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.

I’ve been coming here for years and I have failed to post a review. If you are looking for a great dentist with hospitality, a smile and a place that cares about you rather than your money than this is it. Dr. Tori Irvine is the absolute best that I’ve ever experienced in Charlotte. Sarah the dental hygienist goes above and beyond every time she cleans my teeth. We have a great communication together and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

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. Jan 2026: Dr. Huh is a highly skilled doctor! He is on the ball. I am so lucky to have him here at Providence Dentistry.

Dr. Tori Irvine is an excellent professional dentist as well as she is very communicative and enjoys her clients. She will discuss your dental plan in detail so you understand the priorities on what should be done and when. I had gone to her new office quite awhile after she left my previous dental center. I now needed crown work for a broken tooth and some other dental work. My visit was justified and I still prefer only her to plan for and provide the care of my teeth. Her new office and her staff are just as professional and also provided excellent service.

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!

I was there today to get a crown replaced that fell off about two weeks ago, The team work was excellent and the commitment to scheduled appointment time is greatly appreciated. My only regret is that Dr. Moran is leaving the practice to relocate her residence. I have been her patient for almost 18 years and I will miss the excellent care she has given me. I look forward to developing the same relationship and confidence with Dr. Irvine. Entire staff was organized and friendly as well as professional. I was seen right on time of appointment. I was asked about any concerns I had and Dr. Moran examined me after the hygienist had completed the annual cleaning.

I recently visited Providence Dentistry and had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Michelle Felden — and I couldn’t be more impressed. Her patient care was exceptional from start to finish. She checked in constantly to make sure I was comfortable, paused whenever I needed a break, and clearly explained each stage of the procedure and what to expect next. Even though my “responses” were mostly muffled uh-huh’s and thumbs-ups, she still guided me through the entire process, and I felt completely informed the whole time. Having grown up with my mom as my dental hygienist for over 20 years, my old dental office felt like a second home — so I wasn’t sure I’d ever feel that comfortable switching dentists. But from the moment I walked into Providence Dentistry, from the front desk staff to the hygienists to Dr. Felden herself, I immediately felt at home and completely confident that I was receiving the highest level of care. Dr. Felden’s gentle approach, attention to detail, and communication style made what could have been an anxious experience into one of ease and trust. Thank you to the entire team at Providence Dentistry — I’m already looking forward to bringing some treats for you guys next routine cleaning!
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.
