What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is too compromised for a filling or bonding but can still be saved.
Common reasons for a crown include:
- Large cavities or fractures
- Cracked or worn-down teeth
- Following a root canal treatment
- To protect a tooth with a large filling
- To restore aesthetics to a misshapen or discolored tooth
- To complete a dental implant
Our crowns are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. We use strong, durable materials and precise digital impressions to ensure the best possible fit and function.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. The result is a seamless restoration that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Bridges may be the right solution if you:
- Are missing a tooth (or several teeth in a row)
- Prefer a fixed alternative to partial dentures
- Want to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting
- Are not a candidate for implants or want a non-surgical option
We design your bridge to blend naturally with your existing teeth, ensuring both comfort and long-term stability.
Our Process for Crowns and Bridges
Every treatment at Starbody Dental begins with a personalized exam and one-on-one consultation. If a crown or bridge is recommended, here’s what you can expect:
Digital Scanning
We use intraoral scanners — not messy impressions — to capture precise 3D images of your teeth for accurate fit and comfort.
Tooth Preparation
For crowns, we shape the tooth to allow space for the restoration. For bridges, the supporting teeth are also prepared.
Temporary Restoration
A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your final restoration is being custom-fabricated.
Final Placement
Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we cement it securely, check the bite, and ensure everything feels and looks right.

Absolutely. We welcome patients returning to care after time away and offer compassionate, non-judgmental support. Our team will walk you through every step.
Do crowns and bridges look natural?
