Rebuild Your Smile and Bite Function with Long-Lasting Solutions
If you’ve been dealing with missing, damaged, or weakened teeth, you're not alone—and there are solutions that can restore your smile and your confidence. At my Babylon dental office, I offer custom crowns and bridges designed to protect your teeth, improve your bite, and help you eat, speak, and smile with ease again.
Whether you’re local to Babylon or anywhere on Long Island, we’re here to help you feel great about your smile.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or implants on either side. Bridges literally “bridge the gap” in your smile and restore your bite.
Why Patients Choose Bridges
- Strong and Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality materials like E-Max, Zirconia, or porcelain fused to metal
- Beautifully Natural – Custom-shaded and shaped to match your existing teeth
- Improved Function – Chew and speak more comfortably
- Supportive of Jaw Health – Bridges help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place
- Custom Fit – Designed with precision and comfort in mind using digital technology
We’ll walk you through your options and help you choose the best materials and approach for your needs.

Benefits for Your Health & Wellbeing
Crowns and bridges do more than restore your smile—they help protect your long-term oral health and overall wellbeing:
- Reinforce damaged teeth to prevent future fractures
- Restore proper chewing and speaking ability
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment
- Boost your self-confidence in personal and professional settings
- Reduce discomfort caused by damaged or missing teeth
-
When your bite is balanced and your smile feels whole, everything from digestion to daily comfort improves.

What to Expect from Treatment
Here’s how the process typically works:
- Initial Evaluation – We’ll examine your teeth, take digital X-rays, and discuss your goals.
- Tooth Prep & Impressions – We prepare the anchor teeth.
- Temporary Restoration – You’ll wear a temporary bridge while your permanent one is being crafted.
- Once it’s ready, we bond your E-Max or Zirconia bridge in place and make any needed adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
- Final Placement – Your custom bridge is bonded into place, polished, and adjusted for comfort and function.
Treatment is completed over two visits, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About E-Max & Zirconia Crowns
What is the difference between E-Max and Zirconia crowns?
E-Max crowns are made from lithium disilicate ceramic and are known for their superior aesthetics and translucency, making them ideal for front teeth. Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium oxide and are incredibly strong and durable, making them a great choice for back teeth or patients who grind their teeth.
Are E-Max and Zirconia crowns safe?
Yes! Both E-Max and Zirconia crowns are metal-free, biocompatible, and safe for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities. They are durable, long-lasting, and less likely to cause irritation than traditional metal crowns.
How long do E-Max or Zirconia crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, these crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. Their strength and durability make them a long-term solution for protecting and restoring damaged teeth.
Will my crown look like a natural tooth?
Absolutely. Both E-Max and Zirconia crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. E-Max is especially known for its natural translucency and lifelike appearance, making it almost indistinguishable from your real tooth.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all. Dr. Catera ensures that the entire crown process is comfortable and stress-free. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area during preparation, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during or after the procedure.
Can I replace old metal crowns with E-Max or Zirconia?
Yes! Many patients choose to upgrade old metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns with more aesthetic and metal-free E-Max or Zirconia options. Dr. Catera will evaluate your case and recommend the best replacement plan.
