When a tooth is cracked, heavily decayed, or missing, crowns and bridges are two of the most trusted ways to rebuild a healthy, functional smile. At Lake Magdalene Dental on N Florida Ave in Lake Magdalene, Dr. Mateen Sheikh takes a careful, unhurried approach to restorative care, helping patients from the Lake Magdalene area and surrounding communities protect their natural teeth and fill the gaps left by tooth loss. As an independent, family-owned practice with a 5.0-star Google rating from more than 210 patient reviews, we focus on comfortable visits and clear explanations at every step.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended after a root canal, to protect a tooth with a large filling, or to cover a tooth that is cracked or worn. A bridge, on the other hand, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or crowns on either side of the gap, “bridging” the space so your bite stays balanced.
Replacing missing teeth matters for more than looks. According to the ADA’s MouthHealthy resource, missing teeth can affect how you chew and speak, and can allow neighboring teeth to shift over time. Keeping the surrounding gums and teeth healthy is a key part of long-lasting restorations, and good daily care plus regular checkups makes a real difference, as outlined by the CDC’s oral health overview.
Crowns and bridges are typically made from durable, natural-looking materials and are designed to blend with your surrounding teeth. With good habits, they can serve you for many years. Dr. Sheikh will discuss which option best fits your situation during your consultation.
