What Are Dental Crowns and When Do You Need One?

Dental crowns at Roots Dental Vancouver are used to cover and protect teeth that are damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised. Unlike fillings, which treat only a portion of the tooth, crowns cover the entire tooth—adding strength, stability, and a natural look. Each crown is custom-designed to ensure a comfortable fit and a seamless blend with your natural teeth.

Dr. Sean McCombs may recommend a crown if you have:

– Cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth

– Severe decay beyond what a filling can restore

– Significant wear from grinding (bruxism)

– Cosmetic concerns like discoloration or misshaped teeth

– A tooth that’s been treated with a root canal

– A missing tooth (as part of a dental bridge)

– A full smile makeover or reconstruction

The Dental Crown Procedure at Roots Dental Vancouver

Our team prioritizes precision, comfort, and long-lasting results. Here’s what to expect during your dental crown placement:

1. Numbing the Area – We ensure a pain-free procedure by numbing the tooth and surrounding gum tissue.
2. Tooth Preparation – Dr. McCombs will remove any decay or damage and shape the tooth for an ideal crown fit.
3. Impressions – We take digital or physical impressions so your custom crown fits perfectly. You’ll receive a temporary crown while the permanent one is crafted.
4. Final Placement – In about two weeks, you’ll return to have your final crown placed, adjusted, and securely bonded.

With proper care, your crown can last many years—preserving your tooth and enhancing your smile

What does the Dental Bridge Procedure do?

When a tooth is too damaged or decayed for a crown, extraction may be the best option—but that doesn’t mean you have to live with a gap in your smile.

At Roots Dental in Vancouver, WA, we offer dental bridges as a nonsurgical, cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth. A dental bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth, restoring your bite and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.

Unlike dental implants, bridges don’t require surgery or specific bone density, making them a great option for many patients. After a tooth extraction, most people are excellent candidates for a bridge. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Sean McCombs to find out if a dental bridge is right for you.

Dental Bridge Procedure at Roots Dental Vancouver, WA: Restore Your Smile With Confidence

At Roots Dental in Vancouver, WA, we make the dental bridge process smooth, precise, and personalized to your needs. If you’re missing a tooth and looking for a reliable, non-surgical replacement option, a custom dental bridge may be the perfect solution.

Here’s what to expect when restoring your smile with a dental bridge:

1. Initial Exam & Treatment Planning

Dr. Sean McCombs will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a dental bridge is the best treatment option for your situation.

2. Tooth Preparation

The two teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth) are carefully reshaped to support dental crowns that will anchor your bridge securely.

3. Impressions

We take detailed digital or physical impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a trusted dental lab to fabricate a bridge that fits your smile perfectly.

4. Temporary Bridge Placement

While your permanent bridge is being made, we place a temporary one to maintain function and appearance.

5. Final Bridge Placement

After about two weeks, you’ll return to our Vancouver office to have your permanent bridge placed. Dr. McCombs will ensure a comfortable fit, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently bond the bridge in place.
