Best Dental Crowns and Bridges in Coquitlam, BC

Crowns and bridges are proven restorative solutions that protect and strengthen damaged teeth. A dental crown acts as a protective cap placed over an existing tooth or dental implant, while bridges replace missing teeth by connecting to adjacent healthy teeth.

These restorations are commonly recommended when a large cavity threatens a tooth’s structural integrity, or when teeth have been cracked, broken, or are missing entirely. At Oxford Family Dental in Port Coquitlam, Dr. Chahal specializes in creating custom dental crowns and bridges that restore both function and aesthetics.

The treatment process begins with taking detailed impressions of your mouth, which are used to craft your personalized restoration. Typically, you’ll return for a second appointment to have your new crown or bridge permanently bonded in place.

Each restoration is carefully designed to match the natural color, shape, and size of your existing teeth. We believe quality dental care should be accessible, which is why we offer affordable crowns and bridges with flexible payment options. With proper care, these restorations typically last 10-15 years, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns and Bridges

What exactly are dental crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are custom-made restorations designed to repair damaged or replace missing teeth. Crowns cover individual teeth, while bridges span gaps where teeth are missing, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly.

How long do dental crowns & bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns and bridges typically last 10-15 years or longer. Avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools will help maximize their lifespan.

What materials are used for dental crowns & bridges?

Modern dental crowns and bridges can be crafted from porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or composite materials. We'll recommend the best option based on the location in your mouth, your budget, and aesthetic preferences.

Will getting a crown be painful?

The crown procedure is generally not painful. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring your comfort throughout the treatment. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, but it typically subsides quickly.

How do I care for my dental crown?

Care for your crown just like your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly. Avoid biting down on hard objects, and let us know if your crown feels loose or uncomfortable.
