Dental Crowns and Bridges in Manhattan

At Upper West Side Dental, Dr. Benjamin Shirley understands how important it is for restorative dental work to look and feel as natural as possible. Whether you’re repairing a damaged tooth or replacing a missing one, our practice offers customized solutions that restore both function and aesthetics. With advanced materials and a patient-first approach, we ensure your dental crown or bridge blends beautifully into your smile.

Dental Crowns – Restore Strength and Aesthetics

A dental crown, also known as a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire surface of a damaged tooth. Crowns are commonly used to protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, suffered fractures, or have significant wear, misalignment, or discoloration. They restore not only the strength and structure of the tooth but also improve its overall appearance and bite function.

Dr. Shirley can have your crown fabricated and placed in just two visits. During your consultation, we’ll help you select the best material—such as porcelain or zirconia—and match the crown color to blend naturally with the rest of your teeth. Our goal is to deliver a result so seamless that no one will be able to tell the difference between your crown and natural tooth.

  • Ideal after root canal therapy or multiple fractures
  • Fully restores shape, size, and strength
  • Custom-matched for a natural look
  • Made from durable, biocompatible materials

Dental Bridges – Replace Missing Teeth with Confidence

A dental bridge is a fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth. The bridge “bridges the gap” left by missing teeth, restoring proper alignment, chewing function, and aesthetics. This non-removable solution helps maintain the shape of your face, prevent shifting of neighboring teeth, and improve your smile’s overall appearance.

Dr. Shirley will evaluate your bite, bone support, and smile goals before recommending the best type of bridge for you. With multiple material options available—such as porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal—we’ll help you choose the one that delivers the ideal balance of strength, comfort, and esthetics.

  • Replaces one or more missing teeth
  • Prevents shifting and bite collapse
  • Custom-crafted to match adjacent teeth
  • Permanently fixed and not removable

Custom Restorations with a Natural Look

Whether you’re receiving a crown or a bridge, your restoration will be designed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. We work closely with dental labs to ensure precise fit, natural coloration, and long-lasting results. From color matching to material selection, Dr. Shirley will guide you through every decision—so you feel confident in both the process and the outcome.

Patient Stories of Exceptional Restorative Care

★★★★★

Dr. Shirley cares deeply about his patients. Because of covid, I had avoided the dentist for almost 3 years. Then when I went in for my cleaning, I learned I needed to redo 2 root canals and have crowns put in (both front teeth!). Dr. Shirley and his team (all of whom are so great, polite, and happy people), gave me the run down of how to get my teeth back to health. He recommended a great endodontist who did both my root canals in 1 hour…and then I went back to Dr. Shirley for the crowns. Dr. Shirley did an amazing job with the temps and then when the first crowns came in, the shade was slightly off, slightly more yellow than the temps and than I would have wanted. Dr. Shirley was able to help me get the right shade the second time around, and now they look great. Going to the dentist is never that fun. But Dr. Shirley makes it better, is terrific at his job, listens to his patients, wants the best for you (he understood, these were my front teeth..and I was picky about them.), and works incredibly hard to give you a great smile. When I was not super thrilled with my first crown shade, Dr. Shirley called me and we talked through it on the phone. Dr. Shirley is not one of those docs who will make unreasonable promises and ignore you/not deliver. He will walk you through exactly what might happen and I was also very grateful for the endodontist referral that made the 2 root canals, both of which were difficult cases, much more tolerable. Now that my crowns are done, I am looking forward to going back for my cleaning and future whitening. Shout out to the staff in his office. They are GOOD people AND if you are the last patient of the day, you get to watch Netflix. I watched the great British bake off twice.

★★★★★

I had a great experience with Dr. Benjamin. He made the entire process of getting my crown smooth and comfortable. He took the time to explain all of my questions. Not to mention, Dr. Benjamin work quality is excellent and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As someone who just moved to the city and the uws neighborhood, I’m glad that I found Dr. Benjamin. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled dentist!
