Dental Crowns at Angeles Crest Dentistry

Our patients need dental crowns for a variety of reasons, including: 

• Your tooth is cracked or broken. 
• You have a stained tooth. 
• To strengthen a tooth weakened by damage or decay. 
• To provide structure for a broken or cracked tooth. 
• To cover a tooth with a large filling that needs extra support. 
• To cap off a dental implant. 
• To protect a tooth that has had a root canal. 
• To reshape a tooth for cosmetic purposes.

A dental crown is like a cap for your tooth. The crown is custom designed to fit your mouth. We also color-match the crown to blend in with your natural smile. A dental crown can give your tooth long-lasting protection against decay and wear, as well as beautiful color and

shape. 

Reshaping your tooth with a crown can also improve your bite and the aesthetic of your smile. If you have one tooth that takes away from the beauty of your smile, consider a dental crown to correct your tooth. We want to help you take the worry out of your smile.

Many of our patients wear a temporary dental crown while they are waiting for their permanent crown to be created. The temporary crown protects the tooth in the meantime. If you have had a tooth buildup, protection is especially important.

The first part of the treatment includes taking an impression of your mouth to ensure your crown fits right into your smile. Your impression is sent to a lab where your new porcelain crown is created. After the crown is fabricated, you’ll head back to our office for placement. 

Before the dentist places your crown, we’ll double-check the fit to make sure you feel comfortable. The dentist will then permanently bond your crown into place to create a secure and protective barrier. You can walk out of our office with a beautiful new smile!

A dental crown can restore the beauty of your smile. The look and feel of the material blends in with your natural smile. Dental crowns also help to restore the function of your bite.
