Smile Center Dentistry offers Dental Crowns And Bridges in zirconia, e.max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, and we'll walk through which material actually fits your case and budget.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Dental Crowns And Bridges is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
Digital impressions also tend to produce a more accurate final fit than traditional molds.
Zirconia, e.max, and porcelain-fused-to-metal each have different strength, appearance, and cost tradeoffs — we'll walk through them clearly.
We'll assess whether your tooth has enough natural structure remaining or needs reinforcement first.
The full cost, including any buildup or temporary crown, is quoted before treatment starts.
Here's the range of Dental Crowns And Bridges our Borden team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Zirconia is highly durable and well-suited for back teeth that handle heavy chewing forces. This tends to be our go-to recommendation for molars and premolars.
E.max offers excellent translucency and esthetics, making it a strong choice for visible front teeth. Most patients choose e.max specifically for how natural it looks next to surrounding teeth.
This remains a solid option for back teeth where a slight metal margin isn't a visible concern. Cost tends to be lower than zirconia or e.max for comparable durability.
We assess whether the anchor teeth are strong enough to support a bridge before recommending this option over an implant. We'll compare bridge and implant options honestly if you're weighing both.
This step is assessed case by case, not applied automatically to every crown. We'll show you the X-ray reasoning if a buildup is recommended.
A cracked crown, loose bridge, or worn restoration is assessed to determine whether repair or full replacement makes more sense. Repairs are typically faster and less costly when they're a genuinely viable option.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Describe the damaged tooth or gap and we'll schedule an exam and X-ray, often within the same week.
We scan the tooth digitally and walk through material options — zirconia, e.max, or PFM — based on your case.
You'll see the full cost before starting, and a temporary crown or bridge protects the tooth while the permanent piece is made.
We confirm fit and appearance before considering the case complete.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Dental Crowns And Bridges.
“They walked me through zirconia versus e.max for my case and I ended up choosing based on which tooth was actually visible when I smile.”
“Digital impression meant no more gagging on that awful putty tray from my last dentist. Fit was perfect on the first try too.”
“My old bridge was failing and they gave me an honest comparison between repairing it and just replacing it outright.”
“Post-and-core buildup after my root canal made sense once they showed me the X-ray. Crown has held up great since.”
“PFM crown on a back molar was the practical, affordable choice and they didn't push the pricier options on me.”
These are the questions Borden patients ask most before booking Dental Crowns And Bridges.
Zirconia is very durable and good for back teeth; e.max offers superior esthetics for front teeth; PFM is a proven, lower-cost option combining metal and porcelain.
Regular checkups help us catch wear or damage early, extending the restoration's lifespan.
Only if the tooth has lost significant structure, often after a root canal — we'll assess and show you the reasoning.
It depends on the health of the neighboring teeth and your long-term goals — we'll compare both options honestly.
Sometimes — we'll assess whether a repair will realistically hold up before recommending it over full replacement.
Most cases take two visits, with a temporary restoration protecting the tooth in between.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Dental Crowns And Bridges before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Dental Crowns And Bridges team serves Borden and the surrounding area, with digital impression technology available in-office for a precise, comfortable fit. If you're comparing a bridge to an implant, the assessment visit is the right place to ask both questions.
