Is a Crown or Bridge the Right Solution for You?

Crowns and Bridges

Living with missing or damaged teeth can significantly impact your quality of life and overall health. Gaps in your smile affect how you eat and speak, lead to a loss of self-esteem, and hinder social interactions.

Missing teeth can also cause remaining teeth to shift, affect your bite, and lead to further oral health issues, while damaged teeth are vulnerable to decay and infection. At Skyway Dental Clinic, located in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis, we understand these challenges. That's why we offer CEREC same-day custom crowns and bridges, using the latest technology to restore your smile swiftly and efficiently.

The Role and Benefits of Dental Crowns

A dental crown acts as a cap for your damaged or decayed tooth to restore its form, function, and strength. Here are several reasons our dentists at Skyway Dental might recommend a crown:

Protect a weakened tooth from further damage
Support a broken or severely worn tooth
Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
Stabilize dental bridgework
Conceal misshapen or severely discolored teeth
Restore a dental implant for a flawless finish

Dr. Maggie Thompson or Dr. Krishna Satira will perform a comprehensive examination and consultation will determine if a crown is the best solution for your oral health needs.

The Functionality and Advantage of Dental Bridges

A dental bridge fills the space where one or more teeth are missing. It is an excellent option if you are not a candidate for dental implants due to health reasons or don't want to wait months for a final restoration. Bridges restore a complete smile and distribute bite and chewing forces by replacing missing teeth.

At Skyway Dental, the CEREC system allows us to craft your custom crowns and bridges on-site, streamlining the process. CEREC technology ensures your restoration fits well, is long-lasting, and boasts a natural appearance that matches your teeth.

Best dentist I’ve seen in 57 years.

Best dentist I’ve seen in 57 years. Maggie was so gentle and nice, it was more like visiting with a friend than seeing a dentist. And, did I mention she is quick; I arrived 10 minutes early and I was out the door with a filling within a few minutes of my scheduled appointment time. Maya, the hygienist, was great too; she was super thorough and 100% painless. The rest of the staff was great too; very professional but personable as well. I highly recommend this dental practice!!

Lifespan and Care of Your Restorations

On average, a well-cared-for crown or bridge can last 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer. Maximize the lifespan of your restorations with these three steps:

Practice good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
Schedule routine check-ups and cleanings at Skyway Dental.
Avoid hard foods and objects that can damage your restorations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a CEREC crown?

At Skyway Dental, your trusted Downtown Minneapolis dentist, you can receive a high-quality CEREC crown in just one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns, which typically require multiple visits over several weeks, CEREC technology streamlines the process dramatically.

The CEREC Crown Process

Here’s what you can expect when getting a CEREC crown at our Minneapolis, MN, dental office:

Consultation and Preparation — Our dentists check the tooth to see if a CEREC crown is the best option. We prepare the tooth for the crown by removing decay and then filling and shaping the tooth.

Digital Impressions — Instead of uncomfortable, messy paste, we use a digital scanner to take precise impressions of your teeth.

On-Site Crown Creation — Using CEREC technology, we design your crown and mill it in our office. This process uses computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) technology to create a perfectly fitting crown.

Final Placement — We check the crown for fit and comfort, adjust it if necessary, and cement it to your tooth. The final step is polishing to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The entire process, from start to finish, can be completed in approximately two hours. No multiple visits, no messy impressions, and no dealing with a temporary for weeks while you wait for your crown—you leave our office the same day with a fully restored smile.
