Crowns & Bridges
Restore damaged or missing teeth with custom-crafted crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Dental crowns and bridges are reliable, time-tested restorations used to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. At The Tooth Stop, Dr. P Meghana uses high-quality materials and precise techniques to craft restorations that not only restore function but also match the natural appearance of your teeth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a weakened, cracked, or severely decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are also used to protect teeth after root canal treatment, to cover dental implants, and to anchor dental bridges. We offer crowns in a variety of materials including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, allowing us to recommend the best option based on the tooth's location and your aesthetic preferences.
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position, and maintain the natural shape of your face.
At The Tooth Stop, we use impressions and send our cases to trusted dental laboratories that uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship. Each crown and bridge is carefully checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics before final cementation, ensuring a restoration that feels natural and lasts for years.
What to Expect
- 1Comprehensive evaluation and digital imaging to assess the tooth or gap and determine the best restoration approach.

- 3Taking precise digital or physical impressions that are sent to a dental laboratory for custom fabrication.
- 4Placement of a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth while the permanent restoration is being crafted.
- 5Fitting, adjustment, and permanent cementation of the final crown or bridge, followed by bite and aesthetic evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoiding habits such as chewing ice, biting hard objects, or grinding your teeth can help extend the lifespan of your restoration.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
Absolutely. At The Tooth Stop, we carefully match the color, shape, and translucency of your restoration to your surrounding natural teeth. Modern ceramic and zirconia materials provide excellent aesthetics that are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Is it normal to feel sensitivity after getting a crown?
Some mild sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures is normal for a few days to weeks after crown placement. This typically resolves on its own as the tooth adjusts. If sensitivity persists or worsens, contact The Tooth Stop for an evaluation.
