Dental Crowns & Bridges in Plymouth MA

A crown is like a helmet placed over a weakened tooth providing you with the strength of a natural tooth. Best part is — we can even make it look like your natural tooth!

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, commonly known as caps, preserve damaged teeth. Crowns may be used to protect a cracked tooth, restore a tooth with excessive decay, or a tooth after a root canal therapy, restore an implant, or replace a pre-existing crown. The purpose of a dental crown is to encase a vulnerable tooth with a custom-made material, restoring the tooth to its natural size, fit and function.

We offer more esthetic metal-free all-ceramic crowns as well as PFM crowns of porcelain with metal substrate and full gold crowns.

Dental Bridges

Crowns can also support dental bridges, one of the restorative options for missing teeth.

When teeth are missing, your overall dental health and jaw function will be compromised. The adjacent teeth and the teeth in the opposing jaw will start to shift, tilt or over grow towards the missing tooth space. It is therefore important to replace the missing tooth or teeth that have been lost. Another option for replacing missing teeth are dental implants.

A dental bridge replaces the missing teeth with artificial teeth called pontics that’s supported on each end by a crown, like a bridge. Once fabricated and fitted, a dental bridge is permanently cemented into place. Like crowns, bridges can be made of either porcelain baked onto metal substrate or metal-free all-ceramic materials.

Crown and Bridges Case Studies - Before and After

Case 1 - All-ceramic Crowns on Central incisors

Crown case study after Crown case study - before

Before: The patient has two cracked and inclined central incisors. Both teeth are highly visible and their appearance affects patient's daily interactions.

After: Following delivery of his new crowns, the patient is smiling brighter and has regained his self-esteem!

Case 2 - Zirconia-based All-ceramic Crown on Lateral Incisor

Crown Case Before

Before: The patient's decayed and ill-restored upper left lateral incisor was in need of replacement.

Crown Case After

After: The new zirconia-based all-ceramic crown is strong and has a natual contour, shade and charactization. The patient gained back a strong tooth, healthy gums, and their confidence.

These cases were a collaboration between Dr. Sheng and Mr. Hiro Tokutomi of Art Box Boston Dental Laboratory.
