Protect What's Left. Replace What's Gone.
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling or needs extra protection after a root canal, a crown is often the best way to restore its strength and protect it long term. And when a tooth is missing entirely, a bridge offers a fixed, natural-looking solution that fills the gap without surgery. At Brisa Dental Arts, we craft custom crowns and bridges designed to last and built to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Dr. Johana Cobo and Dr. Elizabeth Santiago provide precise, comfortable restorative care for patients throughout Kissimmee, FL, with a focus on results that look good, feel right, and hold up for years.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers an entire tooth from the gumline up, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth with significant decay, cracked or broken teeth, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, and teeth that have worn down over time. They're also used to anchor a dental bridge on either side of a gap.
We use high-quality, tooth-colored materials that match your natural enamel in both shade and translucency, so your crown looks like a natural part of your smile.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by suspending an artificial tooth between two crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. The result is a fixed restoration that fills the gap and restores full chewing function, no surgery required. Bridges are a well-established, reliable option and a great choice for patients who prefer to avoid implant surgery or who aren't candidates for it.
The Crown and Bridge Process
Both crowns and bridges are typically completed over two appointments. At your first visit, we prepare the tooth or teeth, take digital impressions or scans, and place a temporary restoration to protect your teeth while your permanent one is crafted in the dental lab. At your second appointment, the final crown or bridge is placed and carefully adjusted for fit and bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Bridges have a similar lifespan, though they depend on the health of the supporting teeth. Good home care and regular checkups are key.
The preparation is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain. Some sensitivity while wearing a temporary crown is common and typically resolves once the permanent restoration is placed.
It's uncommon, but it can happen if the underlying tooth becomes compromised. If your crown comes off, contact us right away and bring it with you to your appointment.
Both effectively replace a missing tooth, but they work differently. A bridge relies on the adjacent teeth for support and doesn't require surgery. An implant stands independently and preserves bone beneath the gap. Our dentist in Kissimmee will help you weigh your options during a consultation.
Many plans cover a portion of crown and bridge treatment. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment and go over any expected costs upfront.
