Crown and bridge restorations are dental treatments used to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth, helping restore both function and appearance.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth. It strengthens the tooth, restores its shape, and improves its appearance.

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the neighboring teeth, “bridging” the gap and restoring your smile.

These restorations are designed to look natural, improve your ability to chew and speak, and help maintain proper alignment of your remaining teeth.

Santa Fe Dental Associates focus on improving the appearance of your smile while often enhancing your overall dental health. We have treatments designed to change the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall look of your teeth and gums.

Common cosmetic dental services include:

• Teeth whitening to brighten stained or discolored teeth.
• Tooth-colored fillings and crowns for a natural appearance
• Veneers to create a smooth, uniform smile
• Dental bonding to repair chips, cracks, or gaps
• Clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly

Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a complete smile makeover, we can help you achieve a confident, beautiful smile that looks as good as it feels.

Endodontic treatments focus on saving teeth that are infected, inflamed, or damaged on the inside. The most common type of endodontic treatment is a root canal.

During a root canal, the infected or irritated pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is sealed to prevent future infection. In most cases, a crown is placed afterward to restore strength and function.

Endodontic treatment can relieve pain, eliminate infection, and allow you to keep your natural tooth instead of needing an extraction. With modern techniques, root canals are comfortable, effective, and often no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

Removable partials and dentures are custom-made dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.

A partial denture is designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. It fits comfortably around your existing teeth and fills in the gaps, helping improve chewing, speaking, and overall appearance.

A full denture is used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. It rests on the gums and is carefully crafted to look natural while restoring function and facial support.

Both options are removable for easy cleaning and maintenance. Modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and secure than ever, helping you smile, eat, and speak with confidence.

Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots.

Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth.

Dental implants help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably, prevent bone loss in the jaw, and maintain the shape of your face. They are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth—making them one of the most reliable and durable tooth replacement options available.

In-office teeth whitening with Kör deep bleaching is a comfortable alternative to in-office systems that are known to be uncomfortable and dramatically increase sensitivity. Kör whitens by improving oxygenation of the tooth enamel, which is a completely different process than that of other teeth whitening options.  

Take-home teeth whitening is an option that gives you the ultimate in flexibility. You get to wear the custom-made whitening trays and whitening gel as it fits your schedule.
