Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing ones. They’re permanently cemented onto existing teeth and offer a stable and durable solution. A dental crown is a cap shaped like a tooth that is placed over an existing tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns fully encase the visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. A dental bridge on the other hand fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap—these anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth—and a false tooth or teeth in between, known as pontics. Either implants or natural teeth can be used to anchor the bridge. Both bridges and crowns can be made from metals, porcelain, ceramics, or combinations.
Signs You May Need a Dental Crown
- Damaged or Weakened Teeth: If you have a tooth with extensive decay, cracks, or fractures that a filling cannot repair, a crown may be necessary.
- Post-Root Canal Treatment: Teeth become more fragile after root canal therapy. Placing a crown over the treated tooth protects it from fractures.
- Cosmetic Concerns: Crowns offer a natural-looking solution to enhance the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or severely worn teeth,
- Supporting a Dental Bridge: If adjacent teeth require reinforcement to anchor a bridge, crowns provide the necessary support.
Signs You May Need a Dental Bridge
- Missing Teeth: A bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It replaces them with artificial teeth that look and function like natural ones.
- Shifting Teeth: Missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to drift into the empty space, leading to misalignment and bite problems. A bridge prevents this movement and maintains proper alignment.
- Changes in Facial Structure: A dental bridge helps maintain the structural integrity of the jaw by providing necessary support, preventing further bone resorption, and preserving the overall stability of the facial skeletal framework.

Patient Education
What's the procedure for getting a dental bridge?
Getting a dental bridge involves preparing the adjacent teeth by reshaping them to accommodate crowns, taking impressions for a custom fit, and placing a temporary bridge. After the permanent bridge is crafted, it is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place during a follow-up visit. The entire process typically takes two to three weeks over two or three appointments.
What's the procedure for getting a dental crown?
The dentist prepares the damaged tooth by removing decay and shaping it to fit the crown, then takes an impression to create a custom crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth while a permanent one is made. At the next visit, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented onto the tooth. This process usually takes one to two weeks over two appointments.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
Crowns and bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Their longevity depends on maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and attending regular dental check-ups to monitor their condition.
Does getting a crown or bridge hurt?
The procedures are generally painless because local anesthesia numbs the area being treated. You might experience mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Does insurance cover the cost of crowns and bridges?
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for crowns and bridges, especially if they are medically necessary. Coverage often falls under “major dental services” and may cover around 50% of the cost after you’ve met your deductible, but this varies by plan.
How much do dental crowns and bridges cost?
In Michigan, dental crowns range from $800 to $1,500 per tooth for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and up to $2,500 for all-ceramic crowns. Dental bridges can cost between $2,000 and $5,000 for a traditional three-unit bridge. These costs vary based on materials and do not include additional procedures like root canals or implants if needed.
Can you use financing options for crowns and bridges?
Yes, our dental offices in Auburn Hills, Flint, Lansing, Livonia, and Southfield offer payment plans or work with third-party financing companies like CareCredit. These options can help spread the cost over time, sometimes with low or no interest, depending on the terms.
Can you use FSA or HSA to pay for crowns and bridges?
You can use your FSA or HSA to pay for eligible dental expenses like crowns and bridges. Using pre-tax dollars from these accounts can effectively reduce the overall cost of your treatment.
