What Is A Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that fits over a tooth and is designed to look just like your natural teeth. Dental crowns serve many different functions, such as:
- Preserving a damaged tooth
- Covering a stained or misshapen tooth
- Covering a large filling
In some instances, our dentist may recommend dental crowns in tandem with a dental bridge.
How Do Dental Bridges And Crowns Work Together?
As the name suggest, dental bridges bridge the gap left behind by missing teeth. For example, if you are missing a tooth, our dentist can prepare the teeth on both sides of the gap to hold a replacement tooth in place. With one type of dental bridge, this preparation process involves removing some of the enamel and fitting dental crowns over the teeth.
Another option is to have the teeth removed and replaced with dental implants. This type of dental bridge works well in scenarios where the patient has multiple missing teeth in a row. It’s also a good option when the teeth on both sides of the gap are too decayed to be preserved with a dental crown.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?
A dental crown is a custom cap placed over a single damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge uses crowns on adjacent teeth to support one or more artificial teeth that span a gap left by missing teeth. Dr. Valdes at Galloway Dental Care will recommend the best option based on your specific situation.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and the materials used. Porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic crowns are among the most durable and natural-looking options available at Galloway Dental Care.
Does getting a crown or bridge hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel little to no pain during treatment. Some sensitivity and mild discomfort around the treated area is normal for a few days afterward and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Brush and floss daily as you normally would. For bridges, a floss threader or water flosser is recommended to clean underneath the artificial tooth. Avoid chewing on extremely hard foods or ice directly on the restoration. Regular checkups at Galloway Dental Care will ensure the crown or bridge remains in good condition.
Will my crown or bridge look natural?
Yes — at Galloway Dental Care, crowns and bridges are custom-crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Modern porcelain and ceramic materials closely mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, making restorations virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
