Dental Crowns and Bridges

Custom Restorations to Protect and Replace Teeth

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

At Dentistry of Upland, we use crowns and bridges to restore strength, function, and beauty to your smile. Whether you need to protect a damaged tooth or replace one that’s missing, these restorations are custom-made for natural-looking and long-lasting results.


A crown is a protective “cap” placed over a weakened or damaged tooth. It restores strength, shape, and appearance while preventing further damage. Crowns can also cover dental implants, support bridges, or enhance teeth that are discolored or misshapen.


A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to nearby natural teeth or implants. Bridges restore chewing and speaking ability, fill gaps in your smile, and help prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

Dental Crown and Bridge Treatment

At Dentistry of Upland, crown and bridge treatments are designed to be precise, comfortable, and built to last. We use advanced techniques and durable materials to create restorations that both look and feel natural. What to expect during treatment:


  • Tooth Preparation – The affected tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown or support for the bridge.
  • Digital Scans or Impressions – Accurate models are taken to create your custom restoration.
  • Temporary Placement – A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your permanent restoration is being crafted.
  • Final Placement – Your custom restoration is securely bonded for long-term strength and comfort.


With proper care, including daily brushing and flossing, avoiding very hard or sticky foods, and scheduling regular checkups, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
