Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dental Crowns & Bridges in Santa Ana
Restore damaged or missing teeth with natural-looking crowns and bridges at Fairview Dental.
Durable Restorations That Look and Feel Natural
Dental crowns cap and protect a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. Both are custom-crafted to match your natural tooth color and bite.
Dental Crowns
A crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, protecting it from further damage and restoring full function. Used for cracked, decayed, or root-canal-treated teeth.
Dental Bridges
A bridge spans the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored to crowns on either side. Restores your bite, prevents shifting, and improves appearance.
Implant-Supported Crowns
A crown placed on a dental implant for the most stable, natural-feeling tooth replacement available — no adjacent teeth involved.
Same-Day Consultations
Dr. Hwang offers same-day consultations for urgent crown needs, including broken or cracked teeth.

What to Expect
Exam & Preparation
Dr. Hwang examines the tooth, takes X-rays, and prepares it by reshaping to accommodate the crown.
Impressions
Digital or physical impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab to fabricate your custom restoration.
Temporary Crown
A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent restoration is being made (typically 2 weeks).
Permanent Placement
Your custom crown or bridge is checked for fit, color, and bite, then permanently cemented in place.
