Crowns, Bridges & Onlays in Lincoln, NE

At Roots Dental in Lincoln, NE, Dr. Amy Wenninghoff uses an in-house digital lab to design and fabricate crowns, bridges, and onlays with a level of precision and efficiency that traditional workflows cannot match. In many cases, we can complete your restoration in a single visit, right here in our office.

Same-Day Crowns and Restorations

Because Dr. Amy designs and mills restorations in-house using the VHF N4+ milling machine and the SprintRay Midas printer, many patients can receive their final crown, onlay, or inlay in one appointment rather than two. There is no need to send your case to an outside lab and wait two weeks. Dr. Amy designs your restoration in Exocad, fabricates it in-office, and seats it the same day. The fit is precise, the result looks natural, and you leave with a completed restoration.

What Are Onlays and Why Do We Favor Them?

An onlay is a restoration that covers part of the tooth rather than the entire tooth surface. When the damage to a tooth does not require a full crown, an onlay is the more conservative choice. It restores the damaged area while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible, which is always our preference at Roots Dental.

Thanks to our in-house milling and printing technology, onlays can be fabricated and placed with the same speed and precision as a same-day crown. We use high quality ceramic and ceramic-resin hybrid materials that are matched to your surrounding teeth.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a pontic (replacement tooth) to the teeth on either side of the gap. Dr. Amy designs every bridge digitally to integrate seamlessly with your existing smile, matching the shape, proportion, and shade of your surrounding teeth. For patients who are not candidates for implants or who prefer a fixed non-removable option, a bridge is a reliable, long-term solution.

For patients undergoing broader cosmetic or restorative work, all crowns, bridges, and onlays are coordinated as part of the overall treatment plan so every restoration contributes to a cohesive final result.
