Dental Crowns & Bridges in West LA

Restore a damaged tooth or explore a fixed replacement for a missing tooth. At Alchemy Dental in West Los Angeles, I plan crowns and bridges around function, appearance, and the health of supporting teeth.

When should you consider crowns or bridges?

  • ✓ A tooth with extensive damage

  • ✓ A large filling that no longer supports the tooth

  • ✓ A broken or weakened tooth

  • ✓ A missing tooth or several adjacent teeth

  • ✓ An existing crown or bridge needing evaluation

  • ✓ Difficulty chewing on a damaged area

An examination is needed to determine which options suit your situation.

My approach to your care

DR. SYRUS’S PERSPECTIVE

I want you to understand why coverage or replacement is being recommended. I’ll discuss the condition of the tooth, the support available, and alternatives before planning treatment.

Dr. Syrus Elicus · Alchemy Dental

Your crown or bridge appointments

I begin with an examination of the tooth, supporting structures, and bite. I explain whether a crown, bridge, or a more conservative option is suitable and discuss materials before treatment. Scans or impressions guide the custom restoration. When a temporary restoration is needed, I explain how to care for it until the final crown or bridge is fitted and the bite is checked.

Cost and treatment planning

Your fee depends on the findings, the procedure, and any additional care needed. I’ll provide a personalized estimate before treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers a tooth. A bridge replaces missing teeth and is supported by teeth or implants, depending on the plan.

Are there alternatives to a crown or bridge?

Depending on the tooth, an onlay, implant, removable replacement, or monitoring may be discussed.

What are the benefits of a custom restoration?

The design is planned for the shape of your teeth, the space available, and your bite.

How do I clean a bridge?

I’ll show you how to clean around its supports and beneath the replacement tooth.
