Dental Crowns & Bridges in Garland, TX
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cover placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It protects the tooth and helps restore its strength and shape.
Why might you need a crown?
- Cracked or weakened tooth
- Large cavity
- Tooth that has had a root canal
- Broken or worn-down tooth
How is a crown placed?
The dentist prepares the tooth and a custom crown is made to fit your tooth. Once the crown is cemented in place, it is designed to look and feel like a natural tooth.
What happens without a crown?
A weak or damaged tooth can continue to break or become painful. It may eventually need a root canal or may not be able to be saved.
The good news: A crown can help protect your tooth and keep it strong.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. It uses the teeth next to the empty space to support a replacement tooth.
Why might you need a bridge?
A missing tooth can make it harder to chew and can cause nearby teeth to shift into the empty space. A bridge fills the space and helps restore your smile and bite.
How does a bridge work?
The teeth next to the missing tooth are prepared to support the bridge. A custom-made replacement tooth is attached to crowns that fit over the supporting teeth. Once cemented in place, the bridge stays in your mouth and is designed to look like natural teeth.
What happens if a missing tooth is not replaced?
Nearby teeth can shift, your bite can change, and the bone in the area of the missing tooth can shrink over time.
The good news: A dental bridge can help replace missing teeth, improve chewing, and restore your smile.

Dr. Nguyen And her staff were all very patient and kind. I have been a patient here for 4 or 5 years and service is always timely and professional. I was experiencing severe pain during a filling and Dr.Nguyen and her team member both were extremely sympathetic to my discomfort and accommodating. They truly went the extra mile for me, and I appreciate them for it. 10/10 would recommend.
