Protect a weakened tooth
The remaining healthy tooth and its long-term outlook.
Custom crowns and bridges bring damaged or missing teeth back into your smile—with attention to the fit, bite, and details that make the result feel like you.
A crown restores the visible portion of a weakened tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth using neighboring teeth or implants for support. At Icónica, your restoration starts with understanding the foundation and the way your teeth work together.
The remaining healthy tooth and its long-term outlook.
Support, cleanability, and your bite.
Bone support, healing, and the overall treatment sequence.
Your examination and goals guide which approach is appropriate.
A custom restoration covers a prepared tooth to restore its shape and support its function. It may be considered for a fracture, extensive decay, or a tooth that needs protection after root canal treatment.
A fixed bridge replaces missing teeth. The design depends on the size of the gap and the condition of the supporting teeth or implants.
An implant-supported crown is an alternative for a missing tooth when anatomy and health permit. We compare the surgical and restorative steps with other options.
Shade, shape, contact points, and bite all matter. Digital impressions help record your teeth, and a provisional restoration may protect the prepared tooth while the final crown or bridge is made. The final fitting checks comfort, appearance, and how the restoration meets the opposing teeth.
Your questions, answered ↘
Images illustrate general care concepts and are not presented as patient results.
Your care begins with a conversation and a clear assessment. We connect the treatment recommendation to your health, comfort, and long-term plan.
Examine the tooth, gums, supporting structures, and restorative alternatives.
Capture impressions or a digital scan, prepare the tooth when indicated, and provide a provisional restoration.
Review the shape and shade with the laboratory and check the fit and bite at delivery.
Set a home-care and review plan for the restored tooth and surrounding tissues.
Brush twice daily and clean between the teeth. A bridge needs cleaning beneath the replacement tooth as well. Keep review appointments and contact us if the restoration feels loose, your bite changes, or discomfort persists.
Before you begin, we review your health history, medications, treatment alternatives, expected sequence, and costs. Bring your questions so the plan is clear.

A crown may be considered when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. The decision depends on the amount and condition of the remaining tooth, your bite, and other findings.
A crown restores one tooth or sits on an implant. A bridge replaces missing teeth with a connected restoration supported by teeth or implants.
We compare the condition of adjacent teeth, bone support, health, surgery, time, maintenance, and cost. There is no single option that is right for everyone.
Tooth-colored options can include zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics. Material selection considers the tooth’s location, appearance, space, and bite forces.
Treatment often involves a preparation or scanning visit and a delivery visit. Additional appointments may be needed for supporting treatment or adjustments. Your schedule is explained in advance.
A provisional restoration is often used while the final restoration is being made. Follow instructions for eating and cleaning, and call if it loosens.
Local anesthesia is used when needed. Tell us if you feel discomfort so your care can be adjusted. Some sensitivity can occur afterward.
We plan the shade and shape to complement the surrounding teeth and your smile. Appearance is reviewed before the final restoration is secured.
Brush the restoration and clean beneath the replacement tooth using the tools recommended for your design, such as a floss threader or an interdental aid.
Longevity varies with the underlying tooth, bite, oral hygiene, material, and regular care. Crowns and bridges may need repair or replacement over time.
Your estimate depends on the findings, treatment design, complexity, and any supporting care. We review the planned fees and inclusions before you proceed.
Benefits vary by plan, exclusions, limits, and the reason for treatment. Our team can help review the estimated benefits and patient portion. An estimate does not guarantee insurer payment.
