Restore Your Teeth With Dental Crown or Bridge

Seniors Smiling

If you have a damaged, weakened, or missing tooth, a dental crown or dental bridge can be a long-lasting solution that looks like your natural teeth.  At Sleep Dentistry, we provide custom-designed crowns and bridges at our dental practice in Portland and the two practices in Vancouver WA, to restore function and aesthetics, helping patients regain confidence in their smiles.

Maintenance for Dental Crowns & Bridges

Maintenance for crowns and bridges is pretty easy and much like taking care of your natural teeth.

  • Brush and floss daily to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Use a floss threader or water flosser for cleaning around bridges. 
  • Avoid chewing hard foods (ice, hard candy) that could damage restorations. 
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth to protect your crowns or bridges. 
  • Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.

What Are Dental Crowns & Bridges?

Dental Crowns

dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for:

✔ Protecting a weak or fractured tooth

✔ Restoring a severely decayed tooth

✔ Covering a dental implant

✔ Improving the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth

✔ Supporting a tooth after a root canal

Dental Bridges

dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges help:

✔ Restore your ability to chew and speak properly

✔ Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting

✔ Maintain facial structure and jawbone integrity

✔ Enhance the aesthetics of your smile

Your new tooth cap is designed using high-quality materials for durability and aesthetics. Each crown or bridge is crafted to match your natural tooth color, shape, and size.

The permanent crown or bridge is securely bonded into place. Adjustments are made for a comfortable bite and natural feel. The restoration is color -matched and polished to blend in with your smile.
