A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or root-canal-treated tooth — restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
At Eastdale Family Dental, crowns and bridges are crafted to match your natural tooth colour and shaped to fit your bite perfectly — giving you a long-lasting, natural-looking restoration you can smile about.

Crown & Bridge Process
Consultation & Planning
We assess the tooth or gap and discuss the best crown or bridge option for your situation.
Tooth Preparation
For crowns, the tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. For bridges, the anchor teeth are prepared similarly.
Impressions
Precise impressions or digital scans are taken and sent to the dental lab to fabricate your restoration.
Temporary Crown/Bridge
A temporary restoration protects your tooth while your permanent one is being made (usually 2 weeks).
Fitting & Adjustment
The permanent crown or bridge is tried in, adjusted for fit and bite, and perfected.
Cementing
Once you're satisfied, the restoration is permanently cemented in place — ready for a lifetime of use.
