Discover what dental crowns & bridge in Vancouver, BC can do for you

Just because you’re missing teeth now doesn’t mean you have to live the rest of your life with an incomplete smile. At Gentle Dental Group, our team has restored many smiles with dental crowns & bridges in Vancouver. Thanks to advancements in technology and materials, dental bridges and crowns are designed to be discreet, natural-looking, and stunning.

What are dental crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are fixed restorations used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. A crown is created to cover and protect a weakened, cracked, worn, or heavily restored tooth. Crowns can also be placed over dental implants. A dental bridge is custom-made to fill a gap left by one or more missing teeth. It uses replacement teeth supported by crowns on nearby teeth or, in some cases, dental implants. The goal is to restore tooth shape and chewing function while helping maintain a balanced bite.

Dr. Gill and Dr. Channi have placed many dental bridges in Vancouver at our practice. Dental Bridges consist of a false tooth (or a pontic, in the dental world) and are secured by teeth that are adjacent to a gap. There are various kinds of bridges, including cantilever, traditional, Maryland, and implant-supported.

Dental bridges can not only help give you back a full smile, but they also redistribute the workload of your teeth more evenly. When we see you, we can talk about the different options and guide you toward the most suitable option – for your unique situation and needs. And, just like crowns, if you take good care of your bridge with regular brushing and flossing, you’ll get many years out of it.

Why dental crowns and bridges matter

Crowns and tooth bridges can address different problems that may affect everyday oral health. Leaving a damaged tooth or a missing-tooth space untreated may affect chewing or allow nearby teeth to shift. Restoring the area can help maintain function, but crowns and bridges still require consistent maintenance, and regular dental visits.

Get the facts on dental crowns

If you’ve ever had a root canal, then you definitely have a crown on that tooth. Crowns can be fabricated out of porcelain, stainless steel, gold, and ceramic. They’re designed to be tough and can last for a decade or more with proper care.

Who may need crowns or bridges?

Crowns may be considered for teeth weakened by decay, large fillings, cracks, wear, or certain root canal treatments. Bridges may be an option when one or more teeth are missing, and healthy support is available from nearby teeth or implants. The right restoration depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, and bite. An examination helps our dentist determine which treatment may suit your oral health needs.

A damaged tooth or an empty space in your smile can affect how you bite, chew, and feel about your oral health. If you are considering dental crowns near Chinatown, Vancouver, and dental bridges, Gentle Dental Group can help you understand the differences between these restorations. Our team examines your teeth, gums, and bite before discussing suitable options. You will have an opportunity to learn what the treatment involves and why it may be recommended, so you can make an informed decision about your dental care.

Oral health and overall health

Oral health is an important part of general health. The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and regular dental care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recognizes that good oral health contributes to overall health and well-being.

Crowns and bridges need consistent care because plaque can collect around their edges and supporting teeth. Keeping these areas clean can help protect the natural teeth and gums that support the restoration.
