Crowns and Bridges

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit snugly over your natural tooth, encasing the visible portion above the gum line. At NJ Laser Dentistry, we make our crowns out of high-quality porcelain for a durable and completely natural-looking restoration. Crowns mimic the shape, color, strength, and appearance of your natural teeth.

A crown is typically needed to restore the size, shape, strength, or appearance of a tooth that has been damaged by decay, disease, or injury. This permanent covering will last for years and blend seamlessly with your other teeth.

In most cases, we can place your crown in two visits. We're also able to offer a wide range of dental lab services on-site, which means in many cases we can provide same-day restorations such as crowns and veneers.

Bridges and Partials

If you have lost one or more teeth, a bridge is likely your best option. A bridge is a replacement tooth anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges help improve your bite and can even prevent jaw issues like TMJ.

Bridges are designed to "bridge the gap" between one or more missing teeth and typically consist of two or more crowns fused together and attached to the surrounding teeth.

Why replace missing teeth?

If teeth that have been lost are not replaced, the remaining teeth can tip, drift, or extrude into the empty spaces, causing both aesthetic and functional problems within your mouth. Dental bridges and partial dentures are common, effective ways to replace missing teeth in adults.
