Dr. Araldi and our team specialize in conservative, patient-focused care—combining advanced techniques with personalized attention to ensure comfort and satisfaction every step of the way.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting the remaining natural structure.

Crowns are commonly recommended when:

  • A tooth is fractured or severely worn down
  • There’s too little healthy structure remaining after a large filling
  • A tooth has undergone a root canal
  • A dental implant or bridge needs support
  • A tooth is discolored, misshapen, or cosmetically unappealing

At our Saratoga dental office, we use high-quality materials—including tooth-colored ceramic—for a seamless look, especially in visible areas like the front teeth. For back teeth where strength is critical, we may recommend zirconia, metal-ceramic blends, or gold crowns for superior durability.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Crowns do more than restore appearance—they play a vital role in your long-term oral health:

  • Protect teeth from further decay or fracture
  • Relieve sensitivity to heat and cold
  • Restore chewing ability and comfort
  • Maintain proper bite alignment and jaw joint health
  • Enhance your smile’s overall appearance

If you’re experiencing pain, sensitivity, or visible damage, a dental crown from your Saratoga dentist may be the perfect solution.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored to natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. These anchoring teeth are fitted with crowns to support the structure and restore your bite.

Bridges are ideal for patients who:

  • Are missing a single tooth or a row of consecutive teeth
  • Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap
  • Want a fixed, long-lasting alternative to partial dentures
  • Aren’t candidates for or prefer not to pursue dental implants

In some cases, implant-supported bridges may be recommended for enhanced stability and durability, particularly when supporting teeth aren’t strong enough.

Crowns, Bridges, and Dental Implants

When a natural tooth cannot be saved due to severe decay or gum disease, a dental implant with a crown offers a permanent and natural-feeling replacement. An implant crown is securely placed over a titanium post that functions like a tooth root, offering unmatched stability and longevity.

During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Araldi will assess whether a crown, bridge, or implant is best for your individual needs.
