Dental Crowns and Bridges in Renton, WA

What’s the Difference Between Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges?

Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often used after a root canal, to repair a cracked or decayed tooth, or to improve aesthetics. They fit over your existing tooth and are bonded securely in place.

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges help restore your bite, prevent teeth from shifting, and bring back your full smile.

Which Option Is Right for Me?

Choosing between a crown and a bridge depends on your unique dental needs. If you have a tooth that’s still present but damaged—due to decay, fracture, or after a root canal—a dental crown is likely the best solution to protect and restore that tooth.

If you’re missing one or more teeth entirely, a dental bridge may be recommended to fill the space and restore function. Bridges are especially effective when the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support crowns.

At Cedar Dental Group, we take the time to evaluate your oral health, listen to your goals, and walk you through your options with clarity and compassion. Our goal is to help you make a confident, informed decision that supports long-term dental wellness.

Our Dental Crown & Bridge Process

Comprehensive Consultation

We begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to assess your tooth structure and determine whether a crown or bridge is right for you.

Tooth Preparation

For crowns, we gently shape the affected tooth to allow room for your restoration. For bridges, we also prepare the supporting teeth (abutments) that will anchor the bridge.

Digital Impressions

We take precise digital impressions to design a crown or bridge that fits perfectly and blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.

Temporary Restoration

You’ll receive a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth and maintain function while your permanent restoration is crafted.

Final Placement

Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we ensure proper fit and appearance before securely bonding it in place. The result is a strong, comfortable, and beautiful restoration.

What Our Patients Say

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns & Bridges

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10 to 15 years or more. Their longevity depends on the materials used, your oral hygiene habits, and regular dental checkups. At Cedar Dental Group, we use high-quality materials designed for durability and a natural appearance.
Does getting a crown or bridge hurt?
The procedure is generally comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and offer gentle care throughout. You may feel some mild sensitivity afterward, but it usually fades within a few days. Our team ensures you know what to expect and how to care for your restoration as it heals.
What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers a single damaged tooth to restore its shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using crowns on the neighboring teeth for support. Both are custom-made to look and feel natural in your smile.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
Absolutely. We take precise digital impressions and work with skilled dental labs to create restorations that match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth. Our goal is for your crown or bridge to blend in so well, no one will notice it’s there.
Are crowns and bridges covered by insurance?
Many PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost for crowns and bridges, especially when they’re medically necessary. At Cedar Dental Group, we’ll help you understand your benefits, provide transparent cost estimates, and offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible.
