Dental crowns and bridges are trusted restorative treatments that repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones, helping you eat comfortably and smile with confidence. At Greene Dental Associates in Fairborn, Ohio, Dr. Percy Torkornoo provides custom crowns and bridges designed to look natural and function well.
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It may be recommended when a tooth has a large filling, a crack, or significant decay, or after root canal treatment to protect the tooth. The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while blending in with your surrounding teeth.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored to neighboring healthy teeth or dental implants. By filling the gap, a bridge prevents nearby teeth from shifting, maintains your bite, and restores your ability to chew and speak clearly.
During your visit, Dr. Torkornoo will examine your teeth, take images, and discuss whether a crown, bridge, or another option suits your needs. The tooth is prepared, and precise impressions or digital scans are taken. A temporary restoration is placed while your permanent crown or bridge is crafted. At a follow-up appointment, the final restoration is fitted, adjusted for comfort, and securely bonded.
Modern crowns and bridges are made from durable, tooth-colored materials that mimic natural enamel. With good brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, they can provide many years of reliable service. Ask us whether a same-day crown could work for your tooth.
