Crowns & bridges
Dental Crowns & Bridges in Terrell, TX
A crown rescues a damaged tooth. A bridge replaces a missing one. Both live or die on fit — which is why ours start with a digital scan of your bite, not a guess.
When a tooth needs a crown
Cracked, broken, root-canal-treated, or filled so many times there's more filling than tooth — a crown caps and protects what's left so you keep the tooth. Digital impressions and careful shade-matching mean it fits your bite and matches its neighbors.
Bridges — and the honest comparison
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns on the neighbors. It's proven and often insurance-friendly. The honest tradeoff: those neighboring teeth get reshaped to carry it, and the bone under the gap isn't preserved the way an implant preserves it. You'll get the real comparison, not a default.

Crown & bridge questions
How long do crowns last?
Commonly many years — often a decade or more — depending on care, bite forces, and whether you grind. Checkups catch problems early.
Crown or filling — who decides?
The tooth does, honestly assessed: how much healthy structure remains. We'll show you on the scan and explain the reasoning.
Bridge or implant?
Expect us to lay out both paths with real numbers before you choose — including the tradeoffs of each.
Will it match my other teeth?
Shade and shape matching is core prosthodontic craft. If it's a front tooth, extra care goes into it — that's the hardest matching in dentistry and we treat it that way.
Save the tooth. Skip the guesswork.
Timing depends on the lab schedule for your case — you'll get the real timeline upfront, not a slogan.
