Crowns & Bridges
Dental Crown
A dental crown, or cap, is a restorative solution designed to cover and protect a damaged, decayed, or cosmetically imperfect tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. Crowns are often used when a significant portion of the tooth’s natural structure is compromised. Unlike veneers, which cover only the front, a crown envelops the entire visible part of the tooth down to the gumline.
Once placed, your tooth will regain full function. Our dentist custom designs crowns to not only protect but also enhance your tooth's natural beauty, using all-porcelain options that blend seamlessly with your smile. We also offer other materials, and we’ll guide you in selecting the best option for your specific needs.

First Visit:
Our dentist will numb the area with local anesthetic, with sedation available if needed. He will then prepare the tooth by reshaping it or building it up if necessary. Digital impressions are taken for designing your crown, and a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.Second Visit:
At the next appointment, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and fit the permanent one, making any necessary adjustments to ensure the best fit and appearance.First Visit:
Our dentist will prepare the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth by numbing the area and shaping the abutment teeth to fit the crowns. Digital impressions are then taken to create a custom dental bridge, and a temporary bridge is placed to protect the area.Second Visit:
The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is fitted and adjusted. After ensuring a proper fit with digital X-rays, our dentist will cement the bridge in place, making any necessary adjustments for comfort and aesthetics.A dental crown is essential for restoring a tooth’s function, strength, and appearance, especially when much of its natural structure is compromised.

-
Restore or protect a cracked or fractured tooth.
-
Cover a tooth with significant decay or a large filling.
-
Protect a tooth after root canal therapy.

A dental bridge is an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a comfortable alternative to removable prosthetics for those who may not prefer a dental implant. By filling the gap left by a missing tooth, a bridge prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite issues, jaw discomfort, and a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. A dental bridge helps maintain the alignment and health of your existing teeth, allowing you to chew and smile confidently.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge offers a sophisticated, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing a missing tooth, far superior to removable prosthetics. Typically, it consists of three crowns: two on the adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) that anchor the middle crown (pontic), which fills the gap left by the missing tooth.
For those with multiple missing teeth, Dr. Reza Entezarion can customize the bridge by adding additional crowns, ensuring a seamless fit. Depending on the location and number of missing teeth, extra abutment teeth may be necessary. Dr. Entezarion will design a bridge tailored specifically to your needs, providing both function and beauty.
