Our dentists in Flushing and Bayside use modern materials and techniques to create crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly with your smile.

What Are Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are custom restorations used to strengthen, protect, or replace teeth.

Dental Crowns

A crown is a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. It is often recommended when a tooth is:

• Cracked or broken
• Severely decayed
• Weakened after root canal therapy
• Worn down or misshapen
• Restored with a large filling that needs support

Crowns help protect the tooth and restore your ability to chew comfortably.

Dental Bridges

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It uses neighboring teeth as anchors to support an artificial tooth (or teeth) in the gap.

A bridge may be recommended when:

• A tooth has been lost due to decay, injury, or extraction
• You want a fixed, non-removable tooth replacement
• You’re not a candidate for or prefer to avoid dental implants

Both restorations are custom-made to match your natural tooth color and shape.

Do I Need a Crown or Bridge?

You may benefit from a crown or bridge if you experience:

• A damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth
• A large filling that compromises tooth structure
• A missing tooth that affects chewing or your smile
• Sensitivity due to enamel loss
• Teeth shifting after a recent extraction
• Difficulty chewing on one side
• Cosmetic concerns due to a damaged or missing tooth

Our Queens dentists will perform a detailed exam and recommend the best option for your needs.

Does Getting a Crown or Bridge Hurt?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use gentle techniques and local anesthetic to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

During your visit, you may expect:

• Local numbing for comfort
• Minimal pressure during preparation
• Temporary restoration while your permanent crown/bridge is created

Any post-visit tenderness typically fades within a few days.

Aftercare and Recovery

Once your crown or bridge is placed, we recommend:

• Brushing twice a day and flossing carefully around the restoration
• Avoiding very sticky or hard foods for the first 24 hours
• Using a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Returning for regular checkups to monitor gum health and stability

Proper care helps extend the lifespan of your restoration.
