Our quality crowns and bridges look natural and blend seamlessly with your smile.

Crowns and Bridges

Living with damaged or missing teeth affects more than just your smile—it impacts your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident interacting with others. If you're dealing with cracked teeth, broken teeth, or tooth loss in the Tri-Cities area, Clearwater Dental offers lasting solutions with custom dental crowns and bridges.

The Effect of Damaged and Missing Teeth

Damaged or missing teeth create a cascade of oral health issues affecting your overall wellness. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, shifting of remaining teeth, and changes in your bite that may cause jaw pain and headaches. Cracked or broken teeth leave you vulnerable to decay and infection, which research shows can impact conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Expert Restoration with Quality Materials

At Clearwater Dental, our experienced dentists craft custom crowns and bridges using premium materials and trusted dental laboratories. We combine modern technology with precise attention to detail to create restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Benefits of Restoring Your Smile with Crowns and Bridges

We take pride in designing natural-looking restorations, such as crowns and bridges, that are durable, functional, and seamlessly restore your smile. Learn more about the benefits of a confident, healthy smile.

Enhanced Confidence

A complete, healthy smile allows you to laugh, speak, and eat without worry or self-consciousness. Our natural-looking restorations give you back the confidence that comes with a beautiful, fully functioning smile.

Improved Oral Health

Crowns protect vulnerable teeth from further damage, while bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting and maintain proper bite alignment. Both restorations help preserve your jawbone and support overall oral health.

Natural Appearance

With advanced materials and expert craftsmanship, we create restorations that blend seamlessly with natural teeth. We custom-craft each crown or bridge to match tooth color, shape, and size for natural-looking results.

OUR TEAM

Dental Crowns Protect and Preserve Your Smile

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that encases a damaged or broken tooth. Our dentists may recommend a crown to:

Protect a cracked or weakened tooth
Support a tooth with a large filling
Restore a severely worn or broken tooth
Anchor a dental bridge
Restore a dental implant
Improve a tooth’s appearance
Protect a tooth after a root canal

Dental Bridges Replace Missing Teeth

A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or two missing teeth. It uses an artificial tooth anchored to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants.

This solution is ideal for those who want a fixed tooth replacement option, may not be candidates for dental implants, or prefer a more immediate solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the process for getting a dental crown?

Our experienced dentists at Clearwater Dental make getting a dental crown comfortable and straightforward. The process typically requires two appointments spaced about two weeks apart.

Steps for Getting a Dental Crown

Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation — Your restoration begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your needs. We'll evaluate your oral health, take digital images, and explain all your treatment options.
Treatment Planning — Once we determine the best solution, we create a detailed treatment plan. We use digital technology to ensure precise measurements and an optimal fit.
Tooth Preparation — We carefully prepare your teeth while keeping you comfortable. Our digital impression system eliminates the need for messy traditional molds.
Temporary Restoration — While our trusted custom dental lab prepares your permanent restoration, we'll place a temporary crown to protect your teeth.
Final Crown— When your custom restoration arrives, we'll ensure it fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth before permanently cementing it in place.

Dental crowns last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. The lifespan of your restoration depends on factors like oral hygiene, bite forces, and habits. During regular checkups, we'll monitor your restoration to ensure it continues to serve you well.
