RESTORATIVE & PROSTHODONTIC DENTISTRY
Crowns & Bridges in Ball Ground, GA
Custom porcelain crowns and fixed bridges, designed and fitted by a certified prosthodontist. Every restoration is matched to your natural teeth in shape, shade, and function — because you should never have to think twice about your smile.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your crown or bridge, step by step.
1
Examination & Planning
We evaluate the damaged tooth, surrounding teeth, and your bite to determine whether a crown, bridge, or alternative restoration is the right solution.
2
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the crown. Impressions are taken and a temporary restoration is placed while yours is crafted.
3
Custom Fabrication
Your crown or bridge is crafted in a dental lab to precise specifications — matched to your desired shade, shape, and bite.
4
Final Placement
The restoration is bonded or cemented into place, adjusted for perfect fit and bite, and polished to a natural finish.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers a damaged tooth entirely — restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain, zirconia, or gold — each material chosen based on the location of the tooth, your bite forces, and your personal preference and are color-matched to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
A crown may be recommended when a tooth has been severely cracked or fractured, has a large cavity that cannot be filled, has undergone a root canal, has significant structural damage from an old failing filling, or is being used as the foundation for a dental bridge or implant restoration.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth — called a pontic — between two crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. The result is a seamless, permanent replacement that restores your bite, your smile, and your ability to speak and chew comfortably.
Why choose Ireland Restorative Dentistry for crowns and bridges?
Crown and bridge work at Ireland Restorative Dentistry is performed by both Dr. Ireland and Dr. Hewgley. Dr. Ireland’s prosthodontic background informs every case with a whole-mouth perspective — how the restoration affects the bite, the adjacent teeth, and the long-term health of the surrounding tissue. Dr. Hewgley brings the same commitment to precision and natural-looking results to every crown she places.
Together they offer a level of attention to detail that goes well beyond what most general practices provide — and every patient benefits from that standard, regardless of which doctor is in the chair.
