Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Smile with Expertly Crafted Crowns and Bridges
When a tooth becomes damaged, weakened, or lost entirely, it can disrupt your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. At Berrey Family Dentistry, we specialize in restoring dental health with beautifully crafted crowns and bridges that not only repair what’s broken but help you feel whole again. Led by Dr. Iliana Suarez, our team is known for blending clinical excellence with compassionate care—and what makes us truly unique is the presence of our in-house dental lab, which elevates the quality and efficiency of every restoration we provide.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has a large cavity, has been treated with a root canal, or has suffered a fracture that can’t be repaired with a filling. Crowns provide protection and structure, while also restoring aesthetics and function.
At Berrey Family Dentistry, we create crowns that look and feel natural. Because we have an in-house lab, our team has the ability to design and fabricate your crown on-site. This allows for exceptional control over the color, contour, and fit of your restoration, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your natural smile. It also means less waiting and fewer adjustments, as our lab can collaborate directly with Dr. Suarez to make refinements in real time.
A dental bridge is a restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges are a reliable and long-lasting solution to fill gaps, restore balance to your bite, and prevent shifting of nearby teeth. They not only improve function but also restore facial harmony and confidence in your smile.
The benefit of having our in-house lab is especially valuable for bridges. Because bridges involve multiple connected teeth, achieving a precise and comfortable fit is critical. Our lab technicians work side-by-side with Dr. Suarez to ensure the design, fit, and aesthetic details are exactly right. This collaborative process allows us to deliver outstanding results without the delays associated with outsourcing.
Our in-house dental lab is one of the greatest assets we offer to our patients. Unlike many dental offices that rely on outside labs, we design, craft, and refine your crowns and bridges right here in our Miami practice. This allows us to oversee every step of the process—from the initial impression to the final polish—ensuring faster turnaround times, superior customization, and more control over quality.
Because our lab team works directly with Dr. Suarez, we can make precise color matches and fit adjustments quickly. If a change is needed, it can often be made on the same day, avoiding the frustrating delays that come with traditional lab work. For patients, this means fewer appointments, less time in temporary restorations, and a final result that feels like it was made just for you—because it was.
This level of detail and service is a cornerstone of what makes Berrey Family Dentistry different. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry. Every crown and bridge is handcrafted to restore both the health and harmony of your smile.
Crowns are typically used when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling, after root canal therapy, or to protect a weakened tooth from breaking. They can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the shape or color of a tooth.
Bridges are an ideal solution for patients missing one or more teeth in a row. Missing teeth not only affect your ability to chew and speak—they can also lead to shifting teeth, bite changes, and bone loss over time. A well-designed bridge restores balance, stability, and confidence in your bite and appearance.
During your visit, Dr. Suarez will thoroughly evaluate your needs and discuss whether a crown, bridge, or another treatment is best suited to restore your dental health.
The treatment process typically takes two visits. During the first, the tooth or teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and temporary restorations are placed. Because of our in-house lab, the design and fabrication of your crown or bridge begin immediately, streamlining the process and shortening wait times.
Once your custom restoration is ready, we bring you back for a second visit to check the fit, shape, and color. Any necessary adjustments can be made on the spot. When everything is perfect, we cement the final restoration into place and ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable.
Our patients often remark how smooth the experience feels—from consultation to final result—thanks to the efficiency and accuracy our lab provides.
