Ceramic Crowns & Bridges in Golden, CO

What Are Ceramic Dental Crowns & Bridges?

A ceramic dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for teeth that are cracked, decayed, or weakened due to large fillings or root canals.

A dental bridge is a restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more ceramic tooth crowns anchored to adjacent teeth or implants, effectively filling gaps and restoring function.

How Do Ceramic Crowns Differ from Traditional Crowns?

• Aesthetic Benefits – Ceramic closely mimics natural tooth enamel for a seamless appearance.
• Biocompatibility – Unlike metal crowns, ceramic is free from allergens and sensitivities.
• Durability – Resistant to stains and everyday wear, ensuring long-lasting results.

When Do You Need a Crown or Bridge?

A ceramic crown may be recommended if you have:

• A cracked, chipped, or severely decayed tooth
• A weakened tooth following a root canal
• A misshapen or discolored tooth requiring cosmetic enhancement
• A large filling that needs additional support

A ceramic bridge is ideal for:

• Replacing one or more missing teeth
• Restoring bite function and preventing teeth from shifting
• Serving as an alternative to dental implants
