Do I Need a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” acts like a helmet for your tooth. It covers the entire visible portion above the gumline, providing a full-coverage restoration. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to handle the rigors of daily wear.
Advanced Onsite Digital Scanning
Our clinic utilizes advanced digital scanning technology to create precise virtual models of your teeth. This method eliminates the need for uncomfortable, messy impressions, enhancing both your comfort and the accuracy of your restorations. Moreover, these digital impressions can be directly used with our onsite milling equipment, allowing us to offer same-day restorations.
You may need a dental crown (tooth cap) for several reasons, including:
- Strengthening a tooth weakened by decay.
- Repairing a tooth with a failed filling or that is broken.
- Improving the appearance of discolored teeth.
- Fortifying a tooth after a root canal treatment.
- Serving as an anchor for dental bridges.
- Capping a dental implant to complete the restoration.

Ceramic Dental Bridge (for Missing Tooth)
Dental bridges serve to bridge the gap caused by a missing tooth, seamlessly restoring your smile. A fixed dental bridge resembles a series of 3-4 crowns aligned consecutively, with only the outermost ones fitted over existing teeth or dental implants. The pontic crowns between them elegantly span the gap, completing your dental arch.
Typically utilized for the replacement of one or more missing teeth, bridges rely on healthy natural teeth for support. However, in cases involving 3-4 missing teeth, a ceramic bridge can be anchored by a pair of dental implants for enhanced stability and functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants offer a lasting solution for missing teeth by replacing the root, but to complete the restoration, a fixed option like a crown or dental bridge is necessary to fill the space above the gum tissues.
While Luxe Dental Clinic provides a 10-15 year warranty on our ceramic crowns, maintaining their longevity requires daily brushing and flossing around them, along with the additional precaution of wearing a nightguard to prevent porcelain fractures due to teeth grinding while sleeping.
Typically, it's not advisable to attempt reattaching a removed bridge, as doing so may compromise the overall restoration's integrity. Collaborating with a highly skilled cosmetic dentist can help avoid the necessity for resetting the fixed restoration altogether.
After cementing a new dental bridge, the bonding agent typically cures within a few hours; therefore, we recommend refraining from chewing on that side of your mouth for the remainder of the day.
