Crowns and Bridges

Damaged, weakened, or missing teeth can affect more than your smile's appearance. They can also impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper oral health. At Beachside Dental, dental crowns and bridges offer reliable, natural-looking solutions to restore both function and aesthetics, helping patients regain confidence in their smiles.

What Are Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that completely cover a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials, crowns are designed to restore the tooth's strength, shape, size, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.

Crowns are often recommended for teeth affected by extensive decay, fractures, large fillings, or following root canal treatment. Once bonded into place, a crown functions much like a natural tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Benefits of dental crowns include:

• Long-lasting, durable restorations
• Natural-looking appearance
• Protection for weakened teeth
• Improved function and comfort
• Enhanced smile aesthetics

What Are Bridges?

Dental bridges are restorative appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth. A traditional bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth secured in place by dental crowns attached to neighboring teeth or implants.

By filling gaps in the smile, bridges help restore chewing ability, maintain proper tooth alignment, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. Every bridge is custom-designed to match your natural teeth for a seamless and comfortable fit.

Dental bridges may be a good option for patients who:

• Have one or more missing teeth
• Have healthy neighboring teeth for support
• Want a fixed, non-removable restoration
• Are looking to restore smile function and appearance
