Crowns and Bridges in Poway

Crowns And Bridges In Poway

A crown covers a damaged tooth to restore shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent crowned teeth. Both options stop further wear, reduce sensitivity, and help maintain jaw alignment. We’ll review your oral health and recommend the option that preserves as much natural tooth as possible while addressing how you eat and smile.

How Crowns And Bridges Work

Treatment starts with an exam and x-rays to check roots and the jawbone. For a crown, we remove damaged enamel, shape the tooth, take impressions, and place a temporary crown. For a bridge, we prepare the support teeth, take impressions, and fit a temporary appliance while your final bridge is made.

• Exam, x-rays, and treatment plan
• Tooth shaping and impressions
• Temporary fitting followed by final placement

We use materials that match tooth color and withstand daily chewing. You’ll leave with a plan and timelines that fit your schedule.

Benefits For Everyday Life

Crowns and bridges do more than look better. They restore chewing function, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and protect teeth that already have large fillings or cracks. Patients report easier eating, less sensitivity, and more confidence when speaking and smiling.

• Improved chewing and speech
• Protection against further decay or fracture
• A natural appearance that blends with your smile

If you grind teeth at night, we’ll discuss how to protect your investment with a mouthguard.

Who Is A Good Candidate?

Adults with large fillings, root canal-treated teeth, cracked teeth, or gaps from missing teeth often benefit from crowns and bridges. We evaluate gum health, bone support, and overall oral hygiene before recommending treatment. If you have health conditions or take medications, we tailor the approach and coordinate care with your medical providers when needed.

• Frequent tooth sensitivity or pain
• Noticeable chipping or a missing tooth
• Difficulty chewing on one side

We explain alternatives like inlays, onlays, or implants when they make more sense for long-term oral health.
