Dental crowns and dental bridges serve two different purposes. A crown is designed to restore and protect a damaged tooth or add the finishing touch to a dental implant, while a bridge is designed to fill the gap created when you lose a tooth while strengthening the adjacent teeth. A dental bridge typically consists of two crowns separated by a false tooth known as a pontic.
Dental crowns and bridges are typically made in a laboratory from porcelain, acrylic, and ceramic materials that can more closely match your natural teeth. Acrylic and ceramic options are durable and aesthetically pleasing. Some crowns are made of porcelain over metal to provide greater strength to the restoration. By practicing good oral hygiene and having regular dental cleanings, your crown or bridge should last many years.
I have been to Dr. Johnson to have my teeth cleaned and worked on twice this year. He is nothing but professional and very caring! I leave there each time knowing that I have received the best care for my teeth. Dr. Johnson and his staff made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door until the time I left. I have recommended Dr. Johnson and his staff to many of my friends and I know that they are satisfied with his work as well!

Erik and staff are wonderful. They are professional, friendly, quick, and thorough. I have gone to Erik for years and recently convinced my boyfriend, who previously hated going to the dentist, to switch and he has now recommended him to his friends and coworkers as well. Erik is straight forward yet possesses great bed side manner.
