Restore your smile in a single day with CEREC same-day restorations in Salisbury, NC.

Crowns and Bridges

A chipped, fractured, or missing tooth can make everyday activities like eating or smiling feel impossible. At Brown & Fortner Dental Group, we restore both function and confidence with custom dental crowns and bridges. Thanks to advanced technology, including CEREC same-day restorations, you don’t always have to wait weeks for your smile to be complete. We offer durable, natural-looking solutions designed to protect, strengthen, and transform your smile in a single visit.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A crown is a customized tooth covering that protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It completely restores a tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are prosthetic enamel. Crowns are ideal for teeth with large fillings, cracks, or root canal treatment, and they can also improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth.

We make dental crowns from high-quality materials, including tooth-colored ceramic that blends seamlessly with your natural smile. With CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place your personalized restoration the same day!

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Dental bridges restore your smile’s appearance, improve chewing and speech, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of place. Like crowns, bridges are crafted from natural-looking materials so they can blend in with your smile.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Crowns, bridges and same-day dental restoration have numerous benefits, from restoring damaged teeth to reviving your oral health and overall smile.

Same-Day Convenience with CEREC

No more waiting weeks or juggling multiple appointments. With CEREC, many crowns are completed in just one visit.

Durable Protection

Dental crowns strengthen teeth that are cracked, worn, or weakened. They can help you chew and smile with confidence.

Restored Function

Our custom-made dental crowns and bridges allow you to bite, chew, and speak comfortably again.

Natural-Looking Results

Made from high-quality ceramic, your restoration blends in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Prevents Shifting

Dental bridges fill gaps from missing teeth and prevent other teeth from drifting out of alignment.

What Can I Expect During the Process?

At Brown & Fortner Dental Group, your comfort and convenience are our priority. Here’s how we complete crowns and bridges:

Consultation and Planning — We evaluate your needs and discuss whether a crown, bridge, or same-day option is best for you.
Tooth Preparation — We reshape the affected tooth (or supporting teeth, for a bridge) for a secure fit.
Digital Scanning — Instead of messy impressions, we use digital imaging to create a precise 3-D model of your tooth.
CEREC Same-Day Option — For many patients, we design and mill a permanent ceramic crown right in our dental office. We even place it the same day!
Traditional Custom Restorations — For more complex cases, we may use a custom lab-made crown or bridge. A temporary crown or bridge protects your smile while the final one is crafted.
Final Placement — Once it's ready, we securely bond your restoration in place for a stunning result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With proper care, a crown or bridge can last 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer. At Brown & Fortner Dental Group, we use high-quality, lifelike materials to ensure your restoration not only looks great but also holds up to everyday use.

What’s the Typical Lifespan?

Crowns and bridges are designed to be durable, long-term solutions, but like your natural teeth, they still need care to stay strong and beautiful. The exact lifespan depends on factors like:

Your oral hygiene habits
How you bite or chew
Whether you grind your teeth

We’ll always assess your bite before placement to make sure your restoration is set up for success.

How Should I Care for My Crown or Bridge?

Great care starts at home. Here’s how to keep your crown or bridge in top shape:

Brush and floss daily, just like you would with natural teeth.
Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under bridges.
Avoid chewing ice or hard objects, which can damage restorations.
Visit us regularly for exams and cleanings. We’ll check the integrity of your restoration each time.

Even though crowns and bridges aren’t natural teeth, they still rely on the health of the surrounding gum and bone. With a little maintenance and regular care, your restoration can keep your smile strong and functional for years to come.
