Crowns, Bridges & Dentures
Crowns, Bridges & Dentures in McKinney, TX
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, or one or more teeth are missing, Cherish Dental offers restorative options built to look natural and function like your own teeth.
Dental crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a cracked, heavily decayed, or root-canal-treated tooth to protect it and restore its function. Most crowns take two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take an impression, and one to place the finished, permanent crown. We review material options and costs in writing before you commit.
Fixed bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the crowns of the teeth on either side of the gap. It’s a fixed (non-removable) solution that doesn’t require surgery, making it faster to complete than an implant in most cases.
Partial & full dentures
For patients missing several or all of their teeth, we offer removable partial and full dentures—a lower-cost option compared to fixed restorations. We also coordinate implant-supported dentures for patients who want a more stable, permanent fit; ask us about the dental implant process.
Which option is right for you?
- Crown — protects a single damaged tooth
- Bridge — replaces missing teeth without surgery, anchored to neighboring teeth
- Denture — removable, most affordable option for multiple or full-arch tooth loss
- Implant — permanent, bone-preserving replacement for one or more teeth
We discuss all of these at your consultation, with a written estimate before you commit to anything.
Restorative care questions
What does a dental crown involve?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth to protect it and restore its function. Most crown procedures involve two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take an impression, and one to place the finished crown.
What’s the difference between a bridge and a denture?
A bridge is fixed in place, anchored to your natural teeth on either side of the gap—you don’t remove it. A denture is removable and typically used when more teeth are missing or a fixed option isn’t suitable. We’ll walk through which fits your situation and budget.
How long do dentures take to get used to?
Most patients adjust to speaking and eating with new dentures within a few weeks. We schedule a follow-up visit after delivery to check fit and make any needed adjustments—some soreness during the adjustment period is normal and something we can help manage.
