Our experienced dentists at Lapeer Family Dental in Lapeer MI will help you find the best solution for you!

Dental Crowns (Caps)

A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns are essential when a tooth cannot be repaired with fillings or other treatments. They provide protection and strength to weakened teeth.



Porcelain Crowns are the most popular choice because of their natural look and durability. These crowns are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful smile. With proper care, porcelain crowns can last for many years, although they may eventually need to be replaced.

Reasons to Get a Crown:

  • Broken or fractured teeth
  • Cosmetic improvements
  • Decayed or damaged teeth
  • Fractured or large fillings
  • Teeth that have had a root canal

What to Expect During a Crown Procedure

The crown process typically involves two visits.

  • First Appointment: Your dentist will take impressions (molds) of your teeth to create a custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
  • Second Appointment: The temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is carefully placed, ensuring the fit and bite are perfect.

At Lapeer Family Dental, we’ll provide you with care instructions to maintain your crown and encourage regular checkups to ensure its longevity.

Fixed Bridges

A dental bridge is a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. It involves anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or crowns to fill the gap.


The most common type of bridge is the traditional bridge, which is typically made of porcelain fused to metal. This type of bridge consists of two crowns over anchoring teeth, with artificial teeth between them to restore your smile.

Reasons to Get a Bridge:

  • Fill gaps left by missing teeth
  • Maintain facial shape
  • Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
  • Improve chewing and speaking ability
  • Upgrade from a removable partial denture

What to Expect During a Bridge Procedure:

Similar to crowns, getting a bridge typically requires two visits. Your dentist will prepare the anchoring teeth by removing some enamel, and then take impressions to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed until your permanent one is ready. Once the permanent bridge is fitted, it will be checked for proper fit and bite.
