El Paso’s First Choice for a Crown or Bridge
Why People Love Zaragoza Family Dental
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-fitted restorations that cover the entire visible part of a tooth.
They are designed to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth that has been damaged, decayed, or is aesthetically displeasing. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys, to provide a natural look and long-lasting durability.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, bridging the gap created by the absence.
A bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (anchoring teeth) and a false tooth/teeth in between. Like crowns, bridges can be crafted from various materials to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.

Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz
I work to help people feel great about their smiles. I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just your mouth. My practice philosophy is based on the ongoing research on the oral-systemic links showing stronger connections to ailments like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, strokes, pregnancy complications and cancers. My passion is to help fearful and anxious patients overcome their fears and trust dentists. I understand how difficult it can be to seek dental treatment due to anxiety and provide compassionate care to help make the process enjoyable again.
Education:
I attended the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University for my dental education, earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and further AAID, as an Associate Fellow.
I enjoy expanding my knowledge base to take a more holistic approach of overall dental health and well-being, instead of just treating teeth.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is a dental crown, and why do I need one?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended for teeth that are significantly damaged, decayed, have undergone root canal therapy, or to improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years, or even longer. The lifespan of a crown depends on the material it's made of and the wear and tear it undergoes.
What are dental bridges, and how do they work?
Dental bridges are used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (anchor teeth) and a false tooth/teeth in between. Bridges are anchored to natural teeth or implants and can restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
Can dental bridges replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes, dental bridges can replace multiple missing teeth as long as there are enough strong anchor teeth or implants to support the bridge. The specific type and length of the bridge will depend on the location and number of missing teeth.
What is the process for getting a crown or bridge?
The process typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the tooth/teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and a temporary crown or bridge is placed. The impressions are sent to a dental lab where your custom crown or bridge is made. At the second visit, the temporary restoration is removed, and the new crown or bridge is adjusted, fitted, and cemented into place.
Are crowns and bridges noticeable?
Modern crowns and bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your original teeth. Dr. Badwalz will ensure that your restorations blend seamlessly with your smile.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Caring for your crown or bridge involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Avoiding hard and sticky foods can also help protect your restorations.
