Missing, damaged, or weakened teeth can significantly affect more than just your appearance — they can also interfere with chewing, speaking, and maintaining long-term oral health.

At Southbridge Dentistry & Implants, we proudly offer high-quality dental crowns and bridges in Southbridge, MA, to help restore your smile’s strength, beauty, and functionality. Whether you’re dealing with tooth decay, fractures, or gaps from missing teeth, our custom restorations are designed to give you back the confidence and comfort you deserve.

Let us help you protect your existing teeth and replace what’s missing — all with beautifully crafted, long-lasting solutions.

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. They fully encase the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, offering long-term protection and support.

Dental bridges are restorations designed to “bridge” the space left by one or more missing teeth. They typically consist of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth or by dental implants.

Together, crowns and bridges can:

• Reinforce and protect weak or broken teeth
• Replace missing teeth and restore proper bite alignment
• Improve your smile’s appearance and functionality
• Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place
• Help maintain facial structure and jawbone integrity

Our Crown & Bridge Options at Southbridge Dentistry & Implants

We use the latest materials and techniques to ensure your restorations are both durable and natural-looking.

Types of Dental Crowns:

• Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic and ideal for visible front teeth.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns – Strong and versatile for both front and back teeth.
• Full Metal Crowns – Extremely durable and best suited for molars under heavy pressure.

Types of Dental Bridges:

• Traditional Bridges – Anchored by crowns on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap.
• Implant-Supported Bridges – Attached to dental implants for enhanced stability and bone preservation.
• Cantilever Bridges – Used when teeth are only present on one side of the gap.

Our team will assess your dental health, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate solution tailored to your specific needs.
