Dental Crowns and Bridges in London, ON

A damaged or missing tooth can affect how you chew, speak, and feel about your smile. At We Smile Dentistry in London, ON, we restore strength, function, and appearance with modern dental crowns and bridges using CEREC technology for precision and convenience.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-crafted restoration that fully covers a weakened or damaged tooth. It is designed to reinforce structure while blending naturally with your surrounding teeth.

Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth has:

• Significant decay
• A fracture or crack
• A large filling
• Undergone root canal treatment
• Excessive wear

Same-Day Crowns with CEREC

At We Smile Dentistry, many crowns can be completed in just one visit using CEREC technology. Instead of traditional impressions and temporary crowns, we use digital scanning to capture a precise 3D image of your tooth. Your custom ceramic crown is then designed, milled, and placed in the same appointment in many cases.

This approach offers:

• No messy impressions
• No temporary crown in most situations
• Fewer appointments
• Accurate, natural-looking results
• The final restoration is bonded securely in place, restoring both strength and aesthetics.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Bridges help:

• Restore chewing ability
• Maintain proper spacing
• Support bite alignment
• Improve speech
• Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting

When missing teeth are left untreated, surrounding teeth may move into the empty space, which can affect alignment and long-term oral health. A custom bridge helps maintain balance and stability within your smile.

Digital scanning technology is often used to ensure precise fit and comfort.

What to Expect

Comprehensive Assessment
Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health. Digital X-rays or scans may be taken to assess tooth structure, gum health, and spacing.

Tooth Preparation

• For a crown, the affected tooth is gently shaped to accommodate the restoration. For a bridge, supporting teeth may be prepared to securely hold the prosthetic tooth in place.

Digital Design and Fabrication

• Using CEREC technology, many crowns are designed and fabricated in-office. Bridges may require additional fabrication steps depending on your individual treatment plan.

Final Placement

• Your restoration is carefully adjusted to ensure proper fit and bite alignment before being securely bonded into place.
