Dental Crowns & Bridges in Sacramento, CA

If you’re dealing with damaged, weakened, or missing teeth, dental crowns and bridges offer reliable, long-lasting solutions to restore both function and aesthetics. At East Sac Dental, we specialize in custom-designed crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and improving your oral health.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for:

• Protecting Weakened Teeth: Safeguard teeth with large fillings or those weakened by decay.
• Restoring Broken Teeth: Repair and protect cracked or fractured teeth.
• Cosmetic Enhancements: Cover discolored or misshapen teeth for a more uniform smile.
• Post-Root Canal Protection: Shield teeth after root canal therapy to prevent further damage.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help:

• Restore Function: Regain your ability to chew and speak properly.
• Prevent Shifting: Keep surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth.
• Enhance Appearance: Complete your smile with a natural-looking solution.
• Maintain Facial Structure: Preserve the shape of your face by supporting your jaw and surrounding tissues.

Types of Crowns & Bridges We Offer

• Porcelain Crowns: Known for their natural appearance, porcelain crowns are ideal for front teeth, offering a seamless blend with your smile.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns:These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain, making them a durable option for both front and back teeth.
• Zirconia Crowns:Highly durable and biocompatible, zirconia crowns are a popular choice for their strength and lifelike appearance.
• Traditional Bridges:Supported by natural teeth on either side of the gap, traditional bridges are a time-tested solution for replacing missing teeth.
