Don’t wait until next year to take care of the crown or bridge you’ve been putting off — finishing now protects your smile and your coverage
When life gets busy, it’s easy to put off dental work — especially if it isn’t causing pain yet. But if you’ve been told you need a crown, bridge, or other restoration, the end of the year is actually one of the best times to take care of it.
At Atascadero Hills Dental, our team helps patients complete these treatments quickly and comfortably — often in just 2–3 visits. And the results? Strong, healthy teeth that look as good as they feel.
Dental Crowns
A crown restores strength and beauty to a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or has had a large filling or root canal. Each crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth, so your smile looks seamless — and it’s typically covered by insurance when it’s protecting a damaged tooth. In some cases, we can even design and place your crown in a single visit using modern digital technology.
Dental Bridges
If you’re missing a tooth that shows when you smile, a bridge is a reliable, long-lasting option. Bridges not only restore the look of your smile but also help maintain bite alignment and prevent shifting of nearby teeth. They’re usually completed in 2–3 appointments and are covered by most insurance plans when replacing a missing tooth.
Root Canal + Crown: A Team Effort
If a tooth is infected or badly decayed, a root canal can save it — and finishing with a crown restores both function and appearance. This two-step process can typically be completed within two to three weeks, leaving you with a comfortable, natural-looking result that’s fully covered under restorative benefits.
Why It’s Worth Doing Now
Starting these treatments before the year ends means you can use your current insurance benefits — and enter the new year with a strong, confident smile. Our team will help you plan your appointments so your new crown or bridge is ready before your benefits reset.
