Crowns and Bridges in Cary, NC

When you have damaged or missing teeth, it can affect more than your self-confidence; it can impact the way you speak and your ability to eat all the foods you love. With dental crowns and bridges from Darren G. Koch, D.D.S., P.A. Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, you can refurbish your smile’s appearance, as well as its strength and function.

We can restore or replace one or more missing teeth with either a traditional crown or bridge or an implant-supported bridge, providing you with ultimate stability. We match your dental restoration to the color and shape of your natural teeth so it blends seamlessly with your smile and offers long-term oral health benefits.

What Can a Dental Crown or Bridge Do for Your Smile?

When you replace one or more missing teeth with a dental crown or bridge, you can expect both cosmetic benefits and improved oral health outcomes. These common dental restorations offer long-term solutions to numerous dental concerns. Some of the many ways crowns and bridges can improve your smile include:

Restored Function

You’ll be able to chew and speak properly again and say goodbye to unsightly gaps in your smile.

Enhanced Protection

Your dental crown will cover your weakened or decayed tooth, protecting it from further damage.

Improved Look

You’ll enjoy natural-looking aesthetic beauty; your new smile will blend seamlessly with your other teeth.

Boosted Confidence

You can smile confidently and look forward to socializing again; your days of feeling self-conscious are over!

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a customized cap that fits over your entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength while preventing extraction. A dental crown keeps your other teeth from shifting and restores your bite alignment.

We use dental crowns when you have:

A large filling
Severe decay
A root canal
A broken or chipped tooth
Cosmetic stains or misshapen teeth

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, filling the gaps in your smile. A traditional bridge is anchored by your adjacent teeth on either side, effectively “bridging the gap” left by missing teeth.

An implant-supported bridge doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support; instead, the bridge is attached to dental implants that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Implant-supported bridges work well when you have several missing teeth, providing excellent stability and preserving your jawbone health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dental crown or bridge be noticeable?

Worried your dental work will show? You're not alone. It's completely normal to wonder if a dental crown or bridge will look obvious, especially if it's restoring a front tooth. After all, your smile is one of the first things people notice.

At Darren G. Koch, D.D.S., P.A. Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that patients want both strength and beauty from their dental restorations. That’s why we use high-quality materials and personalized design techniques to make your crown or bridge blend in naturally so no one will notice but you.

Will My Crown or Bridge Be Noticeable?

Not at all! Modern dental crowns and bridges are crafted with aesthetics in mind. We use tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain or zirconia, that are carefully matched to the shade, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. These materials reflect light much like natural enamel, making them nearly indistinguishable from your real teeth.

In your consultation, Dr. Koch will take time to examine your bite, tooth color, and overall smile to ensure your restoration looks seamless and functions comfortably. Whether you need a single crown for a damaged tooth or a bridge to replace a missing one, your restoration will be designed to feel like it’s always been there.

Thanks to advancements in dental technology, your crown or bridge won’t just restore function; it will restore your confidence.
