Lethbridge Dental Crowns & Bridges
Crowns
Dental terms can be quite literal in Lethbridge and beyond. Where a filling fills in a cleaned out tooth, a dental crown sits on top of the trimmed tooth. Dental crowns are also referred to as dental caps or tooth caps, and form a new protective surface for the teeth on which they are bonded.
Crowns are a popular dental health treatment because they:
- Restore broken, worn, or decayed teeth
- Strengthen teeth
- Improve the appearance of a tooth (for cosmetic reasons)
- Replace missing teeth; as used in conjunction with dental implant surgery

Bridges
Does that space in your teeth make you self-conscious of your smile? At Destination Dentistry in Lethbridge, Alberta, we can improve your appearance, confidence, and dental health with a dental bridge or dental implant. Filling the space of a missing tooth helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay, so think of it as prevention from further procedures.
While there are several types, a dental bridge is basically a false tooth that is anchored to adjacent teeth. Bridges are very natural in appearance and can last very long with good dental hygiene.
Bridge Alternatives
While dental bridges have been an effective treatment for missing teeth for years, dental implant surgery is becoming an increasingly popular method of filling in a space in the gums. The best case is to discuss your individual situation with your dentist.
There are several factors to consider in determining whether a dental bridge, a dental implant, or another procedure may help you complete your smile. Dr. Johnson looks forward to meeting with you and performing a dental health assessment in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
