Custom restorations to strengthen, replace, and renew your smile

Dental Crowns & Bridges in Roseville, MN

Restore Strength and Function with Natural-Looking Results

When a tooth is severely worn, cracked, or missing altogether, everyday things like chewing, smiling, or speaking can feel like a hassle. Crowns and bridges offer a long-lasting way to restore your teeth—bringing back strength, comfort, and confidence.

At Bates Dental Care, we use high-quality materials and modern techniques to craft restorations that fit comfortably and blend beautifully with your natural smile. Whether you need a single crown or a bridge to replace missing teeth, we’ll walk you through it all with clarity and care.

Thorough Exam and Digital Imaging

We'll begin with a full evaluation and imaging to determine the condition of your teeth and the best path for restoration.

Treatment Planning and Tooth Prep

If a crown or bridge is needed, we’ll gently reshape the tooth (or anchor teeth) and prepare it for your custom restoration.

Impressions and Temporary Protection

We'll take precise impressions and place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your tooth while your final restoration is made.

Custom Fabrication

Your crown or bridge is crafted by a lab to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and color for a seamless look.

Final Placement and Bite Check

Once your restoration is ready, we'll bond it in place and make sure your bite feels right. You’ll leave with renewed function and a confident smile.

Long-Term Health Focus

Our goal is to restore your tooth in a way that supports your overall oral health, not just short-term fixes.

When Are Crowns or Bridges Needed?

Crowns are often used to protect a weakened tooth after a root canal, large filling, or significant damage. Bridges are ideal when you’re missing one or more teeth and want a fixed, stable solution without implants.

Both options improve not only how your smile looks, but also how it functions—preventing teeth from shifting and supporting your bite. We’ll help you decide if a crown or bridge fits your situation and goals.

Caring for Your Restoration

Caring for crowns and bridges is a lot like caring for natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and keep up with cleanings. We’ll show you how to clean around the restoration and recommend tools if needed.

Avoid chewing ice or hard objects, and if you grind your teeth, a nightguard can protect your restoration from wear over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about crowns and bridges.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good care, most last 10–15 years or longer. Regular checkups help us catch issues early.

Will the crown or bridge look natural?

Yes. We match the shape, color, and size to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients report little to no discomfort. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable.

Are crowns and bridges covered by insurance?

Often, yes. Many dental plans cover part of the cost. We’ll walk you through your coverage and options.

What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers a single damaged tooth. A bridge uses crowns on nearby teeth to support a replacement tooth (or teeth) in between.

Can I eat normally with a crown or bridge?

Absolutely. Once healed, your restoration will function just like a natural tooth.
