A bridge takes the same principle one step further. It replaces a missing tooth by anchoring a false tooth between two crowns fitted over the healthy teeth on either side, literally bridging the gap. Like crowns, bridges are fixed restorations.
Crowns have a wide range of uses beyond cosmetics: protecting a root canal treated tooth, supporting a tooth with a large filling, restoring a dental implant, and anchoring a bridge. At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, Dr. Kim determines the most conservative approach for each case, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while restoring what's been lost.
The reliable way to protect what remains.

Are crowns or bridges right for you?
The best answer comes from a clinical exam, not a checklist. Dr. Kim will assess your tooth structure, bite, and long-term oral health before recommending any restoration.
