Damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more difficult and they can affect your confidence, too. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing compromised teeth while helping restore comfortable function and a natural-looking smile.
Dental crowns offer restorative solutions for protecting weakened teeth.
Dental bridges offer restorative solutions for replacing certain missing teeth.
Your treatment is planned around the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health.
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns may be considered when a tooth has extensive decay, a significant crack, or has been treated with a root canal and needs additional protection.
The process typically involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression or digital scan, and creating a restoration designed to fit your bite and surrounding teeth. A temporary crown may be used while the permanent restoration is being fabricated.
Modern crown materials can be selected to provide both durability and a natural-looking appearance.

A dental bridge can replace one or more adjacent missing teeth by using supporting teeth or other appropriate structures to hold the replacement tooth in position. The replacement portion, called a pontic, fills the visible gap in your smile.
Replacing a missing tooth can help restore chewing function and prevent neighboring teeth from drifting into the open space. Dr. Arora will evaluate your oral health to determine whether a bridge is an appropriate option for you.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, restorations can provide long-term service. Depending on your situation, crowns and bridges may help:
Restore damaged or missing teeth
Improve chewing and speaking
Protect weakened tooth structure
Improve the appearance of your smile
Restore a more balanced bite
Replace selected missing teeth without leaving an open space
