Dental Crowns

The use of dental crowns can restore a natural tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. With advanced technology and premium materials, we are able to create custom-made caps virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Our metal-free ceramic options ensure a natural look while our minimal preparation techniques preserve your natural tooth structure. We take pride in perfect color matching that allows your crown to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing long-lasting results with proper care. Thanks to our advanced technology, we can even offer same-day crown options for your convenience, making restoring your smile to its natural beauty easier than ever.

Dental Bridges

You may feel self-conscious when you have missing teeth, so we offer custom-made dental bridges to fill these spaces with natural-looking replacement teeth. Dr. Viechnicki’s expertise in bridge placement ensures comfortable results that restore both function and aesthetics. We provide multiple bridge solutions to meet your needs, including traditional bridges, implant-supported options, and metal-free ceramic choices. Each bridge is carefully crafted using minimal preparation techniques when possible, and our custom color matching ensures your restoration blends perfectly with your natural teeth. No matter what you choose, from a traditional bridge to an implant-supported bridge, we aim to give you a complete, confident smile that looks and feels natural.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays represent the perfect balance between traditional fillings and full crowns, offering an ideal solution for restoring broken, chipped, or decayed teeth and replacing old amalgam fillings. These porcelain restorations provide a more conservative approach than full crowns, allowing us to preserve natural tooth structure while also providing exceptional strength and aesthetics. When you have a cracked tooth or an old amalgam filling leaking or failing, Dr. Viechnicki carefully removes only the unhealthy portion affected by decay, old mercury fillings, or cracks. She then designs a custom restoration that our skilled ceramist crafts into a beautiful porcelain filling that fits your existing tooth. The result is a stronger, healthier tooth that looks completely natural. This conservative approach not only preserves your tooth structure but also provides a durable, long-lasting solution that enhances your smile’s function and appearance.

FAQ's

Can dental crowns and bridges last for a long time?

A dental crown or bridge can last 10-15 years with proper care and maintenance. Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding can extend their longevity. At our Allentown practice, we use the highest quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure the longevity of your restoration.

Will my crown or bridge look natural?

Absolutely! Dr. Viechnicki specializes in creating restorations that perfectly match your natural teeth. Using state-of-the-art technology and premium ceramic materials, we carefully craft each crown and bridge to match the color, translucency, and shape of your existing teeth. Most patients report that they can’t tell which tooth has been restored.

Is the crown or bridge procedure painful?

Your comfort is our top priority. While you may experience some sensitivity during the preparation process, we use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Keeping more of your natural tooth structure is also possible with our minimal preparation techniques. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during and after the procedure.

What's the difference between traditional and implant-supported bridges?

Natural teeth support traditional bridges, but dental implants anchor implant-supported bridges. Dr. Viechnicki will evaluate your situation at our Allentown office and recommend the best option. Implant-supported bridges often provide additional stability and help preserve your natural tooth structure, but only some are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we’ll discuss all available options to help you make an informed decision.
