Dental Crowns & Bridges
Crown Dentistry is dedicated to creating beautiful smiles that last a lifetime. Our Sacramento, CA office is led by Dr. Chan. He is a skilled and compassionate dentist who specializes in Crowns & Bridges.
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are made-to-measure caps that cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their shape, size, and strength. These crowns are a great solution to weakened, cracked or severely decayed teeth. Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. They provide a natural-looking look that blends seamlessly into your existing teeth.
Dental Crowns Types
Crown Dentistry offers a variety of dental crowns that will meet your needs and preferences.
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns have a natural look and can be matched to the color of teeth. They are a great option for front teeth restoration.
- Ceramic Crowns: These crowns are available in a variety of colors and can be used for front or back teeth.
- Metal Crowns: These metal crowns are made from gold alloys or other metals. They are extremely durable and resistant to wear, making them ideal for the back teeth, where chewing force is most intense.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: Combining the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, PFM crowns are a versatile option for many patients.
What is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. The bridge is made up of artificial teeth (pontics), which are attached to natural teeth on either side of the gap by means of dental crowns. Bridges can not only improve your smile, but also your facial shape, your ability to speak and chew, and even prevent your remaining teeth from moving out of place.
Types Dental Bridges
Crown Dentistry offers a variety of dental bridges that will suit your needs.
- Traditional Bridges: This is the most common bridge type. It involves creating a crown on either side of a missing tooth. A pontic is placed in the middle.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used only when adjacent teeth are on one side of the missing teeth.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges: Also called resin-bonded bridges or metal-bonded bridges. These bridges are made with a porcelain or metal framework that is bonded directly to the adjacent teeth. This requires less preparation on the natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges These bridges are supported by dental implants, instead of natural teeth. They provide excellent stability and long-lasting solutions for multiple missing teeth.

Why Choose Crown Dentistry for Crowns and Bridges?
Good Dental Hygiene
Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for the long-term longevity of crowns and bridges. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss every day to remove plaque from your teeth and the area around your restorations. Consider using antibacterial mouthwashes to reduce the chance of infection and maintain a clean mouth.
Regular Checkups
It is important to have regular dental checks to ensure that your crowns and/or bridges remain in good condition. Dr. Chan checks for signs of wear, damage, or decay at your regular visits. He will also provide professional cleanings to maintain your dental health
Avoid Sticky and Hard Foods
Crowns and Bridges can be damaged even though they are very durable. This is because of the sticky or hard foods that you eat. Avoid biting on hard candies or ice. Also, avoid using your teeth to open the packaging. Sticky foods such as caramel and taffy may also cause damage to your teeth.
Wear a Mouthguard
You can protect crowns and bridges if you wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports. Dr. Chan will provide you with a mouthguard that is custom-fitted to your teeth for maximum comfort and protection.
Healthy Diet
A balanced diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is important for oral health. Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D-rich foods can strengthen your teeth, which will support your restorations. Avoid sugary drinks and snacks to lower the risk of decay near crowns and bridges
