Dental Crowns and Bridges

Restoring Smiles and Improving Your Oral Health

In cases where a tooth is too damaged for fillings, Dental Center of Hammond offers high-quality dental crowns to safeguard teeth severely affected by decay, cracks, or discoloration. These crowns are meticulously placed over a tooth to reinstate its structure and functionality while enhancing your smile.


Typically crafted from porcelain for a natural appearance, crowns are versatile and employed in conjunction with root canal treatments, dental implants, and dental bridges. To address any dental concerns and schedule a consultation, please contact our office today.


The absence of teeth can lead to the misalignment of remaining teeth, affecting basic functions such as eating and speaking. Dental bridges, which rely on adjacent teeth for support, consist of a dental crown to bridge the gap. These bridges are resilient and customized to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are dental caps designed to restore the shape and size of teeth following damage, providing protection for the original tooth and preventing further harm. They are an effective solution for restoring damaged teeth and a standard service offered at the Dental Center of Hammond.


In situations where teeth are unable to self-repair or regrow damaged enamel, such as with large cavities or the need for a root canal, the placement of a crown is necessary to protect the affected tooth.


As a versatile treatment, dental crowns can safeguard weak teeth from infections, repair damaged teeth, cover dental implants, secure dental bridges, and maintain a natural appearance. When placed in a visible area, we strive to match the crown to your existing teeth; however, if positioned at the back of the mouth, a metal crown may be more appropriate. Rest assured, we will thoroughly discuss the costs and options with you before commencing treatment to ensure full transparency regarding the procedure.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is an optimal solution for replacing a single missing tooth when a dental implant is not viable due to bone loss or limited space. Once installed, a bridge can not only restore your smile but also improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably. These fixed restorations offer additional advantages such as reducing stress on the bite, preserving your facial shape, and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment.


Our dental bridges are available in a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of these. Our experienced professional will carefully secure the bridge structure to neighboring teeth to provide support, resulting in a beautiful and long-lasting smile.
