What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
At Galloway Dental Associates, we offer custom dental crowns and bridges to restore the function and appearance of your smile. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, providing support and blending naturally with your existing teeth. Crowns are ideal for restoring broken, worn, or oddly shaped teeth.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills gaps by anchoring a false tooth between crowns or dental implants, preventing shifting and discomfort while restoring your smile's aesthetics and function.
Schedule a visit with our skilled dental practitioners at Galloway Dental Associates to find out how custom crowns and bridges can improve your smile's function and beauty.
What Steps Are Involved in Getting A Dental Crown or Bridge?
At Galloway Dental Associates, the dental crown and bridge procedures typically take place over two appointments. During your first visit, one of our skilled dentists will numb the affected area and may offer sedation options for added comfort if needed. After preparing the tooth by removing any damaged portion, digital impressions and x-rays will be taken to create your custom crown or bridge. A temporary dental restoration will be placed to provide normal oral function and aesthetics while a professional dental lab is making your permanent one.
About 7 – 14 days later, you'll return for your second appointment. Your temporary crown or bridge will be removed, and your custom restoration will be securely attached to your tooth or dental implant post. If you're receiving a dental bridge, it may be attached to nearby teeth or dental implants, depending on the support system chosen during your consultation. Local anesthesia will be used during the placement. Our team will make any needed adjustments so your new restoration fits comfortably and matches the appearance of your natural teeth.

Galloway Dental Associates Reviews
My family, now configured to be mom (93, 3 weeks til 94 years old), my sis (59 years old), and myself (61 years old) has been relying on this practice for years, always happy with their services, staff, etc. Several months ago, the practice was sold to two fantastic dentists (they could even be twins) - these guys turned out to be fantastic! They're listeners, caring, honest, and even offer many alternatives to help with the costs, if you tell them you can't afford something; they also offer financing options. These people are caring, smart, capable, and understanding supermen and superwomen. They are just great. Can't say cheap though, but, now they take several health insurance plans which has saved me $1,000s in one month (implants, crowns, fillings, cleanings).
