Restore Your Smile With Custom Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are among the most trusted and effective restorative treatments in modern dentistry. Whether you have a cracked tooth that needs reinforcement, a tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal therapy, or one or more missing teeth that need replacement, Dr. Sheena Gaur provides custom-crafted restorations at her Kirkland, WA practice that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Every crown and bridge is individually designed and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile.\n\nAt our Kirkland office, we offer a range of premium materials to suit different needs and goals. All-ceramic crowns deliver the most lifelike aesthetics and are ideal for front teeth, while zirconia crowns provide exceptional strength for back teeth that bear heavy chewing forces. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine a durable metal substructure with a natural porcelain outer layer and have a long track record of reliability. Dr. Gaur will recommend the best material based on the tooth's location, the forces it must withstand, and your personal preferences.\n\nFor patients with missing teeth, dental bridges offer a proven solution that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Bridges anchor artificial teeth to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of position. Patients from Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, and Woodinville choose our practice for restorations that stand the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last even longer. The lifespan depends on the material used, the forces the tooth endures, your oral hygiene habits, and whether you grind your teeth. Regular checkups at our Kirkland office help us catch any issues early and extend the life of your crowns.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The crown preparation procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the appointment. Some patients experience mild sensitivity in the days following preparation, which is normal and usually resolves on its own. If you are anxious about the procedure, sedation options are available.
How long does it take to get a crown or bridge?
The process typically requires two visits over a period of two to three weeks. The first visit involves preparation and impressions, and the second visit is for placement of the permanent restoration. You wear a comfortable temporary crown or bridge between visits.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when the tooth is structurally compromised — cracked, severely decayed, or has had a root canal. A veneer covers only the front surface of the tooth and is used primarily for cosmetic improvements. Dr. Gaur will recommend the appropriate restoration based on your tooth's condition and your goals.
Can a bridge replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes. A traditional bridge can replace one to three consecutive missing teeth, depending on the strength of the anchor teeth. For longer spans of missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge may be recommended to provide adequate support. Dr. Gaur will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best approach.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Since a bridge connects to adjacent teeth, you cannot floss between the pontic and gums in the normal way. We recommend using a floss threader, interdental brush, or water flosser to clean underneath the bridge daily. Our hygiene team at the Kirkland office will demonstrate the best technique for your specific bridge.
