Crowns & Bridges

Restoring damaged or missing teeth with strength, comfort, and natural aesthetics

Reviewed by Dr Farah Bennett, DDS

Protect, Restore, and Rebuild

Full-coverage ceramic or zirconia crowns are indicated for teeth structurally compromised by large restorations, fractures, extensive decay, or root canal treatment. Preparation design aims to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as is consistent with adequate support for the restoration.

Fixed bridges replace one or more missing teeth using adjacent natural teeth as abutments. All crown and bridge restorations are designed within the patient's occlusal scheme to ensure balanced functional load distribution and aesthetic integration with the existing dentition.

Material selection — including full-contour zirconia, layered zirconia, or lithium disilicate — is determined by the functional demands of the site and the aesthetic requirements of the case.

Aloha Dental Group provides dental crowns and bridges in San Mateo for patients from San Mateo, Burlingame, Hillsborough, Belmont, and nearby Peninsula communities.

Restorations Planned Around Your Bite

Crowns and bridges are not just cosmetic restorations. They must withstand daily bite forces, protect the remaining tooth structure, and integrate with the broader occlusal plan. That is why restorative treatment at Aloha Dental Group is planned with attention to both appearance and function.

Restoration Goals

  1. 01Structural Protection — crowns help protect cracked, weakened, or heavily restored teeth from further breakdown.
  2. 02Natural Aesthetics — ceramic and zirconia restorations can be designed to blend with surrounding teeth.
  3. 03Bite Integration — restorations are designed to support balanced function and long-term comfort.

Common questions

A crown covers and protects a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by using neighboring teeth as supports for a fixed restoration.

A crown may be recommended when a tooth has extensive decay, a fracture, a large existing filling, root canal treatment, or significant structural weakness that cannot be predictably restored with a filling alone.

Modern ceramic, zirconia, and lithium disilicate materials can be shaped and shaded to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. Material selection depends on bite forces, tooth position, aesthetic goals, and the functional demands of the case.

Crowns and bridges need to fit into the patient’s overall bite. At Aloha Dental Group, restorative treatment is planned with attention to occlusal forces so the final restoration supports comfort, function, and long-term stability.
