Crown & Bridge
A crown (or cap) covers and protects a damaged tooth so you can continue to smile and chew for years to come. A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. Technology has advanced to make crowns and bridges look and feel like a natural tooth. You'd be surprised how common these are among your friends, family, and coworkers.

If you have a damaged tooth or missing teeth, you don’t have to live with gaps in your smile. At Kahului Dental, we offer custom crowns and bridges to restore strength, function, and confidence.
👑 What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged tooth to restore its size, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended for:
Teeth with large cavities or fractures
Teeth that have had root canal treatment
Severely worn or weakened teeth
Cosmetic improvements (shape, size, or color)
Crowns are made from durable, natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with your smile.
🌉 What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (called “pontics”) to crowns on the neighboring teeth. Bridges help:
Restore your smile’s appearance
Improve chewing and speaking
Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place
Maintain proper bite alignment
