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. Judson Murray and Dr. Neil Patel plan 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 comprehensive exam with one of our Shreveport doctors, who 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. The number of visits from there depends on your case and our schedule, and we explain the timeline up front.
