Dental Crowns and Bridges in Prince Frederick, MD
Dental crowns and bridges are custom restorations that repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones. Our crowns cap compromised teeth, while bridges fill gaps using neighboring teeth for support. Crowns and bridges are crafted to match your natural teeth in color and shape, ensuring a comfortable fit and improving aesthetics.

Process
Initial Consultation
We start with a thorough exam. We assess your oral health, discuss your goals and take detailed impressions of your teeth to craft a personalized treatment plan.
Tooth Preparation
-
Crowns: The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to accommodate the crown.
-
Bridges: The adjacent teeth (abutments) are prepared to support the bridge.
Impressions and Temporary Restorations
We take impressions and send them to our dental lab. The dental lab will fabricate your permanent crown or bridge. Meanwhile, a temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth and maintains function.

Next Steps
Fitting and Adjustment
Once your custom restorations are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. We will ensure proper bite, comfort and aesthetics during this appointment and make adjustments as needed.
Permanent Placement
After confirming the fit, we securely cement your crown or bridge into place. The final result looks natural and functions like your original teeth.
Follow-up and Maintenance
We recommend scheduling routine follow-ups to check the integrity of your restorations and your overall oral health. Proper brushing, flossing and regular cleanings will help ensure longevity.

Dental Checkup
Dental checkups are the foundation of preventive oral care. These routine visits—typically recommended every six months—allow your dentist to monitor your oral health, clean your teeth professionally and identify issues early before they become more serious or costly. A standard checkup usually includes a dental exam, teeth cleaning, scans, X-rays if necessary and screenings for conditions like gum disease or oral cancer.
