Crowns & Bridges
Porcelain crowns provide relief from discomfort, renew strength and function, reinforce molars, restore cracked or broken teeth and replace old, decayed fillings. If you need durable, trustworthy restorations, dental crowns and bridges will have you smiling with confidence again.
A crown is a solid-porcelain, cap-like covering that encases your tooth and restores it's former strength, shape and beauty. Crowns are favored because of the versatility, strength and stability they provide.
A bridge is a solution that replaces one or more missing, extracted or knocked-out teeth by anchoring itself to neighboring teeth. Bridges can restore proper occlusal pressure, re-establish a solid chewing surface, guard your bite and prevent bone loss.
If cared for properly, bridges can last at least a decade. Crowns can last even longer - and our exclusive use of metal-free materials means that you'll never see a thin, dark line where a bridge or crown meets your gums. Also, all of our work is done in US labs only- ensuring you quality work and precise fit.
If you need a crown or bridge to rejuvenate the healthy function of your smile, we encourage you to call Dr. Kelley Fisher and schedule an initial appointment.

Eastside dental expert Kelley Fisher uses crowns or bridges when patients have broken cusps, fractured teeth, large existing silver fillings, food impaction, periodontal disease or severe cavities on single or multiple teeth.
Decay typically develops underneath and around an old filling, so our first step involves the discovery and removal of all harmful material. Once the decay is gone, we build the tooth back up. Then your crown or bridge is sculpted to create an ideal fit. During the interim period between when your impressions are taken and when our Issaquah dental lab returns your fabricated crowns, Dr. Fisher fits you with a temporary crown or bridge made of acrylic resin.
Since it involves more than one tooth, a bridge usually requires a little extra time or second visit. During your final visit, Dr. Fisher removes your temporary and bonds your permanent, color-matched crown or bridge into your mouth.
Within a mere 14-21 days, Bellevue dental expert Kelley Fisher can make your decay disappear and rejuvenate your smile. Let us show you how easy it can be!
