Restorative Care a Short Drive North of Corte Madera
If you live in Corte Madera and a tooth needs a crown or a bridge, it is an easy hop north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael, where we sit at 1099 D Street. You get the same dentist planning and placing the restoration from start to finish, so a trip to the next town up the freeway means real continuity rather than a handoff between offices.
A crown caps a tooth that is too cracked, decayed, or worn to be repaired with a filling, restoring its strength and shape while protecting what is left. A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side so your bite stays stable and your smile stays complete. Dr. Steve plans every restoration before treatment begins, capturing the right shade, shape, and bite so the result blends in and holds up.
When a Crown or Bridge Makes Sense
- A tooth that is cracked, broken, or worn down
- A large old filling that is failing, or a tooth that has had a root canal
- A missing tooth with healthy teeth standing on both sides of the gap
- Wanting comfortable chewing and a complete smile back again
How the Visit Goes
- Evaluation and planning A digital exam and X-rays confirm the right restoration and capture how your teeth come together.
- Tooth preparation With local anesthetic, the tooth is shaped and an impression is taken so the lab can build a precise fit.
- Temporary restoration You leave protected while your permanent crown or bridge is fabricated to match your natural teeth.
- Final placement The custom restoration is fitted, checked against your bite, and cemented securely in place.

Corte Madera Crown and Bridge Questions
Where do Corte Madera patients go for crowns and bridges?
Most head a short way north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael, where we sit at 1099 D Street. If your week already takes you to The Village at Corte Madera or Town Center Corte Madera, folding a crown or bridge visit into the trip up the freeway is simple. Call (415) 453-0744 and we will find a time that suits your week.
How much does a crown or bridge cost near Corte Madera?
Cost depends on the tooth, the material, and whether any prep work such as a buildup or root canal is needed first. We give you a clear, itemized estimate before treatment, and members of our in-house D is for Dental plan save 20% on restorative work. Call (415) 453-0744 for an evaluation.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good home care and regular checkups, crowns and bridges commonly last many years. Longevity depends on the materials, your bite, and how well you maintain them. Dr. Steve builds each restoration precisely and shows you how to protect it so it holds up.
Should I choose a bridge or a dental implant?
Both replace a missing tooth. A bridge anchors to the teeth on either side of the gap and is often faster; an implant replaces the tooth root without altering neighboring teeth and tends to last longer. Dr. Steve will walk you through the trade-offs for your situation so you can decide with the full picture.
