We take your smile to where it needs to be with quality dental crowns and bridges
Patients missing teeth in Del Mar, California, can rely on dental bridges and crowns to restore the function and appearance of their smiles. Whether you are missing one or several teeth in a row, a dental bridge or crown from I-Rise Dental can replace what you have lost. Dental bridges and crowns stabilize the surviving teeth, restore your oral function, and improve your performance for many years. Don’t let that gap deny you happiness; Dr. Anu Mohan can fix it.
How do dental bridges and crowns work?
A dental bridge is a tooth replacement composed of artificial teeth anchored by dental crowns placed on teeth on either side of the gap. In just two dental appointments we can replace your missing teeth with dental bridges and crowns. During the first visit, Dr. Mohan evaluates your dental health to rule out cavities and gum infections that may interfere with the tooth replacement.
We take your dental health seriously, so you have one less thing to worry about. The process involves numbing and prepping the area, followed by digital impression & design models to build your natural-looking dental bridges and crowns.. You will leave the office with a temporary bridge to protect and calm the teeth while the final bridge is in fabrication.
Once your dental restorations are ready, we remove the temporal restorations and install your new bridge or crown. Your new restoration may need several adjustments until it feels and looks natural. Once you get used to your restoration, you will function like you never lost teeth.
Benefits of dental bridges and crowns
For a patient without teeth, a dental crown or bridge is an ideal option to complete their smile. Dental crowns and bridges offer numerous benefits, including:
- They are aesthetically appealing
- They can last up to 15 years
- They don’t alter the way you clean your teeth
- They are versatile enough to replace front and back teeth
- They are stable — they don’t move around your mouth when eating or laughing

Frequently asked questions about crowns and bridges
Individuals who have significant damage to their teeth or lost teeth may want to ask Dr. Anu Mohan about relying on restorations such as dental crowns and bridges. Both are restorations commonly used at I-Rise Dental Boutique to restore the smiles’ function and appearance following certain dental issues. Dental crowns and bridges can stabilize surviving teeth, restore the function of the smile, and address issues that might otherwise require the removal of natural adult teeth. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about dental crowns and bridges available at our Del Mar, California, area office.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are described by Dr. Anu Mohan as tooth-shaped coverings placed to cover a damaged or decayed tooth and restore its natural shape, size, and strength, improving its appearance. They can also be used to hold a quality dental bridge in place or cover an implant. Crowns are usually made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both and may be customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
Dental crowns provide various benefits, including strengthening a weak tooth, protecting a tooth with a large filling, covering misshapen or discolored teeth, and restoring the function of a tooth after root canal treatment. They can also help prevent further damage to a cracked or decayed tooth, as well as improve speech and chewing abilities.
What are dental bridges?
Our team at I-Rise Dental Boutique describes the dental bridge as a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth using support from neighboring teeth. The false tooth between two crowns on either side is known as the “pontic” and helps bridge the gap created by missing teeth. Bridges are made from materials such as porcelain, metal, or even a combination of both and can be secured in place using dental implants.
What are the benefits of dental bridges?
Dental bridges provide various benefits, including filling gaps caused by missing teeth, restoring the natural-looking appearance of the smile, preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and improving speech and chewing abilities. Bridges can also help distribute the bite forces evenly, preventing strain on other teeth.
