bridges, we prepare the anchor teeth.
3. Temporary Restoration (if needed)
While your permanent crown or bridge is crafted, we provide a temporary option to maintain appearance and function.
4. Final Placement
Your permanent crown or bridge is placed with precision, adjusted for comfort, and bonded for long-term strength.
Real Results That Restore More Than Teeth
When your teeth are whole again, you don’t just gain structure—you gain confidence.
Whether you’re biting into your favorite food, talking without hesitation, or smiling fully in photos, the right dental restoration makes a difference you can feel every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
A dental crown is a custom “cap” that fully covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance to protect against further damage.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to crowns placed on the surrounding healthy teeth, filling the gap and restoring function.
Yes. Crowns rebuild broken or decayed teeth, while bridges use crowns to anchor replacements, making them reliable solutions for restoring your smile and oral health.
Typically it takes two visits: the first to prepare your teeth and create molds; the second to place the custom restoration. Advanced options like CEREC same-day technology can often complete the process in one appointment.
With regular care—brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups—they usually last 10 to 15 years or longer, depending on materials and usage.
No. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia and are generally comfortable. Some sensitivity after the appointment is common and temporary.
Same-day crowns use digital scanning and in-office milling (CAD/CAM) to create and place your restoration in one visit—no temporary crown needed.
Cost varies based on materials (porcelain, zirconia, metal), procedure complexity, and technology used. Many practices offer consultations to review pricing and possible insurance or financing options.
Not necessarily. Same-day crowns often cost roughly the same as traditional lab-made ones, but with added convenience of one-visit treatment.
Absolutely. These treatments not only improve function and oral health but can also boost confidence, appearance, and quality of life.
Look for experience in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, use of modern technology (like digital impressions or CEREC), clear pricing, strong reviews, and friendly, personalized care.
