Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are restorations that correct dental problems while protecting and strengthening your teeth.

A dental crown is a custom-made tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged natural tooth. It restores the tooth's function and provides strength and support. Dental bridges in Sioux Falls are also versatile and have several uses.

Crowns and bridges are custom-colored to match your natural teeth perfectly.

Everyone wants a healthy and beautiful smile, and we can help you achieve that goal by using crowns and bridges. Updated techniques and treatments have made the placement of crowns and bridges easier than ever before.

Dental crowns have many applications and are used in the following situations:

• Severely decayed teeth
• Teeth weakened by root canal treatment
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Broken fillings
• Large fillings with little tooth structure left
• Replaces missing teeth in conjunction with a dental implant 

A dental bridge can fill the space a missing tooth leaves when an implant is not an option. The bridge is usually made as a single unit held in place by adjacent teeth. A dental bridge improves your appearance and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and moving into the space left by a missing tooth.

We Offer Same-Day Dental Crowns in Sioux Falls!

In the past, replacing chipped or missing teeth with dental crowns involved at least two visits to the dentist, temporary crowns, and waiting on an outside lab to make the permanent crown. With the new CEREC technology, we can design and make you a perfectly fitting permanent crown in just one office visit.

A same-day CEREC Crown visit starts with Dr. Perets preparing your tooth by removing weakened, decayed, or broken tooth material. After your tooth is ready, Dr. Perets will take a 3D scan of your mouth using a comfortable small wand (no more gooey impressions needed)! Dr. Perets then carefully analyzes your 3D image and digitally designs a crown to fit your mouth perfectly. You can relax and watch TV in the chair while our team mills your crown. Dr. Perets will then place the crown in your mouth, ensure its perfect fit, bond it, and polish it to completion. You'll leave our office with a brand-new smile in just one visit!

Same-day crowns are super convenient, hassle-free, and provide immediate treatment.    

A dental bridge can usually be placed in two or three visits. First, we prepare your natural tooth to receive the restoration, and then impressions are taken of your teeth. The impression accurately represents the position of your natural teeth so that your restoration fits perfectly.

We then send the impressions to a custom dental lab, where skilled technicians use them to create your permanent restoration, which usually takes about two weeks. Before you leave our office, we will fit you with a temporary bridge, which you will wear while the lab fabricates your new bridge.

Once we receive your restoration from the lab, we will schedule an appointment for you to return to our office. At that time, we check the finished restoration for proper fit and make adjustments as necessary. Finally, the restoration is cemented permanently into place.

Before you leave our office, we will give you instructions on caring for your new restoration. The bridge is fully functional, but you should remember that special care is required to prevent damage and replacement. If you practice proper oral hygiene and schedule regular dental cleanings, your new restoration will last for many years.
