Expertly Crafted Crowns and Bridges in Pasadena, CA
At Joshua Dental, we proudly provide high-quality dental crowns and dental bridges in Pasadena, CA, to restore the strength, function and appearance of your smile. A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged, decayed or weakened tooth, designed to protect and reinforce its structure while enhancing its look. Often recommended after a root canal or when a tooth has a large filling, the dental crown procedure is a durable solution for long-term oral health.
For patients missing one or more teeth, dental bridges offer a reliable and natural-looking option. A dental bridge uses artificial teeth anchored by crowns on surrounding teeth or implants to fill the gap, improving your ability to chew and speak while preventing nearby teeth from shifting. We use high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials to ensure each restoration blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you need a single dental crown or a full dental bridge, our team is here to help you achieve a strong, confident smile.

Process
Initial Consultation: Your smile restoration starts with a comprehensive consultation, where we evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and take detailed digital impressions to design a treatment plan tailored just for you.
Tooth Preparation: For a dental crown, the tooth is gently reshaped to ensure that the crown fits securely and naturally. If you’re receiving a dental bridge, the surrounding teeth are carefully prepared to serve as anchors, creating a stable foundation for your restoration.
Impressions & Temporary Crowns/Bridges: After preparation, precise impressions are taken to craft your custom crown or bridge to match your natural smile. While the final restoration is being made, a temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth and maintain normal function until your permanent restoration is ready to be placed securely.

Next Steps
Fitting & Adjustment: When your custom dental crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment in which we’ll place the restoration with care, making sure that it fits comfortably and functions naturally. We’ll make precise adjustments as needed to ensure proper bite alignment and optimal comfort.
Permanent Placement: Once everything feels just right, your crown or bridge is permanently cemented in place, restoring the strength, appearance and function of your smile. You’ll receive clear care instructions to help maintain your restoration and extend its longevity.
Follow-up Appointments: Routine checkups are recommended to monitor your dental crown or bridge and ensure long-term success. Our team is always here for touch-ups, questions or any concerns to help you keep your smile healthy and confident.
