Crowns & Bridge

If you have a tooth that is damaged, decayed or cracked, a crown might be necessary. The crown will be fitted directly onto the tooth, covering it for protection and visual beauty. If you have even a slightly compromised tooth, you can benefit from analysis performed by our dentist along with a crown and a bridge. Get the process started by dialing (951) 214-6585 to schedule an appointment.

Dental crowns are commonly made of porcelain though they can also be made of metals and gold. Porcelain crowns are favored as they resemble actual teeth. Once your crown is in place, you will find it whitens your teeth while also realigning them, making your smile all the more impactful.

Bridges, commonly used in unison with crowns, are devices that replace the space where a tooth has been extracted. The average bridge has a filler tooth known as a pontic that is connected to abutments. The bridge bonds to the mouth, ensuring the gaps in spaces where natural teeth are missing do not lead to the shifting of teeth, occlusion, periodontal disease or jaw issues. Your bridge will protect the integrity of your teeth and simultaneously bring out the best in your smile. In the end, your dental crown and bridge will function as a permanent solution to missing or damaged teeth. Once securely bonded to your teeth, these solutions bolster tooth strength, beauty and even alignment. With the optimal care regimen, your crown and bridge might last you upwards of a full decade.
