Dental Crowns and Bridges
Over time, our teeth can naturally weaken, making them more susceptible to structural problems like decay, cracks, or severe discoloration. To restore both the beauty and full function of a compromised tooth, we use custom-made dental crowns, which are carefully crafted from natural-looking porcelain. Crowns are incredibly versatile and are often used following root canal therapy, as the finishing restoration for a dental implant, or as the strong anchors needed to support a dental bridge. Transforming your smile with a crown typically takes just two to three comfortable office visits, and with regular cleanings and great at-home care, your new restoration will last for many years to come.
When you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge offers a durable and seamless solution to fill the gap by utilizing those surrounding crowned teeth as anchors for the replacement tooth. Beyond just the cosmetic benefit, replacing a missing tooth is vital for your long-term oral health, as it prevents your remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment and protects your jaw structure from changes that can make eating or speaking difficult. Our custom bridges are engineered from strong, high-quality materials like porcelain, alloys, or gold to match your natural smile perfectly. If you are ready to restore the strength and confidence of your smile, we encourage you to call our office today to schedule a personalized consultation!

The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Crowns are used to renew the appearance and function of a tooth. Crowns are not limited to just replacing the original tooth, but can be designed to create an even better aesthetic appearance. A dental crown is an incredibly versatile solution, frequently used to:
Protect & Strengthen
Shield a weakened tooth from breaking or securely hold together the pieces of a cracked tooth.
Restore Shape & Function
Dental crowns can help save an already broken or severely worn-down tooth, bringing the tooth back to its original, healthy size so you can chew and speak with ease.
Support Large Restorations
Safely cover and reinforce a tooth that has a very large filling when there isn't much natural enamel left.
Complete Advanced Care
Serve as the final, beautiful touch following root canal therapy, provide the custom restoration for a dental implant, or act as a sturdy anchor to hold a dental bridge in place.
Enhance Aesthetics
Seamlessly masks stained, misshapen, or discolored teeth that aren't responding to traditional treatment.
A Permanent, Reliable Fit
Unlike removable appliances, dental crowns are permanently bonded directly to your tooth, meaning they won't slip, click, or shift when you are talking or enjoying your favorite foods.

What to Expect
Your Journey to a New Crown
At Bay Area Dental, our custom crowns are crafted from high-quality, durable porcelain to ensure your new tooth is both incredibly strong and beautifully matched to your natural smile. The entire transformation is completely comfortable and is completed in just two relaxed office visits.
- Your First Visit: After taking detailed digital X-rays to ensure the tooth's root is healthy, we will gently numb the area and shape the tooth to make precise room for your new restoration.

This digital model is sent directly to our custom dental lab, and we place a comfortable temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent one is being masterfully crafted.
- Your Second Visit: Once your custom crown arrives, we will remove the temporary and meticulously check the fit, bite, and color match of your permanent crown. After ensuring it looks and feels absolutely perfect, we will securely cement it into place, fully restoring your smile's strength!
Caring for your new crown is as simple as caring for your natural teeth. With routine brushing, daily flossing, and your regular cleanings in our welcoming office, your beautiful new restoration will last for many years to come!

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. A tooth or teeth neighboring the missing tooth or teeth may be crowned and used as anchoring teeth to support the replacement tooth. It is important to replace missing teeth to avoid the shifting of surrounding teeth, which may lead to a misaligned bite, TMJ, and other problems.
Dental bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color and overall appearance. Just like our crowns, these are designed using highly accurate digital scanning to guarantee a perfect, comfortable fit. They are made from mixtures of gold, metal, alloys or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. With appropriate at-home and professional care, your dental bridges may last for years. Besides the aesthetic disadvantage of missing a tooth, if left untreated, structural changes to your mouth and jaw may occur, making it difficult to eat and speak properly.
