Restore Your Smile with Durable, Natural-Looking Restorations at Avalon Dental
When your teeth are damaged, decayed, or missing, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue — it can affect your speech, the way you chew, and even your overall health. That’s why restoring your smile isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about regaining comfort, confidence, and function. At Avalon Dental in Queens, NY, we specialize in dental crowns and bridges that are custom-crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while giving you long-lasting support.
Whether you have a tooth that’s cracked after trauma, weakened by a large cavity, or missing entirely, our restorative treatments are designed to help you eat, speak, and smile with ease again. Crowns and bridges can strengthen compromised teeth, replace gaps, and prevent shifting or bite imbalances that might lead to further complications down the road.
We tailor every crown and bridge treatment to the individual — considering not just the clinical need, but also your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and budget. With access to high-quality materials like porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, we create restorations that are both durable and natural-looking.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, often called “caps,” are custom-made restorations that cover and protect a tooth that is broken, decayed, or weakened — essentially giving it a second life. Crowns are commonly recommended when:
- A tooth is severely damaged by decay or trauma
- A large filling has weakened the remaining tooth structure
- You’ve had a root canal and need to protect the tooth
- A cracked or broken tooth needs structural reinforcement
At Avalon Dental, we offer crowns in a variety of materials, including:
- All-porcelain
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal
- Zirconia
- Metal alloys, including gold (less commonly used, but highly durable)
The process typically takes two visits:
During your first appointment, the dentist will remove any decayed or damaged structure, rebuild the tooth (if needed), and take impressions for the final crown. A temporary crown is placed until your custom restoration is ready from the lab. At your second visit, we’ll securely place the permanent crown and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and fit.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (called pontics) to adjacent healthy teeth — which are fitted with crowns for support. This “bridges the gap” and restores proper chewing, speaking, and alignment.
Dental bridges are an ideal solution if:
- You’re missing 1–3 teeth in a row
- You prefer a fixed solution over removable dentures
- You want a more cost-effective alternative to implants
Bridges not only restore your smile but also prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and future complications.
