Dental Crowns and Bridges in Lewisville, TX

At Hillside Dental, we offer crowns in various materials. Dr. Jeon will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the material that's best for you.

Have a look at some of our metal-free crown options:

• E-Max crowns are the newest types of crowns. They are made of a highly durable and translucent material called lithium disilicate ceramic. This type of crown delivers the most natural look ever.
• Zirconia crowns are made of zirconium dioxide, a practically indestructible ceramic material. They are long-lasting and provide an exceptional match to your natural teeth.
• All Porcelain/Ceramic crowns provide a close color and texture match to your natural teeth. They deliver aesthetic results for a seamless smile.

We will start by administering a local anesthetic and will prepare the tooth by removing some of its structure to accommodate your new crown. Next, we will make a mold of the tooth and send it to our dental laboratory for fabrication. We'll place a temporary crown on your prepared tooth while you wait.

Once your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office. We will evaluate your new restoration for a correct fit, make any needed adjustments, and then cement it in place. Your new crown will match the color and appearance of the surrounding teeth with beautifully natural results. 

Dental bridges are restorations that "bridge" gaps left by missing teeth. A bridge comes with one or more replacement teeth attached to crowns on existing teeth or implants on either side of the space.

Here are some reasons you may require a dental bridge:

• Leaving a gap in your smile can be devastating to your oral health. The adjacent teeth may start shifting into the space, causing misaligned teeth and problems with your bite.
• The imbalance created by missing a tooth can lead to periodontal disease and TMJ problems.
• Replacing your missing tooth or teeth with a dental bridge will help you speak more clearly, chew better, and smile with confidence once again.

We'll start by preparing the teeth on either side of the gap by placing crowns or implants to create an anchor for your bridge. Next, we will take impressions of your teeth to serve as a model for your crowns, bridge, and artificial teeth. As our laboratory creates your restoration, we'll place a temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth.

During a follow-up appointment, we'll evaluate your new bridge to ensure it proves the best fit and function. Next, we'll make any adjustments needed and secure your bridge in place.
