Dental Crowns & Fillings in Gilbert, AZ

Dental Crowns & Fillings in Gilbert, AZ

Whether you have a small cavity that needs a filling or a severely damaged tooth requiring a full crown, Lindsay Crossing Dental and Aesthetics provides precision restorations designed to look natural and last for years. Dr. Bringhurst uses advanced CBCT imaging to plan every restoration with accuracy.

One of our patients, Monica, described her experience: her toothache and inflammation were addressed with "a perfectly executed bridge." That level of precision and care is what we bring to every restoration.

When Do You Need a Crown or Filling?

Fillings are used to repair small to moderate cavities. We use tooth-colored composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth—no more visible metal fillings. The process is straightforward: we remove the decay, clean the area, and fill it with durable composite material, all in a single visit.

Crowns are recommended when a tooth has significant damage that a filling alone can't repair. Common reasons include large cavities that have compromised the tooth structure, cracks or fractures, weakened teeth after root canal therapy, and cosmetic improvements for severely worn or misshapen teeth.

Precision Dentistry: CBCT Imaging

We use CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) imaging to see detailed 3D views of your teeth and jawbone. This advanced technology helps Dr. Bringhurst plan restorations with exceptional accuracy, ensuring optimal fit and long-term durability.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

For fillings, most appointments are completed in under an hour. We numb the area thoroughly and can provide nitrous oxide if you need extra comfort.

The typical crown process involves two visits. During the first visit, Dr. Bringhurst prepares the tooth, takes precise impressions, and places a temporary crown. At your second visit, we bond your permanent crown into place, checking the fit and bite carefully before you leave.

Dr. Bringhurst takes the time to ensure every fit is perfect. Our comfort amenities—blankets, nitrous oxide if needed, and a TV on the ceiling—make even longer appointments feel manageable.

Crown Materials & Options

We offer several crown materials depending on the tooth location and your aesthetic preferences. All-porcelain crowns provide the most natural appearance for front teeth. Zirconia crowns offer exceptional strength for back teeth while still looking natural. We'll discuss the best option for your specific situation during your consultation.
