A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling, after root canal therapy, to protect a cracked tooth from further fracture, or to cover a dental implant. Dr. Charles Kim, DDS offers crowns in several materials including all-porcelain for the most natural appearance, zirconia for maximum strength, and porcelain-fused-to-metal for a balance of aesthetics and durability. Our on-site dental lab at the Denton office allows for precise color matching and faster turnaround.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to crowns placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain face shape, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and distribute bite forces evenly. Traditional bridges are the most common type. Cantilever bridges are used when teeth are available on only one side of the gap. Implant-supported bridges anchor to dental implants instead of natural teeth for greater stability and longevity.
Getting a crown or bridge at our Denton office typically requires two visits. At the first appointment, Dr. Charles Kim, DDS prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel, takes digital impressions, and places a temporary crown or bridge. The impressions are sent to our on-site lab where your permanent restoration is custom-fabricated. At the second visit, the temporary is removed and the permanent crown or bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented. We ensure your bite is comfortable and the color matches your natural teeth perfectly.
