Crowns & Bridges in Edmonton, AB

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged tooth above the gumline, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth has a large filling, a fracture, has had root canal therapy, or is wearing unevenly under the bite. At Cy Becker Dental we use all-ceramic and high-strength zirconia materials that match the translucency of natural enamel.

A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. The bridge consists of replacement teeth (pontics) anchored to crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Once cemented, a bridge is not removable by the patient and functions like a row of natural teeth.

The traditional crown or bridge process is completed over two visits. At the first appointment we shape the tooth, take digital impressions, choose a shade, and place a temporary. The lab fabricates your final restoration, which we cement at the second visit after verifying fit, contacts, and bite. Most patients are comfortable in the temporary and report only mild sensitivity for a few days after preparation.

Implant-supported crowns and bridges are an excellent option when neighbouring teeth are healthy and you want to avoid modifying them. An implant fuses to the jawbone and supports a single crown or anchors a multi-tooth bridge — the most stable and longest-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth.

With routine hygiene, regular checkups, and a night guard if you grind your teeth, ceramic crowns and bridges typically last 10–15 years or more. We follow each restoration over time and schedule polishing and bite checks at your hygiene visits.
