Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its natural shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Crowns are ideal for teeth that have suffered significant decay, cracks, or damage from trauma or after a root canal treatment. Not only do crowns provide essential structural support, but they also help protect the remaining tooth and restore its full function, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dr. Murphy offers dental crowns and bridges as long-lasting solutions to restore both the beauty and strength of your smile. He uses the latest digital technology, including the I-Tero digital scanner, to ensure the most precise and comfortable restorations. The I-Tero scanner allows Dr. Murphy to capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional, uncomfortable impressions. This means the crowns and bridges he creates fit better, feel more natural, and have a longer lifespan.

Typically, the process for crowns and bridges takes two visits. During the first appointment, Dr. Murphy prepares the tooth or teeth by gently removing any damaged or decayed material, then takes a digital scan of the area. This scan is used to create a custom restoration that fits your mouth perfectly. You’ll leave with a temporary crown or bridge to protect the treated area while your permanent restoration is crafted. When you return for your second appointment, Dr. Murphy will bond the permanent crown or bridge into place, ensuring a seamless, comfortable fit.
Whether you're looking to restore a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth with a bridge, Dr. Murphy’s advanced technology and expertise guarantee a precise, natural-looking result. With crowns and bridges, you can enjoy a beautiful, fully functional smile that’s built to last for years to come. Experience the difference of a high-quality, digitally crafted restoration—designed just for you.
