While our goal is always to help you avoid dental concerns, most of us will need a tooth restored at some point. Dental crowns and bridges are ideal when the repair is beyond what a filling or bonding can provide.
I work with the top dental labs to ensure you receive premium restorations and that their craftsmanship meets my high-quality standards. So, whether I’m making you a crown or a bridge, you can rest assured you’ll receive a restoration you will love and be proud of.
Dental bridges in Wellesley, MA, typically last between 10 and 15 years with proper care, sometimes longer. How long they last depends on the materials used, where the dental bridge is located in your mouth, and how well you maintain it.
Common signs that a dental bridge needs attention include sensitivity around the supporting teeth, a loose or shifting feel, visible cracks, or discomfort when chewing. If you notice any of these, contact our office promptly.
If you have other questions about bridges or would like to book an evaluation, please call at (781) 237-6511 Wellesley Hill Dental in Wellesley, MA.
A crown is designed to cover and completely restore a compromised tooth with a customized porcelain replica that complements your smile. Porcelain crowns provide aesthetics and durability, and I typically recommend them in these situations:
A bridge uses two dental crowns to anchor one or more missing consecutive teeth. A ceramic porcelain bridge fills the gaps left by missing teeth, so there’s no movement or shifting. It also restores the chewing function and aesthetics lost because of missing teeth.

Whether you get a crown or bridge, the process is similar and requires two appointments at our Wellesley Hills dental office.
During the first visit, I will prepare your teeth for the new restoration, take impressions for our dental lab, and create a temporary crown or bridge for you to wear while the lab makes your final restoration.
The dental lab typically takes two to three weeks to handcraft your restorations. Once they’re ready, I’ll permanently place them and adjust them to your bite to ensure comfortable chewing function.
