Dental Crowns & Bridges Treatment in Marysville, WA

Have you ever felt self-conscious about your smile due to damaged or missing teeth? At Blu Dental & Wellness, we design high-quality dental crowns and bridges that enhance your smile and restore comfort and confidence. 

The Transformative Power of Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a customized “cap” for your tooth, mimicking its shape, color, and size. Because it surrounds and protects your tooth, a crown restores the function and appearance of a tooth compromised by damage or decay. 

At Blu Dental & Wellness, we believe you deserve the best. Dr. Timmerman uses only highly durable zirconia and e-Max to ensure your crown looks natural and stands up beautifully to daily wear and tear. 

Getting a high-quality crown at our dental office in Marysville, WA, involves two appointments about two weeks apart.

Initial Consultation and Planning

Your dental situation is unique, and we ensure your treatment plan reflects that. Dr. Timmerman will examine the tooth to determine if a crown is the right solution for your needs. 

He will show you intraoral images and x-rays so you understand why he recommends a crown and how it will benefit you. We want you to feel completely confident and informed before making a treatment decision.

Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown

First, we prepare the tooth by reshaping it so the restoration fits perfectly. Next, we take a comfortable digital impression of your teeth that a trusted custom dental lab uses to fabricate your final crown. Before you leave our office that day, we will place a temporary on the tooth for protection.

Creating Your High-Quality Dental Crown

We partner with custom dental labs that meet our high standards and use the highest quality materials. e-Max is known for its strength and translucency, making it the perfect choice for teeth that show when you smile. Zirconia is exceptionally durable and resistant to cracking, so we use it for teeth like molars that withstand significant chewing forces. 

Placing Your Crown

It takes two weeks for our dental lab to complete your final crown. Once it’s ready, we refine it for a natural fit and feel. We will also adjust it so you can bite down comfortably, then cement it securely to your tooth. 

Why Your Dentist Might Recommend a Crown

Dental crowns are versatile tooth restorations, so there are numerous reasons why we may recommend a crown:

• Restore a severely worn tooth
• Strengthen a cracked or broken tooth
• Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
• Improve a discolored or misshapen tooth
• Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
• Secure a dental bridge 
• Restore function to a dental implant
• As part of a comprehensive full smile makeover

A dental bridge is an excellent solution if you have one or two missing teeth in a row. It involves placing crowns on the two teeth adjacent to the gap. The crowns support an artificial tooth called a pontic that fills the space seamlessly and completes your smile.

Getting a dental bridge is similar to the process for a crown described above. With appropriate care, a bridge can last 5–15 years.
