Protect a weakened tooth
A crown can distribute biting forces across a tooth that needs more support.
CROWNS & BRIDGES IN BAKERSFIELD
Restore strength, function and a natural appearance.
Custom crowns protect weakened teeth, while bridges can replace missing teeth and help restore a more complete bite.
RESTORATIVE DESIGN
Planned around the tooth—and the whole smile.
A crown covers and supports a tooth that is cracked, heavily restored, worn or otherwise weakened. A bridge uses supporting teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth.
We design restorations in-house, considering bite, contacts, contour and appearance before a trusted United States based milling partner fabricates the final restoration to our specifications.
WHAT WE CONSIDER
Appropriate treatment begins with the diagnosis.
The final recommendation depends on your examination, history, priorities and the rest of your oral health.

Call (661) 831-0800 →How do I know whether I need a crown or a filling?+
The decision depends on how much sound tooth remains, the location of damage and the forces the tooth must withstand. We explain the reason for the recommended level of coverage.
How long does treatment take?+
Most custom crowns and bridges require a preparation visit and a delivery visit after fabrication. Timing varies with the restoration and any treatment needed first.
Is a bridge my only option for a missing tooth?+
No. Depending on the space, supporting teeth, bone and goals, an implant or removable option may also be considered.
