What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration designed to restore the shape, strength, and function of a severely damaged or decayed tooth. Crafted from high-quality materials, dental crowns cap the affected tooth, preventing further deterioration while ensuring a natural look and feel.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Our team can replace up to three missing teeth in a row, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics.
Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a versatile and durable solution for various dental concerns. Our team carefully evaluates your needs and recommends crowns when they provide the most effective, long-term results.

The Dental Crown & Bridge Process
Our restorative dental process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral health to determine the best treatment approach. We focus on preserving not only the affected tooth but also the overall health of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
- Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Raymer conducts a detailed oral examination using state-of-the-art technology.
- Digital Impressions: We utilize an iTero® intraoral scanner to capture precise digital images of your teeth for a perfect fit.
- Custom Fabrication: Your crown or bridge is crafted from high-quality materials to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Placement & Adjustment: The restoration is securely placed and adjusted to ensure comfort, function, and aesthetics.
If your case requires additional expertise, we collaborate with trusted local endodontists for specialized treatments.
Implant-Supported Dental Crowns & Bridges
For patients seeking an even more durable and permanent solution, we offer implant-supported crowns and bridges. These restorations use titanium implants as a stable foundation, mimicking natural tooth roots for superior functionality and longevity.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Restorations:
- No need to reshape healthy teeth for bridge support
- Prevents bone loss and gum tissue deterioration
- Unmatched strength, stability, and durability
- Eliminates the risk of shifting or slipping out of place
