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.
Call 704-246-5346 for dental crowns and bridges in Charlotte. You can also schedule online.

All of the staff at Providence Dentistry including Autumn and Heidi at reception were friendly and welcoming. Emily, my dental hygienist, was very thorough and gentle. She explained what she was doing and put me at ease. Dr. Felden, the dentist, also took time to talk with me. Sam, the technician who took my scan for a retainer, explained the procedure well. I would highly recommend Providence Dentistry.

I wrote the following about a year ago and now I’m 89. I really can’t improve on what I wrote, unless I put it in BOLD, CAPS, AND UNDERLINED SCRIPT. This time, Dr. Irvine(I call her Dr Beauty!) actually driled through an implant to tighten it(then patched it flawlessly)and I didn’t even have novocane and felt nothing!!!! (now for last years’ post): She and her staff are the most friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and PAIN FREE of any dentists I’ve been to in my 88 years! I actually look forward to an enjoyable time when I go-HA!!! It’s like going to a party, with all the laughs and lovely faces around me!!! Joe Parascand

Dr. Irvine fixed a busted crown for me today and did her usual excellent job, i.e. no pain, well-explained, reasonable terms, with help from her courteous and always welcoming team (today it was Marciola; great job!). My wife and I feel lucky to have Dr. Irvine’s group available to us. Dr. Moran has to be one the best dentists in the area. She’s thorough, knowledgeable, technically savvy and friendly. My wife and I have relied on her for some 15 years now. She and Dr. Irvine (also very talented) have built a solid, customer-focused team. I would definitely recommend either dentist for your personal care.

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.

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.

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!
A. L. (Verified Patient)

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.
