Dental crowns and bridges at Weiss Family Dentistry restore both the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. A crown encases a weakened or broken tooth in a custom-fitted cap — typically porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal — restoring its full biting strength and natural look. A bridge uses two crowned anchor teeth to support one or more artificial teeth in between, closing gaps left by extractions without the need for implant surgery. Dr. Weiss has placed crowns and bridges for patients across Cockeysville and Towson for over 30 years, with a strong track record of durable, well-fitting restorations.

The crown process at Weiss Family Dentistry typically involves two appointments: the first to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and the second — usually 1–2 weeks later — to fit and cement the permanent crown. A temporary crown is placed in between to protect the tooth.
Both are effective, but the right choice depends on your bone density, the condition of adjacent teeth, and your overall health. A bridge is faster and non-surgical, while an implant is a standalone solution that doesn't involve neighbouring teeth. Dr. Weiss will assess your specific situation and explain the clinical trade-offs of each option.
There may be a brief adjustment period of a few days as your bite settles, but a well-fitted crown should feel entirely natural during chewing and speaking. Dr. Weiss checks the bite carefully at the fitting appointment and makes any necessary adjustments before you leave.
