Crowns & Bridges

Restoring damaged and missing teeth so your smile looks and works like it should.

Crowns & Bridges
Overview

About Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or heavily treated tooth, restoring its natural shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the healthy teeth on either side. Together, these restorations rebuild both the function and the look of your smile.

These treatments matter for more than appearance. A tooth that is cracked or worn can become more vulnerable over time, and a gap left by a missing tooth can affect chewing, bite alignment, and the neighboring teeth. Crowns and bridges help protect what remains and keep your bite working comfortably.

Dr. Yesina takes a careful, individualized approach to restorative care, starting with a full evaluation of your dental health and your goals. Each restoration is designed to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, with attention to both durability and appearance.

Benefits

Restored strength

A crown reinforces a weakened tooth so you can bite and chew with confidence again.

Fills the gap

A bridge replaces missing teeth and helps keep neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.

Natural appearance

Restorations are shaped and shaded to blend in with your surrounding teeth.

Protects oral health

Rebuilding damaged or missing teeth supports a balanced bite and easier day-to-day care.

What to expect

  1. 1

    Evaluation and planning

    Your visit begins with an exam, and often imaging, to assess the tooth and plan the right restoration for you.

  2. 2

    Preparing the tooth

    The tooth is gently shaped, or the teeth beside a gap are prepared, and an impression or scan is taken so your restoration fits precisely.

  3. 3

    Fitting your restoration

    Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, it is checked for fit, comfort, and bite, then secured in place.

  4. 4

    Aftercare

    With regular brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, crowns and bridges can last for many years.

Frequently asked questions

Is getting a crown or bridge painful?+
The procedure is typically done with local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually settles within a few days.
How long do crowns and bridges last?+
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, they often last many years. Their lifespan depends on the material, your bite, and how well the restoration is cared for.
How do I care for a crown or bridge?+
Care for them much like your natural teeth: brush and floss daily, keep up with routine cleanings, and avoid chewing very hard objects. Cleaning around and under a bridge helps keep the supporting teeth and gums healthy.
