Crowns and Bridges in Altadena

Dental Crowns are custom-made “caps” that are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their size, shape, and function. Crowns can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal and are used to protect your teeth after root canals or to repair teeth with large fillings. 

When Crowns Are Needed: 

  • Severe Decay or Fractures: When your tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling, a crown can provide structural support and protection. 
  • After Root Canal Treatment: Crowns are often placed on your teeth after root canal therapy to protect the treated tooth from fracture or reinfection. 
  • Cosmetic Improvements: Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Benefits of Crowns: 

  • Strength and Durability: Crowns are designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces, making them long-lasting restorations. 
  • Natural Appearance: Modern crowns are made to match the color and shape of the natural teeth, blending in seamlessly with your smile.

Bridges: A Complete Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental bridges are an excellent restorative option to replace one or more missing teeth. By "bridging" the gap left by missing teeth, bridges restore your smile's aesthetics and functionality, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

How Bridges Work

A dental bridge typically consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns affixed to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. They are custom-made to seamlessly blend with your existing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Improved Functionality: Restores your ability to chew and speak properly.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Provides a natural-looking smile.
  • Prevents Teeth Shifting: Keeps neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap.
