Dental Crowns & Bridges: Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Smile


Damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can compromise more than just your appearance; they also affect your ability to eat comfortably and speak clearly. If you have a broken tooth or a gap in your smile, you need a solution that is as strong as it is beautiful.

At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in high-quality Dental Crowns and Bridges.

These custom-crafted restorations are the cornerstone of restorative dentistry. Whether you need to cover and protect a weakened tooth (a Crown) or bridge the gap left by a missing tooth (a Bridge), we use advanced materials to create results that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

EXPERTISE

Why Choose Gardens for Your Restorative Care?


Restorative dentistry requires a balance of engineering and art. Here is why patients in Palm Beach Gardens trust Dr. Hans Almanzar to rebuild their smiles:

  • Metal-Free Aesthetics: We prioritize modern, high-strength materials like zirconia and e.max porcelain. This means no dark metal lines near your gums, just translucent, natural-looking teeth that mimic real enamel.

  • Precision Fit: We use state-of-the-art digital scanners instead of messy, goopy impressions. This ensures your crown or bridge fits perfectly down to the micron, preventing future decay.

  • Masterful Design: Dr. Hans Almanzar is an expert in occlusion (your bite). He ensures that your new restoration not only looks great but fits perfectly into your bite, preventing jaw pain and ensuring longevity.

PROCEDURE

The Restoration Process


We strive to make your treatment efficient and comfortable, typically completing your restoration in just two visits.

  1. Preparation: We gently reshape the damaged tooth (or anchor teeth for a bridge) to create space for the restoration. We remove any decay or old fillings to ensure a healthy foundation.

  2. Digital Impression: We take a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your teeth. This digital blueprint is sent to our master ceramist to craft your custom restoration.

  3. Temporary Protection: You will leave your first visit with a custom temporary crown or bridge, so your smile looks normal while you wait.

  4. Final Bonding: About two weeks later, you return for the final placement. Dr. Almanzar bonds your permanent crown or bridge in place, polishing it to a seamless finish.

TESTIMONIAL

Patient Success Story: Fixing the "Black Line"


Actual Patient Scenario

The Challenge: "Karen," a 45-year-old realtor, had an old porcelain-fused-to-metal crown on her front tooth from childhood. Over time, her gums receded slightly, revealing a distracting dark metal line at the gumline. She was self-conscious about it in photos and client meetings.

The Solution: Dr. Almanzar replaced the old crown with a modern, all-ceramic zirconia crown. He used a digital shade-matching tool to ensure the new crown matched the subtle color variations of her natural teeth perfectly.

The Result: The dark line was gone instantly. The new crown looked so natural that Karen couldn't tell which tooth was the restoration. She told us, "I feel like I got an upgrade. It’s brighter, cleaner, and looks completely real."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A Crown (or cap) covers a single damaged tooth to protect it. A Bridge is used to replace a missing tooth; it consists of a replacement tooth attached to two crowns that sit on the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

Do I need a root canal to get a crown?

Not necessarily. While root canal-treated teeth almost always need crowns to protect them, a living tooth with a large fracture or deep decay often needs a crown without needing a root canal first.

How long do they last?

With proper care, modern crowns and bridges can last 10 to 15 years or longer. The most common cause of failure is a cavity developing under the crown, so good brushing and flossing are essential.

Is the procedure painful?

No. We numb the tooth and the surrounding area completely with local anesthesia before we begin. You will feel vibration, but no pain. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients.

Can I eat normally?

Yes! Zirconia and porcelain are incredibly strong. You can eat apples, steak, and all your favorite foods. We recommend avoiding using your teeth as tools (like opening packages) to prevent chipping the porcelain.
