Tooth Crown and Bridges in Bakersfield

If you are looking to fill the gap of a missing tooth - a bridge or a dental crown for a missing tooth can be your solution

A dental crown (or cap) covers your entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. Dental crowns strengthen and protect your tooth structure when it cannot otherwise be restored with fillings, inlays, or on-lays. Bridges containing single or several crowns are cemented together to fill the gaps between your teeth, helping you regain your smile and oral function! Our dentist and team’s top priority is for you to be pain-free, comfortable, and pleased when receiving any procedure at Salin Dentistry.

When getting a crown for your affected tooth, we numb the area so that all you can feel is a bit of pressure. And for those who are fearful of dental procedures, we do offer several types of sedation so that you can relax through the process. Call (661) 323-1000 today to schedule your free consultation for a dental crown in Bakersfield.

Expertly Crafted Tooth Crowns and Bridges

Tooth crowns and bridges come in various types - knowing the kinds of suitable material and style of crown is essential

A dental crown is a covering of protective material that sits on top of your tooth, completely covering and giving it a new and stronger surface. If you are contemplating a crown, there will be choices to make. One of the choices will be what type of crown to get. There is a tradeoff between aesthetics and durability. Gold crowns offer the best durability but sacrifice the natural look of your teeth and are most likely found on the back molars. Porcelain crowns are the most natural-looking and are usually found on the front teeth. Porcelain crowns are also strong but need more mass to have the required strength to withstand chewing forces. These may be the best options for many patients.

Zirconium is a new type of porcelain that is a great strong and aesthetic solution for many patients. These crowns are designed with the help of CAD/CAM technology and milled robotically. Our expert dental team helps you choose the best option that aligns with aesthetics, comfort, and dental health. Dental implants may be a better solution if you consider against a tooth bridge to permanently fill your tooth gap. Our dental team is available to navigate you through the process of enhancing your smile!
