Dental Crowns & Caps

Dental crowns (or caps) cover and encase a tooth to restore its natural size, shape, function, and strength. Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth has been structurally compromised due to extensive decay, large failing fillings, cracks, trauma, or severe wear from grinding. Modern crowns are crafted from various high-quality materials—including natural-looking porcelain ceramics, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and durable gold—each offering unique benefits for strength and appearance. By combining advanced dental ceramics with trusted local dental laboratories, Dr. Don B. Ruhnke, DDS delivers custom, long-lasting restorations tailored to your smile.

Fixed Dental Bridges

A dental bridge consists of connected crowns designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side. Fixed bridges provide a stable, non-removable solution to restore chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.

Dental Implant Crowns

While a dental implant acts as a replacement for a missing tooth root, the implant crown is the custom restoration attached securely on top. Implant crowns offer the distinct advantage of replacing missing teeth individually without needing to modify or reduce the healthy enamel of adjacent teeth.
