Dental crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years, but with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they can often last even longer. Avoiding hard foods, teeth grinding and poor oral habits can also help extend their lifespan.

Dental Crowns and Bridges in Boulder, CO
At Table Mesa Dental, we specialize in same-day crowns and bridges using advanced 3D printing and in-office milling. Many restorations can be completed in a single visit—no temporary crowns or second appointments needed.
Crowns are custom-made to restore damaged or weakened teeth, often after large fillings or root canals. For missing teeth, bridges offer a strong, natural-looking solution by anchoring artificial teeth to neighboring teeth or implants. We use high-quality porcelain and ceramic to ensure durability and a seamless, aesthetic result—helping you chew, speak and smile with confidence.

Process
Initial Consultation: Your restoration begins with a detailed evaluation where we assess your oral health, discuss your goals and take precise digital scans to design a treatment plan made just for you.
Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the affected tooth is gently reshaped to ensure a secure, natural-looking fit. For bridges, the neighboring teeth are prepared to anchor the restoration for strength and stability.
Design & Placement: Thanks to our in-office 3D printing and milling, your custom crown or bridge is crafted and placed the same day—often eliminating the need for temporaries. If a temporary is needed, we’ll provide one to maintain comfort and function while your final restoration is being completed.

Next Steps
Fitting & Adjustment: Using our in-office 3D printing and milling, most crowns and bridges are designed, crafted and placed in a single visit. We ensure that your restoration fits comfortably and functions naturally, making precise bite and alignment adjustments on the spot for optimal comfort.
Permanent Placement: Once the fit feels perfect, your custom crown or bridge is securely bonded in place—restoring strength, function and a natural appearance. We’ll provide clear care instructions to help maintain your restoration for the long term.
Follow-up Care: Regular checkups help us monitor your crown or bridge over time. If you ever need adjustments or have questions, our team is here to keep your smile healthy and comfortable.
