Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are common dental restorations used to repair, protect, or replace teeth. At Leap Test Dental Studio in Springfield, this service is offered alongside our other general dental care, including cleanings and exams, fillings, and teeth whitening, so damaged or missing teeth can be addressed as part of an overall care plan.

What Crowns & Bridges Are

Crown — a custom cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance after damage or decay.
Bridge — a fixed restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored to the teeth on either side.

When Patients Typically Consider This Option

Cracked or worn teeth — a crown can add strength and reduce the risk of further damage.
Large fillings — when a tooth has lost too much structure for a filling alone to support, a crown is often recommended.
Missing teeth — a bridge can help restore chewing function and prevent nearby teeth from shifting.

What to Expect

Getting a crown or bridge usually involves preparing the affected tooth or teeth, taking an impression, and fitting the finished restoration. Your appointment at Leap Test Dental Studio will be shaped around your specific needs, with time to discuss the process and answer any questions along the way.
