Dental Crowns and Bridges in Langley

Restoring Damaged and Missing Teeth

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cover that fits over an original tooth that has become decayed, damaged, cracked, or weakened. Patients looking for dental crowns in Langley often choose crowns to protect and strengthen teeth while restoring their natural appearance.


Crowns can be made from porcelain, gold, acrylic resin, or a mix of materials. Porcelain often provides the most natural look, while Zirconia crowns in Langley are known for strength, durability, and aesthetics. Zirconia may also be layered with porcelain to create natural looking dental crowns. The treatment plan for a crown involves:


  • Numbing your tooth to remove any decay
  • Sculpturing your tooth to provide an ideal fit for a dental crown
  • Making an impression of your teeth in order to create custom dental crowns (usually takes 1-2-weeks)
  • Making a temporary crown out of acrylic resin and fitting it onto your affected tooth
  • Applying the custom-made crown by removing the temporary crown
  • After ensuring the crown has the proper look and fit, our dentist cements it into place


This process generally consists of 2-3 visits over a 3-4-week period. Once the procedure is completed, proper dental hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing, is required to maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth, gums, and crowns. This helps in the prevention of gum disease. Given proper care, your crowns can last a lifetime. Patients with damaged or weakened teeth may benefit from damaged tooth repair, broken tooth restoration, or cracked tooth crown treatment to restore strength and function.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a permanent appliance that replaces a missing tooth or missing teeth and can be an alternative to partial dentures. Dental bridges in Langley help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.


Dental bridges are made from several pieces fused together to fit the open space where teeth are missing. They may be made from gold, alloys, or porcelain. When replacing a front tooth, porcelain is often chosen because it can match your natural tooth colour.


The artificial teeth in a bridge are called pontics. Each pontic is shaped to match the missing tooth and is anchored to neighbouring teeth or dental implants.

Traditional Fixed Bridge

This is the most common type of bridge. It includes a crown on either side of the pontic(s). A traditional dental bridge is commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth.


Resin-Bonded Bridge

This is often used to replace front teeth. Instead of crowns, it uses porcelain or metal frameworks with "wings" that are bonded to the back of your teeth on either side of the gap. A resin bonded bridge may be recommended for certain front tooth restorations.


Implant-Supported Bridge

An implant is surgically embedded into your jawbone, in one procedure. The bridge, which contains the pontics, is placed over them in a later procedure. An implant supported bridge can provide long-term stability and support for multiple missing teeth.


Cantilever Bridge

When only one side of the gap contains a natural tooth, the pontic(s) are anchored by a single crown on that natural tooth.
