Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, sometimes referred to as “caps,” are custom, tooth-shaped restorations placed over a weakened or damaged tooth. They reinforce and protect the natural structure while restoring strength, bite function, and aesthetics.
At our Westchester County, NY dental practice, crowns are carefully designed and fabricated with precision. Because crowns require such detailed customization, they are a cornerstone of prosthodontics. Our dentists apply their specialized training to ensure your crown looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports your long-term oral health.
What Makes Our Crowns Different
Unlike many other practices, we fabricate crowns in our on-site dental lab, On-the-Mark Dental Studio. This unique advantage allows us to:
- Deliver crowns faster, often with fewer visits
- Oversee quality and accuracy at every step
- Make immediate adjustments if needed
We also offer CEREC same-day crowns, which allow many patients to receive a crown in just one appointment. Options include ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, gold, and even stainless steel for children. Our dentists will explain which material best suits your needs.
In addition to restoring strength and function, crowns can also enhance your smile by improving the shape, color, and overall appearance of your teeth—helping you feel more confident every time you smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Crowns, an essential part of modern prosthodontics, offer lasting benefits, such as:
- A strong and functional bite
- Seamless blending with natural teeth
- Relief from cracked or sensitive teeth
- Long-term durability with proper care
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) anchored by crowns on the natural teeth beside the gap. Bridges remain an important solution in prosthodontics, especially for patients who are not candidates for dental implants.
At our dental office in Westchester County, NY, we design bridges that restore full function and look as natural as your surrounding teeth. If multiple teeth are missing, or if supporting teeth are weak, dental implants may provide a better long-term option.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Bridges created with prosthodontic precision provide many advantages, including:
- Restoring a complete, natural smile
- Making chewing easier and more comfortable
- Improving speech clarity
- Distributing bite forces evenly to reduce stress on surrounding teeth
- Being more affordable than dental implants while still lasting many years
What to Expect
Getting dental crowns and dental bridges in Westchester County, NY typically requires two visits. Thanks to our in-house lab and advanced technology, the process is much faster and more precise than at practices that outsource lab work.
During your first visit, our dental team will:
- Take a complete dental and medical history

- Explain your treatment options clearly
Our front office staff will review your insurance benefits and payment options to make your care as stress-free as possible. You’ll never feel pressured into treatment—you’ll simply receive the information and support you need to make the right decision for your health.
