Crown & Bridge
Restore damaged, broken, or missing teeth with durable, natural-looking crowns and bridges - carefully crafted to match your natural teeth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth - restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended after root canal treatment, to protect a cracked tooth, or to restore a tooth that has broken down significantly.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (or teeth) bridging the space. Bridges offer a non-surgical option for tooth replacement that can look and function very naturally.
At Shine Dental Newington, crowns and bridges are crafted to match the colour, shape, and contour of your natural teeth - using high-quality dental materials. Dr. Cho will take impressions and discuss the most appropriate material for your specific situation, whether that is porcelain, ceramic, or porcelain-fused-to-metal.
Treatment typically involves two appointments: the first to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and the second to fit the final restoration. A temporary crown is placed between appointments to protect the prepared tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does getting a crown or bridge take?
Crown and bridge treatment typically requires two appointments, spaced one to two weeks apart. The first appointment involves preparing the tooth and taking impressions; the second involves fitting the final, laboratory-made restoration.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The preparation procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the appointment. Some sensitivity in the days following preparation is normal and usually temporary.
Is a bridge better than an implant for a missing tooth?
Both have advantages. A bridge is a non-surgical, often faster option that can work well in many situations. An implant replaces the tooth root and does not require modification of adjacent teeth. Dr. Cho will discuss both options and help you decide based on your specific situation.
