Dental crowns & bridges at Icónica
Built for function.
Designed for 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.

A dental crown
Protect a weakened tooth
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 closer look
Small details.
A balanced result.
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.

The Icónica approach
Thoughtful steps.
Personal attention.
Your care begins with a conversation and a clear assessment. We connect the treatment recommendation to your health, comfort, and long-term plan.
Assess the foundation
Examine the tooth, gums, supporting structures, and restorative alternatives.
Record & prepare
Capture impressions or a digital scan, prepare the tooth when indicated, and provide a provisional restoration.
Refine the restoration
Review the shape and shade with the laboratory and check the fit and bite at delivery.
Protect your investment
Set a home-care and review plan for the restored tooth and surrounding tissues.
Ongoing care
Care every day.
Keep the foundation healthy.
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.

Planning & your options
When is a crown recommended?
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.
How is a bridge different from a crown?
A crown restores one tooth or sits on an implant. A bridge replaces missing teeth with a connected restoration supported by teeth or implants.
Should I choose a bridge or an implant?
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.
What materials do you use?
Tooth-colored options can include zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics. Material selection considers the tooth’s location, appearance, space, and bite forces.
How many visits will I need?
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.
Treatment & ongoing care
Will I need a temporary crown?
A provisional restoration is often used while the final restoration is being made. Follow instructions for eating and cleaning, and call if it loosens.
What will I feel during preparation?
Local anesthesia is used when needed. Tell us if you feel discomfort so your care can be adjusted. Some sensitivity can occur afterward.
Will the color match my teeth?
We plan the shade and shape to complement the surrounding teeth and your smile. Appearance is reviewed before the final restoration is secured.
How do I clean a bridge?
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.
How long will my restoration last?
Longevity varies with the underlying tooth, bite, oral hygiene, material, and regular care. Crowns and bridges may need repair or replacement over time.
Costs & payment
How much will my treatment cost?
Your estimate depends on the findings, treatment design, complexity, and any supporting care. We review the planned fees and inclusions before you proceed.
Will my insurance cover care?
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.
Do you offer financing?
Icónica offers access to Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. Approval, rates, offers, and repayment terms vary by provider and applicant.
