Crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth by covering or replacing them with custom-made restorations. A crown acts as a protective cap over a weakened or treated tooth, while a bridge uses crowns on neighboring teeth or implants to hold one or more artificial teeth in place—restoring function, appearance and bite alignment.

At East Cobb Dental, we specialize in dental crowns and bridges to restore strength, function and appearance to your smile. Whether you’re repairing a damaged tooth or replacing a missing one, Dr. Andrew H. Camp, DMD, delivers custom restorations using porcelain or zirconia for durability and natural results.

For missing teeth, a bridge fills the gap using artificial teeth anchored by neighboring crowns or implants—restoring your bite and preventing shifting.

01.
Process
Comprehensive Evaluation: Your restoration begins with a thorough consultation, including a full exam, discussion of your goals and digital impressions using the iTero® scanner to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Tooth Preparation: If you’re receiving a dental crown, the tooth is carefully reshaped to ensure a snug, natural fit. For a dental bridge, the adjacent teeth are gently prepared to act as anchors for a secure and stable restoration.
Impressions & Temporary Placement: After preparation, precise digital impressions are used to craft your custom crown or bridge. A temporary restoration is placed to protect your teeth and preserve normal function until your final restoration is ready for placement.

Next Steps
Fitting & Adjustment: Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return for a detailed fitting. The restoration is carefully placed and adjusted for a comfortable feel and natural bite, with fine-tuning to ensure proper alignment and function.
Permanent Placement: When everything fits just right, the crown or bridge is permanently cemented in place, restoring the strength, appearance and function of your smile. You’ll receive clear instructions on how to care for your restoration and keep it looking and feeling its best.
Follow-up & Maintenance: Regular dental checkups are recommended to monitor your crown or bridge and support its longevity. If you ever need adjustments or have questions, continued support is always available to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
