Dental Crowns & Bridges Cookeville TN

Missing or damaged teeth can make even the most simple actions challenging. Whether it's eating the foods you love, speaking clearly, or smiling confidently, these limitations take their toll and subtly chip away at your quality of life.

At Hall Dental Group, we care about you and want you to have the comfort and freedom to enjoy life to the fullest. We are pleased to offer high-quality, same-day CEREC dental crowns and bridges that restore your smile’s comfort and function and look beautifully realistic.

Why Our Cookeville Dentist Recommends Dental Crowns

Dental crowns in Cookeville are a tooth-shaped porcelain shell or "cap" designed to cover a damaged or decayed tooth down to the gumline. We use the highest quality materials to custom-craft a dental crown that seamlessly matches the color, shape, and size of surrounding teeth. 

Here are a few reasons why Dr. Hall would recommend a dental crown:

• Hold together parts of a cracked tooth
• Strengthen a broken tooth 
• Restore a worn-down tooth
• Support a tooth with a large filling 
• Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
• Anchor a dental bridge in place
• Cover a misshapen or discolored tooth

Hall Dental Group proudly uses advanced CEREC technology to deliver high-quality, same-day crowns. CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, making the process more convenient. 

• The first step is a consultation and examination with Dr. Hall so he can determine if a dental crown is right for you.
• Next, he reshapes the tooth so the dental crown will fit naturally. Then he uses our intraoral scanner to take a digital impression, producing a 3-D virtual model of your teeth.
• Using CEREC's precise technology, Dr. Hall designs a custom crown that fits perfectly with your bite and blends seamlessly with your smile.
• When the design is finalized, we mill the crown in our Cookeville dentist office from a block of high-quality ceramic.
• The final step is to adjust the crown as needed to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite, then cement the crown securely on your tooth. 

Leading-edge CEREC technology streamlines the process and provides a durable dental crown that can last 15 years or longer when cared for properly.

In addition to crowns, we also use CEREC technology for inlays, onlays, and implant restorations, providing you with a wide range of restorative options.

Dental Bridges in Cookeville Replace Missing Teeth

A missing tooth affects your smile's aesthetics and leads to other oral health problems like drifting teeth and misalignment. Dental bridges, a time-tested tooth replacement, can prevent these issues.

As the name implies, a dental bridge in Cookeville spans the gap in your smile with an artificial tooth to restore your function and appearance. The bridge is custom-crafted with two crowns—one attached to each tooth on either side of the gap. An artificial tooth called a pontic sits in the gap and is supported by the crowns on adjacent teeth, also called abutment teeth.

The Benefits and Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

Replacing a missing tooth with a dental bridge offers several benefits:

• Restores your smile’s appearance and functionality
• Helps support your facial features 
• Ensures that your bite is distributed properly
• Stops remaining teeth from tilting or moving out of position

Dr. Hall may recommend a same-day dental bridge using CEREC or a lab-fabricated crown that takes about 2–3 weeks to prepare. He will explain his recommendation and the pros and cons of each. With excellent oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, dental bridges typically last 10–15 years.
