What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Teeth can become weakened for many reasons, including decay, fractures, large fillings, or root canal treatment. In other cases, a missing tooth may leave a visible gap that affects both appearance and bite alignment. Dental crowns and bridges are designed to restore the strength, structure, and look of your smile when this happens. A dental crown covers and protects a damaged tooth, reinforcing it from the outside, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the ones nearby. Our crowns and bridges at La Jolla Dental Wellness Center are crafted from high-quality ceramic, each one carefully shaped and colored to match the patient's natural smile. Whether you have a severely damaged or missing tooth, have recently undergone root canal treatment, or just want to improve the look of your smile, we provide restorations designed to blend durability with aesthetic appeal. Reach out to our dental center in La Jolla, CA today to learn more.
How Are Dental Crown and Bridge Treatments Performed?
Whether you're getting a crown or a bridge, the process typically takes two appointments. During your first visit, we'll perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and discuss any pain or symptoms you've been experiencing. For a dental crown, we'll start by numbing the tooth and carefully removing damaged or weakened areas before reshaping the enamel to create space for your custom restoration. For a dental bridge, we'll prepare the surrounding teeth by gently removing some of the enamel. We'll then capture detailed digital images and send them to a dental lab, where your personalized crown or bridge will be created. In the meantime, we'll place a temporary restoration. Once your ceramic crown or bridge is ready, we'll have you come back to our La Jolla, CA dental center so that we can bond it into place and adjust it for comfort.

La Jolla Dental Wellness Center Reviews
Always a great experience! I moved to sd recently and been having a hard time finding a good dentist. Everyone at this center is super nice and really takes the time to listen to every concern I have. I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dentist and team!
A medical office of excellence, where all personnel are kind as well as competent.That helped make an oral surgery experience, as pleasant as possible.
amazing staff, great place, thank you for helping me with my teeth! Dr. Kim, Cathy, and Crystal all great! Dr. Kim really listened and helped me become confident about the recommendations she was making for my teeth and I'm happy with the results.
As someone who has always struggled with anxiety at the dentist, the staff here has always put me at ease taking care of my teeth. Dr. Kim is very thorough and explains what she is doing step by step to ensure the integrity of my teeth, rather than proposing the most invasive procedure from the get-go. Crystal, the hygienist, is very meticulous during my cleanings and always offers good dental advice. Cathy, at the front desk, is extremely helpful dealing with insurance, very responsive when it comes to scheduling, and always greets you with her warm presence and a smile. I cannot recommend this dental office enough!! Another perk is that there is plenty of parking and they validate your parking ticket for you!
The best experience I have ever had the people are extremely friendly make you feel welcomed they are very careful with you and the procedure is quick and effective best in the industry100% recommend
