A tooth crown is one of the most commonly used dental restorations that offer several benefits.
At Morris Plains Center for Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental crowns and bridges to restore damaged and missing teeth.
Dr. Bagley uses the latest aesthetic, high-strength materials like zirconia and E-max that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike older metal-porcelain crowns, these modern materials won’t create dark lines at your gumline and are far more resistant to chipping, ensuring your restoration looks beautiful and functions flawlessly for years to come.
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that completely covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dr. Bagley may recommend a crown for the following reasons:
Getting a crown with Dr. Bagley is a straightforward process:
Missing teeth aren’t just an aesthetic problem; they can impact your speech and chewing ability and even allow surrounding teeth to shift out of position. A dental bridge is a custom tooth replacement that fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A traditional bridge consists of two crowns (one on each tooth adjacent to the gap) with a replacement tooth or teeth in between. These adjacent teeth, called abutment teeth, provide support for the bridge.
Dr. Bagley’s patient-centered approach means he’ll take the time to explain all your treatment options and help you make informed decisions about your dental care. His attention to detail ensures your crown or bridge will fit comfortably and look natural.
Our modern office is equipped with the latest technology to provide efficient, precise treatment in a comfortable environment.
A missing tooth leaves a gap that can make chewing harder and allow neighboring teeth to shift out of place. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a natural-looking restoration anchored to the teeth on either side, so it stays fixed in place.
At Morris Plains Center for Dentistry, Dr. Joshua Bagley provides dental bridges for patients throughout Morris Plains, Parsippany, Denville, Randolph, and Morristown. As part of our restorative dentistry care, we help you compare a bridge with other tooth replacement options so you can choose what is best for you.
