Please don't hesitate to call us if you don't see the answer to your question listed here.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
While many Doylestown patients take good care of their teeth and make regular visits to their dentist, smile issues can still occur. Dental crowns are tooth caps that your dentist uses to help protect and stabilize a damaged tooth. There are many different reasons why our patients may want a dental crown, including:
- Preserve a damaged tooth
- Protecting against enamel wear and tear
- After a root canal
- Support a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Part of dental implants
- Used as anchors in dental bridges
- Improves badly stained teeth
- Changes the size and shape of a tooth
- Protect a cavity that is too big for a filling
Dental Crowns in Doylestown, PA
With proper care and maintenance, your dental crowns can last 15 years, which is an excellent long-term investment in your oral health. The dental crown process is simple, starting with your Doylestown, PA dentist, making an impression of your smile. The impression will be used to fabricate your dental crown, which will be shaded to blend in with your smile.
Dental Bridges Restore Your Smile
For patients who have one or more missing teeth, Dr. Link-Bindo can help restore their smile with a dental bridge. Your dentist places dental crowns on the neighboring teeth as an anchor, and an artificial tooth is bridged in between. This dental prosthetic is very common and can help restore function and beauty to your smile.

Here’s how your prosthodontist in Doylestown uses dental crowns:
#1 Following Root Canal Treatment or Tooth Trauma
If a tooth is deeply infected, Dr. Lindo may recommend a root canal treatment to ease your pain and prevent the need for extraction. The final step in the root canal process is typically dental crown placement. The crown protects your treated tooth against future damage.
A dental crown may also be necessary if you have deep decay in the tooth or if it has suffered a trauma.
#2 As Part of Cosmetic Dentistry in Doylestown
A dental crown can conceal many tooth flaws, including:
- Discoloration
- Chips
- Wear
- Gaps
You can opt to crown a single tooth or several based on your preference.
#3 As Part of Tooth Replacement
A dental crown is the final step in dental implant treatment. It is the crown that acts as your new tooth following implant to jaw integration.
For a dental bridge, dental crowns anchor replacement teeth to healthy adjoining teeth.
