Why Patients Choose Us

Why Shreveport Patients Trust Us for Crowns and Bridges

Decades of Experience

Dr. David Reed Leads Your Restoration

Dr. Reed has restored Shreveport smiles for decades and personally plans each crown and bridge case at the Pines Road office. His background in implant and denture dentistry means he can compare every option side-by-side.

Zirconia and Porcelain Options

Material Matched to the Tooth

Back molars take monolithic zirconia for strength. Front teeth take layered porcelain for natural translucency. Shreveport patients leave with a restoration built for the specific tooth, not a one-size-fits-all crown.

Implant or Traditional Bridges

Right Fit for the Gap

If the teeth next to your missing tooth are healthy, we may recommend a single implant. If those neighbors already need restoration, an anchored bridge often makes more sense. We talk through both at your Shreveport consultation.

Sedation Available

Comfort for Anxious Patients

Shreveport patients who have been avoiding the dentist can pair their crown or bridge prep with nitrous oxide or oral sedation. IV sedation is coordinated on dedicated days at the Pines Road office.

About Crowns and Bridges in Shreveport

A dental crown is a custom cap that restores a tooth that has been cracked, heavily decayed, root-canal treated, or worn down. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth, called a pontic, to crowns on the adjacent teeth or to dental implants. Both restorations are color-matched to your existing teeth and built to last ten to fifteen years or longer with routine care and cleanings.

At our Shreveport office on Pines Road, Dr. David Reed plans each crown and bridge using 3D digital impressions instead of putty trays. Restorations are crafted in zirconia or layered porcelain depending on the tooth, and the fit is verified before anything is cemented. Patients commuting from Bossier City, Haughton, Stonewall, Keithville, and Greenwood appreciate that complex cases can be handled in one local office instead of multiple referrals across the ArkLaTex.

Your first step is a Shreveport consultation where Dr. Reed examines the tooth, takes a 3D scan, and walks through whether a crown, a traditional bridge, or an implant-supported bridge is the better restoration. We provide a written estimate, verify your dental benefits, and schedule the prep visit on a day that fits your commute across Caddo or Bossier Parish. Most Shreveport patients leave the second appointment with the permanent crown or bridge cemented in.

Your Care Team in Shreveport

Trusted doctors. Local care.

“I lost a lower molar years ago and the gap kept getting wider. Dr. Reed walked me through an implant versus a bridge and we went with the implant. Three months later I have a crown on it that feels exactly like the tooth I lost. Worth the drive in from Bossier City.”

FAQs

Common questions from Shreveport patients

Most crowns at our Pines Road office are completed in two visits a couple of weeks apart. The first visit is the prep and digital scan, with a temporary crown. The second visit is when Dr. Reed cements the permanent zirconia or porcelain crown.
It depends on the teeth flanking the gap. If those neighbors are healthy and unrestored, Dr. Reed often recommends a single implant to avoid touching them. If those teeth already need crowns, an anchored bridge can solve more in one restoration. Both options are discussed at your Shreveport consultation.
Yes. We see crown and bridge patients across the ArkLaTex, including Bossier City, Haughton, Stonewall, Keithville, and Greenwood. Many patients drive in from across Caddo and Bossier Parish for the convenience of one local restorative office.
Yes. Dr. Reed uses shade-matching photography and layered porcelain on front teeth to mimic the translucency of your natural enamel. Back teeth are restored in monolithic zirconia, which is shaded to blend with the neighboring molars.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown and bridge work, typically about fifty percent after your deductible. Our Shreveport team pre-verifies your benefits and gives you a written estimate before any work begins on Pines Road.
With routine brushing, flossing, and cleanings, most crowns and bridges last ten to fifteen years, and many last longer. Grinding or clenching shortens that lifespan, so Dr. Reed may recommend a custom night guard if you grind.
