Dental Crowns: Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Smile
Dental Crowns: Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Smile
A dental crown, also known as a “cap,” is an aesthetic and functional covering placed over a tooth or implant to provide protection, strength, and improved appearance.
Crowns are most commonly used when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth, but they also play a vital role in restoring the shape and size of chipped or damaged teeth.
Crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth and are bonded to the tooth using durable dental cement.
Dental crowns not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also provide long-lasting protection, making them a crucial part of restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Why Would You Need a Dental Crown?
You might require a dental crown for any of the following reasons:
- To cover discolored or misshapen teeth: Dental crowns provide an excellent solution for teeth that are visibly stained or misshapen, offering a long-term fix that restores both form and function.
- To support a tooth with a large filling: If your tooth has been compromised due to decay or damage, a crown can strengthen the tooth and protect it from further deterioration.
- To cover a dental implant: Crowns are used to cover and complete the placement of dental implants, offering a natural look and feel.
- To restore a worn-out, cracked, or broken tooth: Crowns help to restore strength to teeth that have been weakened by wear or injury, ensuring they function properly and remain durable.
- To support teeth after root canal treatment: After a root canal, the tooth may become brittle. Crowns can protect the tooth from fractures.
Dental Bridges: Bridging the Gap to a Complete Smile
Dental bridges are a long-term solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, filling gaps left by tooth loss. These prosthetic teeth are anchored to adjacent healthy teeth using dental cement, resin, or metal bands. Dental bridges not only restore the appearance of a full smile but also help maintain the natural shape of your face, prevent teeth from shifting out of place, and improve your ability to chew and speak effectively.
When Do You Need a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge may be recommended if you have missing teeth and want to restore your smile while maintaining proper bite alignment. It is an excellent alternative for those who prefer not to get dental implants. Bridges are essential for:
- Filling the gaps caused by missing teeth: A bridge can prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and misalignment.
- Restoring chewing and speaking abilities: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly or pronounce certain words. A dental bridge can restore these essential functions.
- Maintaining facial structure: Missing teeth can cause a sunken appearance in the face. Bridges help support the natural shape of your jawline and face.
Cost and Considerations for Dental Crowns and Bridges
The cost of dental crowns and bridges can vary based on several factors, including the materials used, the number of teeth being treated, and the complexity of the procedure. While porcelain crowns and zirconia crowns are often more expensive due to their high-quality aesthetic appeal and durability, gold and semi-precious crowns may offer more affordable alternatives for certain cases.
For dental bridges, the cost depends on the type of bridge selected (fixed, cantilever, or resin-bonded) and the materials used in its construction. Your dentist will provide you with a detailed treatment plan that outlines the cost, as well as payment and financing options to suit your budget.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges
- Restored Appearance and Function: Both crowns and bridges restore the natural look and function of your teeth, allowing you to smile, eat, and speak confidently.
- Durability: High-quality dental crowns and bridges are designed to last many years with proper care.
- Prevent Shifting: Dental bridges help maintain proper alignment by preventing adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Crowns protect damaged teeth from further decay, while bridges fill in spaces to promote better oral hygiene.

What are they saying about us…
Our Ocean Dental team is dedicated to helping you have the best possible experience.
After 50 years of being too terrified to go to a dentist (talk about phobia!), I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with Ocean Dentistry Co. On the phone, Carolyn was kind, reassuring, and very patient with my numerous questions. Dental hygienist Amanda and dental assistant Bree were gentle and knowledgeable. I was shocked at the improvement in my teeth’s appearance when they finished.
Amanda explained everything step by step and ensured my comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Emily could not have been more understanding and gentle. She explained everything thoroughly and did not rebuke me for my years of neglecting dental health. As a senior citizen with no dental insurance, I worried about the expense, but another Amanda was very patient in advising me of different financial options. The cost was not as much as I feared. Thank you to everyone at Ocean Dental Co! I never expected to leave a dental office smiling.
6/18/25. I had my 2nd visit today and had another positive experience. Dental hygienist Amanda again exceeded my expectations. Dental assistant Dana was patient and friendly. They both did everything possible to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. When I checked out, Kathryn was pleasant & competent in explaining my bill & referral to a specialist. I could not recommend this practice more highly.
