Considering dental crowns and bridges in Lakewood, CO? Begin with a dental evaluation rather than trying to choose a restoration on your own.

A crown covers and supports an existing tooth. It may be considered for a tooth that is weakened, broken, worn, or affected by a large filling. A bridge fills a space left by one or more missing teeth and uses neighboring teeth for support.

At your visit, the dentist can examine the area and explain which approach may fit your needs. Before you come in, note any discomfort and bring questions about comfort, appearance, care, and treatment timing.

At Cofamilydentistry, your unique needs guide our recommendations. General education is helpful, but an individual evaluation is needed to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
