Dental Bridges and Dental Crowns in Tampa, FL
Crowns and bridges are long-lasting solutions that restore teeth affected by damage, decay, or loss. A dental crown caps and protects a weakened or broken tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using crowns for support. Designed to blend in naturally, these restorations strengthen your bite, enhance your smile, and prevent shifting or further dental issues.

Crown Lengthening Process
If a tooth is broken, decayed near the gumline, or doesn’t have enough visible structure to support a crown or filling, Dr. Srour may recommend crown lengthening. This procedure can also help if you feel your smile looks too “gummy” by reshaping the gumline for a more balanced appearance.
Crown lengthening involves carefully reshaping the gum—and sometimes the bone—around a tooth to expose more of its surface. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Initial healing usually takes about 1–2 weeks. However, it can take 2–3 months for the gums to fully settle before placing a permanent crown.

Crown Lengthening Post Op
Brush your teeth gently, avoiding the surgical area for the first two weeks.
Rinse with a prescribed mouthwash or warm salt water (1⁄2 teaspoon salt in 8 oz warm water) 2–3 times daily, especially after meals.
Avoid vigorous swishing or spitting to protect the healing tissue.
