Dental Crowns & Bridges

in Plano, TX

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It’s often used when a tooth is cracked, decayed, or weakened after procedures like root canal therapy or large fillings. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes—to reshape or improve the color of a tooth.

At Plano Family Dental, we offer several crown materials, including:

• All-metal crowns for maximum durability
• Ceramic-on-metal crowns for strength and aesthetics
• All-ceramic crowns for a completely natural look, especially on front teeth

Dr. Varun Joseph works closely with each patient to determine the ideal crown material based on the tooth’s location and your personal goals. Our crowns are made with precision to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that blends flawlessly with your natural teeth. As part of our cosmetic dentistry services, crowns can even be used to completely transform the look of your smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge may be the right solution. A bridge is a non-surgical, fixed restoration that “bridges the gap” left by missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by crowns bonded to the adjacent healthy teeth.

This method not only restores your bite and ability to chew comfortably, but also keeps neighboring teeth from shifting and preserves the shape of your face. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are cemented in place for long-lasting stability and a more natural feel.

Dental bridges are one of the many restorative dentistry solutions we offer at Plano Family Dental to help patients regain full function and confidence in their smiles—without the need for surgery or implants.
