Restore Your Smile with Quality Dental Crowns & Bridges

We are the premier dentists in Munster, IN; at SMILE Design, you can trust that you will receive the highest quality prosthetics and service in the area. Dental crowns and bridges are fixed dental prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. Dentists cement dental crowns onto existing teeth or implants, unlike removable dentures. Call 219-836-5656 to schedule your dental crown or bridge procedure today.

If you have more than one tooth missing in an area, we can place a Dental bridge. Dental bridges consist of a prosthetic (called the pontic) spanning the gap and anchored onto the abutment teeth. The abutments are usually dental crowns fixed onto the teeth neighboring the gap. As with crowns, bridges come in different materials, such as porcelain or ceramic. Our team of dentists can help you choose the right dental bridge material for you, depending on: the location of the missing teeth, its function, aesthetic considerations, and cost. 

To place a dental bridge onto the abutment teeth, they must first be prepared to receive dental crowns following the procedure above. We will take an impression of the prepared teeth and gaps. The completed bridge will be cemented onto the prepared teeth when it returns from the dental lab. We will work with you to determine if any adjustments are necessary to achieve the right fit. With proper care, crowns and bridges can last a lifetime.
