Dr. Irvine on Bridges, Crowns, Inlays and Bonding
It is amazing how many people chip front teeth, either from grinding or wear to accidentally hitting a fork. With dental technology and dental materials, bonding back a little bit of a chip here and there on teeth, it’s very strong and it can blend right with the tooth and look excellent. People with missing teeth can replace those teeth with multiple different restorations.
They can have something that comes in and out, very aesthetic. It’s just a lot of people don’t want to have to manage something that comes in and out of their mouth. So if they didn’t want that, they could have a bridge between the teeth, which is like three crowns in a row connected, or they could place an implant in the space that looks just like their regular tooth did.
Crowns, bridges, and onlays, in fact, all have a great place in restoring damaged teeth, fractured teeth, worn down teeth. An onlay can replace an old silver filling without having to take off as much tooth structure as a crown. A crown is very good even with a small amount of sensitivity on a tooth when chewing.
If you put a crown, it can hold everything together, hold it together so that it distributes the force over the tooth and there won’t be sensitivity anymore and hopefully no need for a root canal. Bridges, if there’s missing teeth and an implant isn’t something that is wanted, a bridge is a good second option to replace the tooth and again look beautiful in the mouth.

As a patient of Providence Dentistry, you can expect a positive experience from the moment you walk through our doors. If your dental need is urgent, our team focuses on getting you out of pain first. Your dentist will examine your mouth and take digital X-rays to determine the type of restoration that is most suitable for you.
Depending on what’s happening with your smile, your dentist may recommend:
- Dental Crowns – These versatile restorations are ideal for patients dealing with serious dental damage like broken teeth. A crown is also used to repair teeth infected by cavities or following a root canal. Your dentist can make your customized crown in-house with our CEREC machine. You’ll get your new crown right away, with no need to wear a temporary.
- Dental Bridges – A dental bridge can replace one tooth or several missing teeth in a row. A traditional bridge is anchored to nearby teeth using crowns. Your dentist prepares the nearby teeth to support the bridge.
- Implant Crowns or Bridges – You can pair a dental implant with a crown to replace a single tooth. You can also get an implant bridge to replace several teeth. Unlike a traditional bridge, implants will prevent bone loss in your jaw.

Best practice in the area. The staff is well-educated and generous with their knowledge. Having an advocate for my teeth and gums was not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. Dr. Irvine is the absolute best dentist and Grace, the hygenist, is as amazing as the song says she is 😉. I couldn’t recommend a better office or group of people, from front desk to checkout, everyone is a rockstar!

Just returned from my first visit. It was great!! Highly professional and very friendly at every turn. Jeri, who cleaned my teeth, did an exceptional job. Really liked my previous dentist (of over 30 years), but he retired and prices had been going up quickly. Definitely recommend these folks. Just went today for my second cleaning. As before, it was a great experience. Jerilyn is amazing! Whatsherface the dentist too. The technology these folks have is amazing. If you don’t have a fantastic dentist, go to Providence Dentistry. 03/15/22 appointment. Again, a very pleasant experience at “The Dentist.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s really true.
P. D. (Verified Patient)
Trusted Providence Dentistry for over 5 years and have the utmost confidence in their professionalism and competence. Today Mauri did a great and thorough cleaning with a few X-rays. Dr. Irvine came in, checked me out and except for one problem tooth all is well. We trust and appreciate Providence Dentistry and the entire staff.
B. G. (Verified Patient)
Visited just a few days ago to launch an Implant, and benefitted from a concise, yet thorough, explanation of what the process involves from Dr. Irvine’s personable and clearly competent Assistant, Jackie. I am impressed by the innovative utilization of technology and engineering in the preparation for, construction of and manner of firmly securing the implant. The amount of thought, time and planning involved in this important procedure, plus the obvious skill and caring of Dr. Irvine and her Team have, once again, occasioned my “Thank You” to the source of my initial referral to the practice!
K. R. (Verified Patient)

R. M. (Verified Patient)
Oh My Gosh! Dr. Tori Irvine and her assistant Jackie, as well as the administrative staff…and everyone there are fantastic! I had a cavity in a wisdom tooth that was taken care of…that could have lead to an eventual root canal. No pain, sensation…or any kind of uncomfortableness. Dr. Irvine’s professional expertise is beyond description! How’s this: I walked out feeling my tooth was the same as before I walked in! Regardless of one’s stage in life, you could not go to a better dental practice!!!
D. K. (Verified Patient)
2025 update: Hygienist Emily performed a thorough cleaning, and I truly enjoyed interacting with her, as well as doctors Huh and Scott. 2024- Today, a beautiful in-house created porcelain crown was placed at the same visit as my tooth prep. Dr. Patel and assistant Sam couldn’t have been more kind and attentive!! I was also VERY comfortable with the neck pillow they gave to me. I am grateful to the entire Providence Dentistry staff. The front desk staff are also wonderful.
D. L. (Verified Patient)

K. W. (Verified Patient)

I don’t mind having a temporary crown, in fact that’s what I’m used too; and then getting regular crown later. Now a days crowns are done in the office with new technology, but with the new software I think Dr Irwin did the best she could. I’m glad if she wasn’t satisfied she wasn’t going to make it work. I’m OK waiting for new crown to be fixed off site. But; it was a long 3 hours with the whole ordeal. Mouth is sore; but I’m fine. I would recommend Providence Dentistry to my friends. Thanks We completed the crown today and it went well; with little or no problems. I feel good so far and Dr. Irwin did a good job. Tay her dental assistant also did a good job. I have a cleaning coming up on Nov1st. LETS DO IT!!!! My cleaning on the 9th was great with Emily. She does a great job!!! 12-3-24 I had a cleaning today with Emily and she was great. She is really the only one that cleans my teeth and I’m very satisfied with her expertise. She is also very personal and a nice person. 4/11/24 Had cleaning today and Emily was fantastic. She is personable, professional and kind. She knows her patients and remembers things about them, which always makes me feel good. I would recommend her to anyone, thanks Emily!!! Cleaning was good; Emily did good job. She observed an area that needs a filing. It will done in December at my next cleaning.

Dr Irvine truly is an amazing dentist! Her bedside manner is nothing short of Excellence, she’s so kind to her staff, such a good yet very kind doctor! I’m glad me and my family found her. I feel she’s very honest, which is hard to find unfortunately
Dental crowns and bridges can be used in many ways to restore damaged and missing teeth. We can use a single crown for repairing a tooth or, with a dental implant, replace a missing tooth. A bridge is designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to either your other teeth or to dental implants.
The average dental crown or bridge will last for approximately five to seven years. However, your restoration may give you great performance for 10 years or longer if you maintain good oral hygiene and avoid eating foods that compromise it. We’re happy to provide instructions on keeping your crown or bridge fully functional for as long as possible.
Most dental insurance plans will cover at least a portion of your new dental crown or bridge. We can help you check the specifics of your policy to see what is covered and to determine how much of the cost you’ll be responsible for. We also offer third-party financing options through CareCredit.
