What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are commonly used to:
- Protect a cracked or broken tooth
- Reinforce a tooth after a root canal
- Cover a large filling
- Improve the shape, size, or color of a tooth
- Anchor a dental bridge
At Empower Dental, we offer a variety of crown options—including all-ceramic, zirconia, and same-day CEREC crowns—so you can choose the right fit for your needs and lifestyle.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or implants. The replacement tooth fills the gap, restoring function and balance to your smile.
Bridges help:
- Restore chewing and speech
- Prevent teeth from shifting out of place
- Maintain your facial shape
- Rebuild a natural-looking, confident smile
We design traditional, implant-supported, and cantilever bridges to meet your specific needs.
Advanced Technology for Better Results
Your comfort and results are our top priorities. We use the latest tools at every step:- Digital impressions (mess-free 3D scans) for exact fit
- CAD/CAM & same-day milling for beautiful, single-visit restorations
- Laser dentistry for precise, comfortable tooth preparation
- Cone Beam CT & digital X-rays for detailed, safe treatment planning
- T-Scan digital bite analysis to ensure a balanced, comfortable bite
- Digital Smile Design to preview your smile before treatment
Am I a Candidate for a Crown or Bridge?
Crowns and bridges are two of the most common ways to restore function, protect your teeth, and bring balance back to your smile. You may be a candidate if you:
- Need protection for a cracked, broken, or weakened tooth — often after a root canal or large filling.
- Want to improve appearance by covering a misshapen or discolored tooth with a natural-looking crown.
- Have missing teeth and want a fixed solution that restores chewing, prevents shifting, and maintains facial shape.
- Prefer stability over removable dentures, choosing a bridge that anchors to healthy teeth or implants.
Our team will evaluate your oral health, goals, and lifestyle to recommend whether a crown, bridge, or even a dental implant is the best fit for you.
What Is the Cost of a Crown or Bridge?
Dental crowns and bridges are highly customized treatments, so the cost can vary depending on the materials used, the complexity of the case, and the number of teeth involved. In Southern California, you can generally expect:
- Dental Crowns Average between $900 and $2,900 per tooth, with all-ceramic and zirconia crowns on the higher end of the range.
- Dental Bridges Typically range from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the number of teeth replaced and whether the bridge is traditional or implant-supported.
Because every smile is unique, the best way to understand your specific cost is through a free consultation with our team. We’ll review your options, discuss materials, and provide a clear treatment plan.
FAQs – Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or dental implants.
With proper care, bridges typically last 5 to 15 years or more. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene can extend their lifespan.
Yes. Your bridge will be color-matched and shaped to blend naturally with your other teeth—most people won’t notice the difference.
We prepare the teeth next to the gap, take digital impressions, and custom-design your bridge. After it’s crafted, we secure it in place and adjust your bite.
Not at all. Once placed and adjusted, a bridge should feel natural and comfortable—just like your original teeth.
Yes! After a short adjustment period, you’ll be able to chew and eat most foods as usual.
No. A bridge is a permanent, non-removable restoration—unlike dentures, you don’t take it out.
Many insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of a dental bridge. We’ll help you understand your benefits.
You’ll need to brush and floss daily, including underneath the bridge using floss threaders or a water flosser to remove debris.
Implant-supported bridges or individual dental implants are good alternatives, especially for larger gaps or improved stability.
FAQs – Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
All-Ceramic crowns are highly aesthetic and metal-free. Zirconia crowns are ultra-durable and great for molars. CEREC crowns offer the convenience of same-day service.
With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer.
Yes. Our CEREC crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic and designed with digital precision.
Absolutely. We match the color and contour of your surrounding teeth to ensure a seamless blend.
We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort. Most patients feel only mild sensitivity after the procedure.
Yes. Once the crown is placed and the anesthesia wears off, you can eat and speak as usual.
Many insurance plans cover crowns when medically necessary. Our team will verify your benefits and provide clear pricing.
Call us right away. We can usually re-cement or replace it quickly.
Brush and floss daily, avoid chewing hard objects, and see your dentist for regular checkups.
