Dental Crowns & Bridges in Deerwood, MN
Crowns and bridges are time-tested restorations that repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. At Northland Smiles in Deerwood, MN, we create custom crowns and bridges that blend naturally with your smile.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that covers a damaged, weakened, or treated tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance — often used after a large filling, a root canal, or to protect a cracked tooth.
Dental Bridges
A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth or implants on either side, restoring your bite and keeping your other teeth from shifting.
Custom, Natural-Looking Results
Each restoration is crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. Contact Northland Smiles in Deerwood, MN to learn whether a crown or bridge is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown is a cap that covers and protects a single damaged or weakened tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring replacement teeth to the natural teeth or implants on either side.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns and bridges often last 10 to 15 years or more before needing replacement.
How much do crowns and bridges cost, and does insurance help?
Cost depends on the material and number of teeth, and many dental plans cover a portion since they restore function. Contact us for an estimate and help with your benefits.
How do I care for a crown or bridge?
Brush and floss as you would natural teeth (with special care under a bridge), and keep up with regular dental visits to help your restoration last.
