Crowns & Bridgework

Replace large amounts of lost tooth structure and / or missing teeth

Crowns & Bridgework

Tooth loss can impact many aspects of daily life. Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth and help restore comfort, appearance, and functionality.

Restore the Strength, Function, and Beauty of Your Smile

Damaged, weakened, or missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more difficult while affecting your confidence. Dental crowns and bridges provide long-lasting, natural-looking solutions that restore your smile’s appearance and function. At Rita Marroghi DDS, every restoration is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a comfortable fit and beautiful results. Crowns protect damaged teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth without the need for removable appliances.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment typically involves two appointments.
During the first visit, your dentist will examine your teeth, prepare the treatment area, and take precise digital or traditional impressions. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while your custom restoration is being fabricated.
At your second appointment, your permanent restoration is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, and securely bonded into place. Your dentist will ensure it feels comfortable and looks completely natural before you leave.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, size, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Your dentist may recommend a crown if you have:

  • A cracked, fractured, or worn tooth
  • A tooth with a large filling that no longer provides enough support
  • A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
  • A severely discolored or misshapen tooth
  • A dental implant that needs its final restoration

Modern crowns are crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials that closely mimic the look and feel of natural enamel.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by using neighboring teeth or dental implants as anchors. The replacement tooth (or teeth) fills the gap, restoring your smile and helping maintain proper bite alignment.
A dental bridge can help:

  • Restore your ability to chew comfortably
  • Prevent nearby teeth from shifting
  • Improve speech clarity
  • Maintain your facial structure
  • Create a complete, natural-looking smile

Bridges are permanently secured in place, making them a stable and convenient alternative to removable partial dentures.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge

Maintaining your restoration is simple:
