Crowns and Bridges in Raleigh, North Carolina
Do damaged or missing teeth make eating difficult? Do you feel embarrassed about your smile? Dental crowns and bridges may be the perfect option to help restore your smile and your oral health.
For top-quality crowns and bridges in Raleigh, reach out to our team at Falls Pointe Dentistry. We can fit you with custom-made crowns and bridges to restore your smile.
Dental crowns, also known as “caps,” are dental restorations that cover damaged teeth or can be used to replace missing teeth. Dental crowns are custom-made in the same shape and color as your natural teeth. We will then place that crown over your original tooth or a dental implant to provide lasting protection and restoration.
A dental bridge is a great option if you have missing teeth. A bridge is created by two porcelain crowns which act as anchors on surrounding teeth and hold prosthetic teeth in the middle to fill in (or “bridge”) the gap created by lost teeth.
Dental crowns are used to treat a variety of dental issues, including the following:
- Root canal
- Broken filling
- Dental decay
- Weakened tooth crown
- Large cavities

What Are The Benefits Of Dental Bridges And Crowns?
Getting a dental crown and/or dental bridge is one of the best restorative options for those with missing or damaged teeth. Here are a few of the benefits they provide:
- Improved Appearance – Missing teeth can lead to a sunken or weathered appearance in the face, but dental crowns can keep this from happening! Dental crowns can also improve the appearance of discolored or decayed teeth.
- Prevent Further Damage – A crown protects your natural tooth from developing more decay or dental issues.
- Natural Aesthetics – Dental bridges and crowns don’t have to look awkward among your other teeth. They will match the natural shade and shape of your original teeth.
- More Protection – A dental crown allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is great for the oral structure.
- Long-lasting Results – Porcelain crowns and bridges are durable! They can last for 10-30 years with excellent care.
