Dental Crowns and Bridges in Midland

Rejuvenating your smile with strength and style

If you have a damaged or missing tooth, a crown or bridge can help restore your smile’s function, comfort, and appearance. 

At Helena Street Dental in Midland, we provide high-quality restorations that are carefully designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth — so your smile feels strong, healthy, and complete.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown (often called a “cap”) is a custom-made restoration that covers a damaged, weakened, or misshapen tooth to restore its full strength and appearance. 

Crowns can also be placed over dental implants to replace missing teeth or protect a tooth that’s undergone root canal therapy.

Crowns are one of the most common and versatile restorative treatments we provide at Helena Street Dental — offering both durability and natural-looking results.

When might I need a dental crown?

Your dentist may recommend a crown to:

Protect a weak or cracked tooth from breaking
Restore a tooth that’s been damaged or worn down
Replace a large filling when not enough natural tooth remains
Cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth
Complete a dental implant
Restore a tooth following root canal therapy
Secure a dental bridge in place

Crowns not only strengthen the tooth but also enhance its shape, alignment, and overall appearance.

What materials are crowns made from?

Crowns are made from a range of materials depending on where the tooth is located and the level of strength or aesthetics required. Options include:

Porcelain or ceramic – ideal for front teeth, as they can be colour-matched for a natural look
Metal alloys or gold – extremely durable and ideal for back teeth that handle greater biting pressure
Porcelain-fused-to-metal – combines the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain

Your dentist will discuss the most suitable option for your needs to ensure a strong and natural-looking result.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or implants on either side. This helps restore chewing function, maintain your bite alignment, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position.

Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of materials for strength and a seamless appearance.

What is the process for getting a crown or bridge?

Getting a crown or bridge usually takes two appointments:

First appointment: The tooth (or teeth) is prepared, and detailed impressions are taken to create your custom restoration. A temporary crown or bridge is fitted for protection while your final one is being made.
Second appointment: Your new crown or bridge is checked for fit, comfort, and colour before being securely bonded in place.

The result is a strong, long-lasting restoration that looks and feels natural.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good care, crowns and bridges can last for many years. 

Maintain them by brushing twice a day, flossing daily (especially around the edges), and attending regular dental check-ups. Avoid biting down on very hard foods or using your teeth to open packaging, as this can place unnecessary stress on the restoration.
