Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental Caps in Clairemont Mesa, California

Dental Crowns and Bridges in San Diego, CA - Clairemont Mesa Dental CenterA dental crown, sometimes nicknamed a “cap,” is a way to fix a cavity that is too big for an ordinary filling to fix. They are also used for cracks or fractures in places that a filling can’t fit inside of.

Signs you may need a crown:

  • There are crack lines in your tooth
  • Your tooth is completely or partially broken
  • Your tooth has a very large filling that has started to break down
  • You have had a recent Root Canal Therapy performed on a tooth.

Tooth Bridges

Bridges are a way to replace missing teeth by connecting teeth in front and behind the missing tooth together. A bridge is one of three ways to replace missing teeth, including dental implants and partial dentures. Ask Dr. Ali which option works best for you at your appointment.

A fractured tooth left untreated can break below the gums and need to be pulled. For this patient, we had old silver fillings with big cavities and cracks underneath that needed to be replaced. By removing the metal in their mouth and giving them all porcelain crowns, the quality of their smile was improved while also taking care of their health at the same time.

What Our Patients Say

“I know it’s somewhat cliched to admit, but I grew up with a fear of going to the dentist. I never really outgrew that, and as an adult that fear got compounded with the added responsibility of having to pay for it. While I’m not completely over it, I can say that my experience at the Clairemont Dental Center has helped abate those feelings of negativity. Dr. Ali took his time explaining to me the whats and the whys of what he was doing and really made an effort to make me feel comfortable. He understood where I was coming from and didn’t recommend any unnecessary procedures. I can’t recommend this place enough.” - Hans L.
