A dental crown is recommended when a tooth is weakened by decay, fracture, large fillings, or after root canal treatment. Crowns restore strength, shape, and function while protecting the remaining tooth structure. They are also used to improve appearance when a tooth is severely discolored or misshapen, providing long-term durability and support.

Dental Crowns and Bridges in Tigard, OR
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a weakened, cracked, or heavily restored tooth, rebuilding its shape, strength, and appearance. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring teeth or dental implants, restoring balance and bite alignment. These restorations improve chewing, speech, and overall oral stability.
At Hayden Dental Care, we provide high-quality dental crown and bridge restorations tailored to your needs. Our office features advanced technology, including in-office milling for same-day crowns, allowing many patients to complete their dental crown procedure in a single visit. We use modern materials and precise digital design to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your smile, restoring long-term function, comfort, and confidence.

FAQ

When is a dental crown recommended for a tooth?
-
How do dental bridges replace missing teeth?
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. The supporting teeth are fitted with crowns that hold the bridge securely in place. This restoration fills gaps, restores chewing ability, maintains proper bite alignment, and helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.
-
What materials are commonly used for crowns and bridges?
Crowns and bridges are commonly made from porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia, or other durable ceramic materials. Porcelain crowns are especially popular for their natural appearance and ability to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Material selection depends on the tooth’s location, bite forces, aesthetic goals, and long-term functional needs.
