Restorative Dentistry That Prioritizes Your Health and Confidence

When teeth are damaged, missing, or weakened, they affect more than just your smile—they can disrupt your bite, speech, and self-esteem. Dental crowns and bridges offer a reliable, aesthetic solution to help you regain full function and confidence.

At our Brooklyn dental office, we approach restorative dentistry with the same holistic, wellness-based philosophy that guides all our care. Our goal is to restore teeth and support your overall well-being through conservative, long-lasting dental treatments.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s strength and appearance, making them a versatile solution for various dental concerns.

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too compromised to be treated with a filling, but it still has a strong foundation worth preserving. They are also used to complete root canal therapy or restore a dental implant.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns serve both functional and cosmetic purposes, offering patients long-lasting benefits.

  • Reinforce weakened or fractured teeth
  • Protect teeth after root canal therapy
  • Restore the shape and appearance of worn or misshapen teeth
  • Cover severe discoloration or damage
  • Complete a dental implant

Materials Used for Crowns

At Brooklyn Oak Dental Care, we offer crowns crafted from high-quality, biocompatible materials to ensure a natural appearance and optimal durability.

  • Porcelain or Ceramic: Ideal for front teeth due to their natural look
  • Zirconia: Extremely strong and suitable for back teeth
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Combines aesthetics and strength
  • Gold Alloy: Less common but highly durable and gentle on surrounding teeth

We select the best material based on your unique dental needs, location of the tooth, and your personal preferences.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Bridges literally “bridge the gap” created by missing teeth and help restore oral function and facial balance.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Losing a tooth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, impact bite alignment, and make daily tasks like chewing more difficult. Dental bridges help prevent these complications while restoring a natural look.

  • Restore chewing function and speech clarity
  • Maintain facial structure and aesthetics
  • Prevent shifting of nearby teeth
  • Replace one or more adjacent missing teeth
  • Provide a fixed alternative to removable dentures

Types of Dental Bridges

There are several types of dental bridges, each designed for specific situations and needs.

  • Traditional Bridge: Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth
  • Cantilever Bridge: Attached to a single adjacent tooth when only one is available
  • Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth
  • Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth

During your consultation, we’ll determine the most appropriate bridge type for your situation based on the number of missing teeth and the health of surrounding structures.

What to Expect During Treatment

Every crown and bridge procedure begins with a personalized consultation and exam.

1. Evaluation and Planning

We assess your dental health, take digital images or impressions, and discuss your treatment goals. This step helps us design a solution that restores your bite and smile.

2. Tooth Preparation

For crowns and traditional bridges, the supporting teeth are carefully reshaped to accommodate the restoration. If an implant-supported bridge is planned, we’ll coordinate implant placement before bridge fabrication.

3. Impression and Temporary

We take precise impressions of your teeth and place a temporary crown or bridge while a trusted dental lab is crafting your final restoration.

4. Final Placement

Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we bond it in place, check for proper fit and bite, and make minor adjustments as needed.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge

Dental crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or more with proper care. Maintenance involves the same habits that protect your natural teeth.

  • Brush twice daily and floss carefully around the restoration
  • Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under bridges
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens
  • Visit us regularly for cleanings and exams

Our team will guide you through best practices for home care and monitor the integrity of your restoration at each appointment.
