At Cloninger Dentistry, we understand how damaged or missing teeth can impact more than just your oral health — they affect your confidence, comfort, and ability to enjoy life. Our custom dental crowns and bridges offer durable, natural-looking solutions to restore strength, function, and appearance to your smile.
Using advanced technology, premium materials, and personalized treatment planning, we create restorations that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace one or more missing teeth, our experienced team is here to help you smile with confidence again.
Severely decayed
Cracked or fractured
Weakened after root canal treatment
Misshapen or discolored
Crowns restore the tooth’s:
Strength and durability for chewing and speaking
Shape and appearance for a natural, seamless smile
Protection from further damage or infection
At Cloninger Dentistry, we use high-quality materials, including tooth-colored ceramics, to ensure your crown blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
Artificial teeth (pontics) that fill the gap left by missing teeth
Support crowns that attach to neighboring healthy teeth for stability
Proper chewing and speaking ability
Your natural bite alignment
The appearance of a full, healthy smile
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough exam, including digital X-rays and iTero® digital scanning, to assess:
The health of your teeth and gums
The condition of damaged teeth (for crowns)
The health of adjacent teeth (for bridges)
Step 2: Precision Preparation & Digital Impressions
For both crowns and bridges, we gently prepare the supporting teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. This ensures a secure, natural fit for your custom restoration. Using our iTero® digital scanner, we capture a precise 3D image of your teeth — no messy impressions required. This digital scan allows our dental lab to craft your custom crown or bridge with unmatched accuracy.
Step 3: Temporary Crown or Bridge
While your permanent restoration is being created, we place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth and maintain your smile’s appearance.
Step 4: Final Placement & Perfect Fit
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return to our office for final placement. We ensure:
A perfect fit and comfortable bite
Seamless blending with your natural teeth
Long-term durability with strong bonding techniques
Restore Full Chewing Function
Eat the foods you love without discomfort.
Protect & Strengthen Natural Teeth
Crowns prevent further cracking, decay, or infection.
Prevent Shifting Teeth
Bridges fill gaps to prevent surrounding teeth from moving out of place.
Enhance Your Smile’s Appearance
Custom crowns and bridges look completely natural.
Long-Lasting Durability
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10+ years.
Brushing and flossing daily to keep supporting teeth healthy
Using a floss threader or water flosser to clean around and under your bridge
Avoiding chewing on hard objects (like ice or pens)
