Crowns and Bridges

At Main Street Dental Studio, we know every smile tells a story, and no two stories are the same. Sometimes, that story gets interrupted by a cracked tooth, decay, or a missing piece, leaving gaps in both function and confidence. That’s where crowns and bridges come in. Think of them as the carefully crafted keystones and beams in the architecture of your smile, restoring strength, balance, and beauty. Here in Broomfield, CO, we treat the whole person, making sure your dental care fits your lifestyle, overall health, and long-term well-being. 

Whether you’re enjoying a sunny walk along The Broomfield Trail or sharing a laugh at a local pub, crowns and bridges help you chew, speak, and smile with confidence, letting your smile shine as brightly as a Colorado morning.

What Are Crowns and Bridges?

• Crowns are like tailored hats for your teeth, custom-made to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore shape, size, and appearance while shielding your natural tooth from further wear. Crowns are ideal for teeth with large fillings, fractures, or after root canal treatment.
• Bridges act as a sturdy bridge over a gap, replacing one or more missing teeth. Anchored to neighboring teeth or implants, they fill the space, restore your bite, and help keep surrounding teeth from drifting out of alignment.

Both crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so your smile looks uniform and healthy, as if it were always meant to be that way.

At Main Street Dental Studio, we make the journey to a restored smile precise, comfortable, and personalized.

Here’s what you can expect: 

• Comprehensive Exam and Consultation — Your dentist in Broomfield, CO, will review your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Using digital imaging and impressions, we plan every detail to ensure a perfect fit.
• Tooth Preparation — For crowns, the damaged tooth is gently shaped to accommodate the new restoration. For bridges, the teeth surrounding the gap are prepared to support the artificial teeth.
• Temporary Restoration — While your permanent crown or bridge is being created, a temporary restoration protects your teeth and keeps your smile functional and attractive.
• Custom Fabrication — Skilled dental technicians craft your crown or bridge to match the color, shape, and alignment of your natural teeth. The result is a seamless, harmonious restoration.
• Placement and Adjustment — Once ready, your dentist carefully positions the restoration, checks the fit and bite, and bonds it securely. Polishing ensures it feels natural and comfortable.

Caring for Your Crowns and Bridges

Keeping your crowns and bridges in top condition is simpler than you might think:

• Brush and floss carefully around the restoration every day. 
• Avoid chewing on tough or hard objects like ice, pen caps, or hard candies. 
• Keep up with regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. 
• Report any discomfort or changes promptly to your dentist. 

Restoring your smile doesn’t have to feel daunting. At Main Street Dental Studio, we’ll guide you through every step with comfort, care, and meticulous attention.
