Crowns & Bridges
Restoring Teeth with Strength and Beauty
When teeth are damaged, weakened, or missing, it affects more than your smile. It can limit how you chew, change the way you speak, and even impact the alignment of your bite. At Revive Dental in Longmont, CO, we provide custom dental crowns and bridges that repair and replace teeth with durable, natural-looking results. With modern materials and advanced techniques, these restorations not only strengthen your teeth but also enhance your appearance, giving you a smile that looks and feels complete again.

Why Crowns and Bridges Matter
A tooth weakened by decay, trauma, or a large filling is at risk of breaking. Once that happens, the tooth may be beyond saving. A crown acts like a protective shield, covering the entire tooth and restoring its strength. Crowns are also used to finish treatments like root canals or to secure dental bridges.
Bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Without replacement, missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems, bone loss, and further complications. A bridge restores your bite, keeps your teeth in proper alignment, and improves your ability to eat and smile naturally.
Together, crowns and bridges are essential tools in restorative dentistry, preserving oral health while maintaining a natural, attractive smile.
Step-by-Step: The Crown Process
- Examination and Planning – We assess the tooth and determine whether a crown is the best solution.
- Tooth Preparation – A small amount of enamel is reshaped to allow space for the crown.
- Impressions – Digital scans or molds are taken to ensure a precise fit.
- Temporary Crown – A temporary restoration protects your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
- Final Placement – The custom crown is bonded securely in place and adjusted for comfort and bite.
Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic, depending on your needs, and are matched to the color of your natural teeth.
