Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges Options in Topeka

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling but is still healthy enough to be preserved.

You may benefit from a crown if you have:

• A large cavity that compromises tooth structure
• A tooth that is cracked, worn, or weakened
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
• Significant staining or an irregular shape
• A tooth that supports a dental bridge or implant

Romine Family Dental offers crowns made from several high-quality materials depending on your needs and goals:

Porcelain or Ceramic

Tooth colored and ideal for front teeth, where aesthetics are important.

Porcelain Fused to Metal

Durable and natural-looking, suitable for both front and back teeth.

Metal Alloys (Including Gold)

Extremely strong and long-lasting, often recommended for molars that endure heavy chewing.

Each crown is carefully crafted to match your bite and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth, known as a pontic, supported by crowns placed on the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants.

Dental bridges help:

• Restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably
• Prevent nearby teeth from shifting into empty spaces
• Support proper bite alignment and facial structure
• Improve the appearance and confidence of your smile

Depending on your needs, we 

offer traditional bridges, implant supported bridges, or resin bonded options that require minimal preparation.

Crowns and bridges are usually completed over two visits:

Visit One: Preparation

• A thorough exam and digital impressions
• Shaping of the tooth or teeth to accommodate the crown or bridge
• Placement of a temporary restoration for comfort and protection

Visit Two: Final Placement

• Precise fitting of your permanent crown or bridge
• Adjustments for proper bite and alignment
• A strong, stable, and beautifully restored smile

To keep your restorations in excellent condition:

• Brush and floss daily, paying close attention to the gumline
• Use floss threaders or a water flosser to clean under bridges.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens.
• Visit us for cleanings and checkups every 4 to 6 months.
• Contact us if you notice any movement, discomfort, or changes

At every visit, we evaluate your crowns and bridges to help ensure long-term success and comfort.
