If you are considering your restorative dentistry options, it is important to understand what crowns and bridges can do for your oral health and how we approach these treatments at Summit Dental Edmonton. In this post, we guide you through the essentials of crowns and bridges, our use of mercury-free materials, what to expect from your appointment, and how we strive to make every visit welcoming and clear. What You Should Know About Crowns and Bridges: Restorative Dentistry Options is our focus.

Restorative Dentistry Options: Crowns and Bridges

We offer restorative dentistry options including crowns and bridges to help restore your function and confidence. Our restorative dental care includes crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants, so you can find the right solution for your needs.

Crowns and bridges are part of the restorative dentistry services we provide to our Edmonton community and surrounding neighbourhoods.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns are a restorative option that require the removal of more tooth structure compared to veneers and composite bonding, as they cover the entire tooth. Because they cover the whole tooth, crowns are considered an irreversible procedure, this means they require permanent alteration of the natural tooth structure.

We make our crowns with mercury-free materials such as composite and ceramics, focusing on safety and aesthetics.

How Dental Bridges Work

Bridges can be used to replace several missing teeth and may be supported by implants or natural teeth, helping to restore both appearance and function. As an alternative to removable partial dentures, they offer a fixed solution for gaps in your smile.

Just like with our crowns, bridges at our practice are made from mercury-free composites and ceramics.

Why Choose Mercury-Free Restorations?

Your health and smile appearance matter to us, which is why we only use mercury-free restorative materials. All our fillings, crowns, and bridges use composite or ceramic materials, so you get lifelike, safe results every time.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

We know restorative care can feel like a big step, especially if it's your first experience with crowns or bridges. We provide a careful, communicative approach and make sure you have time to talk through your questions and options.

A short consultation is the best way to start, here, we map out all your options, discuss costs, and explain the expected timelines before any treatment begins. Most of our appointments are unhurried, so you can feel comfortable discussing concerns or asking about the best solution for your smile.

Our Practice's Approach to Restorative Care

Direct billing is available to most insurance providers, and our fees are below the Alberta Dental Fee Guide. We welcome new patients, provide same-day emergency appointments, and are open 7 days a week to fit your schedule.

You can expect comfortable, clear, patient-friendly care whether you are coming in for crowns, bridges, or any other dental need.
