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.

Dentist office goes far and beyond my needs.. Michelle is the greatest..

Awesome service from the front desk girls to the hygienist and Dr Zia. 5 stars Thank you for being wonderful
Excellent care there. I have been going there probably 15 years and won't go anywhere else
My dentist is amazing
Very happy with the friendly staff
I just had my teeth cleaned At Albright dental got there at 10 o’clock. Everybody was ready For my appointment. The hygienist was great no problems Great place to go
Been a patient for years, always great and friendly staff
Very professional from the receptionist ,hygienist and the doctor. Would recommend this facility to all my family and friends. The best experience I ever had from a dentist office.
Me and my kids love Dr. Rafeq and the staff!!
I’ve been a patient at All Brite for about 8 years now and I couldn’t be happier! The staff is always accommodating with schedule changes and helpful with any questions or concerns I may have. Dr. Rafiq is gentle and every experience I’ve had has always been painless. Sara is my DH and she is always so welcoming, I look forward to seeing her for each cleaning! I would recommend All Brite to everyone seeking a pleasant and painless dental experience.
Had a very good experience here. First had a cleaning that was on time (no extra wait time). The cleaning went well and they found some cavities (not good for me but no impact on the dentist office :)). Then after the cleaning the dentist came in to review the cleaners findings for the cavities and found an additional one. Then I set up an appointment for about a week later to get all the cavities taken care of. On the day of the appointment they called me and said they were running ahead of schedule and let me come in earlier. So not only no wait, I got in earlier and out earlier. During the filling of my cavities I had novocaine but it seemed like a nerve was still hit (could/probably was just me being nervous) but even so they still gave me some extra novocaine just in case. Overall the filling of 5 cavities was painless and they made sure my bite was not effected by the cavity fillings (for the larger one). I would definitely recommend them. My kids go there as well and they are very kid friendly. My son was on the no cavity list and he was put into a drawing and won a $50 gift card to Toys R Us.
All 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!
I have been going to All Brite Dental for several years now. I have never had a bad experience with the staff or the Doctor. I enjoy sitting down in "the" chair and chatting with the technicians. The doctor is very pleasant and gets right to the root of the problem. No pun intended. She takes the time to get down to earth with her patients. I guess having a staff of females is just more neutering and makes me feel more comfortable there.
Great place and the people there really take good care of their patients.
Love Dr Rafiq and her staff! Always friendly and professional
The minute I walked into The All-Brite office I felt like family. As a staff member handed me a welcome gift, I was quickly escorted to a room. No wailting. Talked to the doctor about my evaluation, all with no hidden charges. As I begin to send this review, I receive a text reminding me about my appt. I have NEVER experienced such an amazing group of people. I am looking forward to my teeth cleaning experience.
I 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!
My daughter and I had an amazing experience! The staff there is excellent! Dr. Rafiq, Chelsea, Sarah, Katherine and Kendall were so helpful! Definitely there to stay!!
I can't see myself going to any other dentist office ever. They are just amazing, kind and professional. And most importantly no pain during my procedure.
