Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Smile
Damaged or missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, we provide custom crowns and bridges in San Juan Capistrano, CA to restore both the health and appearance of your smile.
Crowns and bridges are durable, natural-looking restorations designed to strengthen compromised teeth and replace missing teeth while maintaining proper alignment and bite function.
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth.
Crowns and bridges may be recommended to:
- Restore a cracked or broken tooth
- Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
- Strengthen a tooth with a large filling
- Replace one or more missing teeth
- Improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth
The Crowns & Bridges Process
The process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the best restorative solution for your needs. For crowns, the affected tooth is carefully reshaped to create space for the restoration. For bridges, the supporting teeth are prepared to anchor the restoration securely.
Impressions are taken and sent to a dental laboratory where your custom crown or bridge is crafted. Once ready, the restoration is placed, adjusted for comfort and fit, and permanently secured.
Each treatment is customized to ensure long-term durability, comfort, and natural aesthetics.
