Crowns
what are crowns and bridgework?
Also called a bridge, crowns and bridgework replace one tooth or a few teeth in a row. Bridges are fixed, non-removable appliances.
How We Can Help
A bridge consists of one or more replacement teeth with crowns attached to the ends. The crowns fit onto natural, healthy teeth to secure the bridge in place.
Bridges restore a complete smile and all the related benefits of aesthetics and function. Bridges may also be retained by dental implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
A dental crown is typically recommended to protect a weak tooth, restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth, support a dental bridge, cover a dental implant, or improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of materials. The choice depends on factors such as the tooth’s location, function, and aesthetic considerations.
The process of getting a dental crown is typically painless, as the tooth is numbed before any work is done. However, some patients may experience temporary sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days.
To maintain the longevity of your dental crown, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to the crown.
Yes, over time, a dental crown may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, or if there are signs of damage or decay underneath the crown. Our dentist will assess the condition of the crown during regular dental visits and recommend replacement if necessary.

Going to the dentist after 15 years may seem like a daunting task. However, going to smiles dentistry I was pleasantly surprised from my experience. From the first call Angie at the front desk made the process of making an appointment so effortless. Meeting Dr Nour I felt like she has been my dentist my whole life. She informed me of my dental health in a way that I did not feel embarrassed or ashamed. Joanne, the offices hygienist was also very sweet in how she was patient and informative. I will definitely my coming back for the rest of my dental we are well be recommending them to everyone I know ! Thank you Smiles dentistry #GOBOBCATS
Incredible place. Nicest dental staff ever and most quality and careful work I have experienced. More than a diamond in the ruff. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Amazing place! Invisalign is an incredible price and the staff is very accommodating. Armineil is an amazing hygienist. Would recommend to friends and family.
A diamond in the rough!! We all know the dentist is no one’s favorite place to be, but Laguna Niguel Smiles Dentistry makes going to the dentist much more desirable. Everyone from Dr. Nouri, to the front desk and the hygienists are phenomenal. Dr. Nouri is extremely informative, professional and seriously treats you like family. I just did a deep cleaning with Armineh and she was the best dental hygienist I’ve ever experienced in my 29 years of living, making my treatment a piece of cake (and I have serious anxiety). Thank you Laguna Smiles Dentistry!
I have never been to another dentist that makes me feel as comfortable as Dr. Nouri! She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to answer all of your questions. Her attention to detail is so comforting and she is always a delight to see. The rest of the staff in her office is incredibly sweet and helpful! She has truly created an amazing environment.
Dr. Nouri is incredibly knowledgeable and is very thorough in her care. She takes the time to really explain why she recommends something or why your practice should change. She listens to her patients and understands what is important to them when she advises them. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Nouri.
Dr. Nouri is truly like no other! Unlike other dentists I’ve had she really takes the time to talk with and listen to her patients. She is highly skilled and proficient at what she does along with the rest of her team! Dental hygienists Corey and Joanne, and front desk receptionist Angie are wonderful at what they do and really make going to the dentist a comfortable and pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend!
Dr Nouri and her team were fantasticGreat attention to detail and treatment planning. She walked me through every step of the treatment and I was given options for my treatment to help me decide what I think best works for me with her guidance .
I have had many dentists during my life but Dr. Nouri is extraordinary! She is direct and honest about your issues, but so warm and caring! Everyone at the office is friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful! The hygienist, Armineh, is fantastic as well. If you aren’t happy with your current Dentist or are looking for a new one, you need to book an appointment today!
My experience with Dr. Nouri and her staff was absolutely incredible. They were so sweet and welcoming the minute I came in for my consultation. She and her team were very communicative and thorough, not to mention Dr. Nouri’s attention to detail and perfectionism make her stand out from any other dentist I’ve been to! I’m so happy with my smile and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist in OC!
I am so grateful to Laguna Niguel Smiles staff and doctor. I had an emergent extraction in my smile line and they were actually closed when I had passed their office to inquire about getting work done ASAP. Angie scheduled, matched pricing and they have ensured that I did not have to be more uncomfortable or self conscious! The doctor is fast and has provided solutions to other work that majority of other dentists had not offered or had said wasnt possible. Plus out of kindness, they offered a courtesy xray for my mom who's crown needed reapplying.
Dr. Nouri is a true professional. From the minute I walked in I’ve noticed the cleanliness, top of the line equipment with latest technology, and of course her most friendly staff. Dr. Nouri went above and beyond to make sure that my new crown would match the shape and color! And she did an amazing job.I was so pleased by choosing this dentistry, they deserve a six star review, and i highly recommend it everyone.
Dr Nouri is very knowledgeable, nice, and very good at explaining the steps and performing the procedures. They have flexible hours and Angie from front desk is very responsive via text or phone.It has been a very pleasant experience thus far.
So far I have only had one visit to this office but it was after having some issues at other offices. The experience exceeded my expectations. I had a problem tooth and they saved my tooth w a filling when another office wanted to crown the tooth. This was not just a financial savings but also taking this conservative approach won over my trust to continue to seek treatment here. The entire office was professional and kind.
BOOK your appointment NOW you won’t regret it. 100% the best dentistry ever! Staff is absolutely amazing here such a wonderful group of people. I’m so happy I found this place. Feel like family every time I go in for an appointment. Laguna Niguel smiles dentistry thank you so much for everything!
Dr. Nouri and her staff are very knowledgeable and we’re able to assist me with my implant process with care and expertise. I was nervous to have this work done and they put me at ease with their kind and calming manner. The office space is very clean and they are punctual working around my schedule. I’m glad I found their office and would recommend them to anyone.
