Dental Crowns and Bridges in Sunnyvale, CA

man running outside | dental crowns sunnyvale caIf your teeth are decayed, broken, worn, or missing, Dr. Neri Lubomirsky and Dr. Donald Call offer high-quality all-porcelain crowns and bridges at our Sunnyvale, CA, dental office. We use premium dental materials and work with only the most reliable custom dental labs to create tooth restorations that are strong, durable, and designed to look like a real tooth.  

Why We Recommend Dental Crowns in Sunnyvale

Dental crowns in Sunnyvale are also referred to as "caps" because they cover and protect a tooth like a little helmet. Our dentists would recommend a crown for additional strength when a tooth is so compromised that a filling isn't sufficient to protect its structure. Some examples are:

  • Restore a tooth with significant decay 
  • Support a broken or cracked tooth
  • Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment

If you need tooth restoration, the first step is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Neri or Dr. Call, who will evaluate your needs. They will perform an exam, take x-rays, and use an intraoral camera to get a magnified view of the tooth that they then share with you. We like keeping our patients informed, and using intraoral cameras allows you to see what our dentist sees to help you understand why they recommend treatment. 

Steps for Getting a Dental Crown

Getting a dental crown in Sunnyvale takes place over two visits to Spruce Dental. At the first visit, we alter the shape and size of the tooth so the crown will fit perfectly, then take dental impressions. 

We then help you select the ideal white shade for the restoration to ensure that it looks natural and matches your surrounding teeth. We use all-porcelain for our crowns because it is durable and stands up beautifully to normal use. Porcelain also has a translucent appearance similar to natural tooth enamel, and its smooth surface is resistant to staining. 

You deserve the best, and we work exclusively with the top custom dental labs in our area. Skilled technicians fabricate your crown to our specifications, which takes two to three weeks. When it’s ready, we’ll have you return to our Sunnyvale, CA, dental office, where we’ll adjust your final crown for a perfect fit, polish it, and cement it securely to the tooth. 

Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

If you are living with gaps in your smile due to missing teeth or the discomfort of damaged or broken teeth that don’t function well, you know the toll it can take on your daily life. Dental crowns and bridges offer numerous benefits and can get you back to smiling confidently in no time.

Restored Function

Crowns and bridges help restore the full function of your teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and bite comfortably again. By replacing missing or damaged teeth, these restorations improve your ability to enjoy everyday activities without discomfort, while also protecting surrounding teeth from shifting or wear.

Enhanced Appearance

Crowns and bridges blend seamlessly with natural teeth, giving you a more attractive and complete smile. Whether repairing a damaged tooth or filling the gap from a missing one, we design these restorations to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, boosting your confidence and appearance.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, crowns and bridges offer durable, long-lasting results. Made from strong materials like porcelain or zirconia, these restorations are built to withstand daily wear and tear for many years. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene ensure your crown or bridge remains in excellent condition

Frequently Asked Questions

The average lifespan of dental crowns is five to 15 years. However, the better you care for your teeth and gums, the longer they will last. Practicing good oral hygiene and dental health habits is vital to maintaining the condition of your dental crowns and overall smile.dental team smiling | dental crowns sunnyvale ca

How to Make Your Dental Crowns Last 

Do you have dental crowns but aren’t sure how to best care for them? Dr. Neri Lubomirsky and Dr. Donald Call recommend the following to avoid premature replacement for your dental crowns:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth’s surfaces. Brushing helps remove cavity-causing bacteria. 
  • Floss once daily to clean along the gumline and between teeth. Flossing also helps keep your gum strong and firm, and it helps prevent gum disease. 
  • Wear a nightguard if you have a bruxism habit. Bruxism is when you grind and clench your teeth, leading to dental wear and damage. Teeth or crowns can even break, chip, or fracture due to bruxism. 
  • Wear a protective mouthguard if you participate in sports or athletic activities that can put you at risk of injuries to the mouth or face. 
  • Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages, uncork or untwist bottles, or bite your nails. 
  • Visit your dentist for routine dental exams and cleanings so they can help keep your smile (and crowns!) healthy and beautiful. 

Do You Need Dental Crowns in Sunnyvale?

If you have a broken, weak, or misshapen tooth, a dental crown from Spruce Dental may be the solution you’re looking for. Call your dentist in Sunnyvale for dental crowns! 

With so much dental terminology, it can be very confusing when your dentist discusses treatment options with you. At Spruce Dental, we pride ourselves on taking the necessary time to explain any potential solutions thoroughly.

Two treatment options you may have heard of are dental crowns and dental bridges, but what’s the difference between the two?

What Is a Dental Crown in Sunnyvale?

We use a dental crown to cover or “cap” a tooth when it has been damaged, broken, or has undergone root canal therapy. A dental crown in Sunnyvale restores and protects your natural tooth from further decay or damage, and it looks like your real tooth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is different in that it uses prosthetic teeth to “bridge the gap” where you are missing teeth. A dental bridge is anchored to your adjacent teeth for support. Your dentist may place dental crowns on your anchor teeth for additional support.

Do You Need a Dental Bridge in Sunnyvale?

If you would like more information about dental bridges or dental crowns in Sunnyvale, contact the team at Spruce Dental. We can answer your questions and help you form a treatment plan that works for your dental needs. You can reach us by calling (408) 736-6588

It's more than just replacing a tooth; it's about reclaiming the freedom to speak, eat, and smile without hesitation.

With a dental bridge, you’re not just fixing your smile, you’re reconnecting with the life and joy you deserve. Because when you smile, the world smiles with you.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge in Sunnyvale is a tooth replacement option that uses dental crowns to support prosthetic teeth and restore your smile’s beauty and function.

We can replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth with a dental bridge. We place dental crowns on each side and attach the bridge to the crowns for additional support.

Once your bridge is in place, no one will know you have artificial teeth. We’ll match your bridge to your natural teeth to achieve a seamless look.

Replace a Missing Tooth with a Dental Bridge in Sunnyvale

clsoe up of dental bridge | sunnyvale ca dentistDental bridges are a time-tested tooth replacement that restores function and appearance to your smile after tooth loss. We design bridges with an artificial tooth that sits in the missing tooth space and attach it to dental crowns anchored to healthy teeth on either side. 

If the anchor teeth are not strong enough to support the bridge, our dentists might recommend a dental implant, which is a standalone tooth replacement. 

The steps for getting a dental bridge in Sunnyvale are similar to a crown and require two appointments. At the first appointment, we prepare the teeth, and at the second, we place the final bridge on your teeth.
