Both our Dearborn Dentist & Brownstown Dental Clinic provide dental crowns and bridge consultations for patients. These procedures are extremely effective for restoring a tooth that has become infected, damaged, or has fallen out. We can complete these procedures in a way that looks natural while resolving oral health issues. This way, a patient can regain the functionality of their tooth without giving the appearance of any dental work.
A dental crown is a cap that surrounds the tooth. We typically use a crown to restore a damaged tooth, but they can also use it to improve the appearance of a smile. A crown can consist of three different materials, all-metal, ceramic-on-metal and all-ceramic. The location of the crown in the teeth will determine the best material to use. For example, front teeth need to have an all-ceramic crown, if possible, since it looks the most natural. Patients may often use ceramic-on-metal crowns since they look natural but have the durability that only metal can provide.
A dental bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. At All Brite Dental, we provide clients with dental bridges if they want to replace a tooth without wearing dentures or undergoing surgery. The new tooth is held in place by two crowns. It looks natural and consists of a ceramic or porcelain material to match the surrounding teeth. As a cosmetic dentist, Zia Rafiq will make sure that the new tooth looks and feels amazing.
If you are getting dental crowns or a dental bridge for cosmetic reasons, we recommend that you whiten your teeth first. At All Brite Dental, we offer teeth whitening procedures that can improve the appearance of your smile quickly and easily. It is important to have this procedure done first because the material that crowns and bridges are made out of are both stain and bleach resistant. That means that if it is created to match yellow teeth, it will remain yellow even if you have your teeth whitened at a later date.
When you have the procedure done first, your new crown or bridge will be made to match your new brilliantly white teeth. When preparing for the procedure, we recommend that patients take a day off of work. If possible, you may want to take a couple of days off. It is normal for teeth to be somewhat sensitive, and it is easier if you don’t have to worry about meeting clients and keeping up with your busy schedule.
When getting dental crowns and dental bridges installed, it is advisable that you work with a cosmetic dentist that knows how to complete the procedure in a way that looks natural. At All Brite Dental, we can do so while also working to keep our patients as comfortable as possible by using sedation dentistry. The process for both procedures is fairly similar. Before getting started, an impression is taken of the teeth so that the new crown or bridge can be created in a dental lab.
When placing a dental crown around a tooth, All Brite Dental starts by preparing the tooth. We will need to remove a portion of the enamel so that there is room for the new crown to surround the tooth without pushing other teeth out of place. Once complete, we will clean the tooth and secure a temporary crown to it using removable glue. Patients typically wear a temporary crown for around two weeks while waiting for a permanent one to be created in the lab. During this time, it is important to be careful with what you eat and how you brush your teeth since the temporary is designed to come off.
When the dental restoratives are complete, patients return to our office, so that we can remove the temporaries and bond the permanent ones to the tooth. For a dental crown, we will secure the cap around the tooth and complete it through dental bonding. With a bridge, a crown is placed on the two teeth that are surrounding the missing one. On top of the crown is a piece that looks like natural gums that will hold the new tooth in place. These two crowns serve as anchors for this synthetic “bridge” and makes a new tooth as durable as it can be. Patients depend on this procedure as a way to replace missing teeth in a way that looks natural and restores the functionality of the missing tooth.
When getting dental Restoratives, your teeth will be somewhat sensitive after they have been prepared. This is why you need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for a permanent one to be created. We use sedation dentistry to ensure that you will not experience any discomfort during the procedure and after the fact you simply need to take some oral pain medication for a couple of days until you feel better.
The benefit of wearing a crown is that it surrounds and protects the tooth. This means that regardless of how damaged the tooth was, you can eat your favorite foods without fear of discomfort. A crown can restore the functionality of your mouth by making it easy to eat, drink and speak like normal. This is ideal for people that are suffering from severely sensitive teeth, have a cracked or chipped tooth or have undergone a root canal. Similarly, a bridge makes it possible to eat and speak like normal without worrying about your new tooth becoming loose or falling out. They are both ideal for people that have active lifestyles and don’t want to be constrained by their teeth.

Patrick HigginsBeen a patient for years, always great and friendly staff
ja fisanickThe front staff, dental hygienist, and dentist were all very nice and friendly. Excellent work, and the prices are very fair if you don't have insurance.
Nirmeen H CollierAbsolutely great place to go! They were thorough and super friendly and co-pays were the lowest of any dentist office i can remember going to. It's a smaller dentistry and located on first floor of Business Suites, but it had a more personable feeling than just another patient. I'd highly recommend going here.
Chris RosenWonderful & Friendly staff.

Elvira MeeksI had to find another dentist a few years back now, I was very concern about moving because I had been with my old dentist for over 20 years. To my wonderful surprise Dr Rafiq was so nice as well as very good . I felt comfortable from the beginning with her and the staff. Everyone is pleasant and very professional, I am truly happy with my decision to reach out to All Bright Dental.
judy logsdonNo dentist nor dentist office staff will treat you better and make you feel part of the family. I've had veneers, crowns, fillings, to cleanings over the course of 4 years or so. 80% without a shot administered. Most being in and out under 20 minutes. You will not be disappointed.
KeithAll I can say is AMAZING! I just switched over to this dentist office and they have been so attentive and kind. On my first appointment everyone made me feel so welcome and the doctor spent over an hour with me just to get to me and explain what my xrays. Today I had a slight mishap and lost a filling. They were able to squeeze me in immediately and took care of me as if I were their only patient. Front receptionists and assistants are also super friendly. All around great place!
Nicole BarronsSo far, each time I've visited, and only being a member for a little over a year, I can say that my visits have been nothing less than astonishing and wonderful. From the warm and welcoming staff to Dr. Rafiq herself. I would recommend All Brite to anyone who needs to visit a dentist.
Melvin AlexanderLovely place. The dentist worked quick and was very friendly.
Andrew WhiteI have had nothing but a positive experience at All Brite Dental. I have had great and thorough cleanings. Everyone in the office is extremely friendly and pleasant. They are always flexible and helpful. I love my new dentist!
Jillian BernathI love it here
A BGreat place and the people there really take good care of their patients.
Franklin OnwenuI've been coming here for 10 years. Dr.Rafiq is a knowledgeable and amiable dentist, with pleasant and professional staff. Good enough that I still drive here after i moved further away!
Paula RedmondI've been going to the All Brite Dental office on Allen Road in Woodhaven for around 4 months. In that time I had an exam, full mouth xrays, filling repairs, cleaning and teeth whitening. I'll have another cleaning in a couple weeks. Everyone there has been professional, friendly, caring, and easy to communicate with. They send email reminders for appts. and call if able to fit me in earlier than my scheduled appt. All of the procedures were pain free. Dr Rafiq is very caring and respectful of her patients. She knew about a condition I have, and why I need medication when having dental procedures. No one at the office give me flack, tried to talk me out of using antibiotics or made negative comments about people using the internet to self-diagnose (which was why I left the last dental practice I was going to). I appreciate all of the support and decency they have showed me.
