What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. Dr. Varun Joseph will typically use a crown to restore a tooth that has been damaged, but they can also be used for cosmetic purposes in order to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can be made in three different materials: all-metal, ceramic-on-metal, and all-ceramic. Where the crown is located will determine the best material to use.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. At Plano Family Dental, we provide clients with dental bridges if they want to replace a tooth without wearing dentures or undergoing surgery. The new tooth is held in place by two crowns and looks natural.

The Dental Crowns & Bridges Process
Step 1
If you are getting dental crowns or a dental bridge for cosmetic reasons, we recommend that you whiten your teeth first. The material that crowns and bridges are made out of are both stain and bleach resistant. That means that if they are created to match yellow teeth, they will remain yellow even if you whiten later.
Step 2
When getting dental crowns and dental bridges installed, it is advisable that you work with an experienced cosmetic dentist who knows how to complete the procedure in a way that looks natural. At Plano Family Dental, we use sedation dentistry to ensure our patients' comfort throughout the process. After impressions are taken, the lab creates the dental crowns or bridges. A temporary crown will be placed until the permanent one is ready.
Step 3
Your teeth may be sensitive after preparation, and you will wear a temporary crown while the permanent one is created. We use sedation to minimize discomfort, and you will need to take pain medication for a few days after the procedure. A dental crown surrounds and protects a tooth, restoring its functionality. Similarly, a bridge allows for normal eating and speaking by replacing missing teeth with a secure solution.
