Dental Crowns & Bridges
in Munford, TN

Dental crowns are tooth-colored caps that are made to mimic the natural appearance of the patient’s teeth. Dental bridges are essentially three or more crowns that are attached together. Once a tooth has been reshaped, the restoration can be placed, and the patient is free to show off their new smile! To learn more about our restorative services, please get in touch with our friendly front office team, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

What can dental crowns and bridges be used for?

Custom dental crowns are commonly used for a variety of reasons, including:

Strengthening weak teeth
Protecting worn-down teeth from further damage
Holding damaged teeth together
Covering a dental implant
Covering misshapen or discolored teeth
Replacing a missing tooth (dental bridges)

When can I return to work or school after receiving a crown or bridge?

Dental crowns and bridges are minimally-invasive restorative treatments, so patients can typically return to work or school right away post-treatment. If you utilize nitrous oxide sedation during your treatment, you may want to wait in our lobby for a little while to ensure that all of the effects wear off, but otherwise, you’re free to go about your normal routine. It’s a good idea to wait until the numbness wears off in your mouth before you try to eat anything, and you should stick to soft foods and chew with the other side of your mouth for a while.

Are dental crowns better than bridges or veneers?

Dental crowns, bridges, and veneers are all excellent treatment options that are used by different patients for different reasons. Dental crowns are placed over a single tooth and can be used to restore front teeth and molars. Dental bridges are used for many of the same reasons as crowns, but they cover two or more teeth at a time and can be used to replace missing teeth as well. Veneers are generally only used to restore and enhance the front teeth that show when a patient smiles. Our team would be happy to help you find the right option for your smile!

"My dentist in Memphis retired & Southern Dental was suggested to us by a friend from church. They went above and beyond to get me in as soon as possible to keep me on my 6 month cleaning schedule. They are all so sweet & very thorough. Haven't had my teeth cleaned that well ever."
Gayle M.

"Dr. Langston has been my dentist for 5 years now. He is wonderful with excellent beside manner! The staff is always friendly, helpful and professional. I recommend this office to everyone!"
Ginger W.

"I had two teeth prepared for caps. All the staff are friendly as well as professional. Dr. Langston was very concerned with any discomfort I might be feeling throughout the entire procedure, though there was none. His assistant, who completed the procedure by making and fitting the temporary caps, was as professional and accomplished as Dr. Langston. I rarely give reviews, but I think Southern Dental in Munford is surely worth it."
Phillip H.

"They really are the most caring people here. They bend over backwards to help you when you're in need. Dr. Langston is the man! Treats you like a person instead of a patient. If you are an anxious person or fearful of going to the dentist. This is the place you need to start going to."
Rick C.

"My family all receive great care at Southern Dental of Munford. They are helpful in working out appointment scheduling for my family of 4. We appreciate their kindness and their service for keeping us healthy! I notice that they go above and beyond, they listen, and make sure each appointment is a great experience."
