Are you depressed about a damaged or decayed tooth? Dental crowns can restore your compromised tooth to full health. A dental crown provides full coverage, repairing damage to allow you to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Westwood Village Smiles provides some of Los Angeles, California’s best dental crown services. So, if you need a dental filling, you can entrust your smile to Dr. Jose Omar Guillen and his team.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap worn over the remaining tooth structure. A dental crown covers the entire tooth, repairing more damage than a filling. While only a dentist can determine the need for a crown, you’ll likely need one to:
Our crowns are crafted with a perfect blend of artistry and advanced dental technology to ensure they fit seamlessly and look natural. Each crown is custom-designed to match your teeth’s shape, size, and color, creating a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.
It all starts with a consultation to determine your eligibility for a dental crown. If you have tooth damage or decay, dental X-rays will be needed to assess the severity of the damage. Sometimes, you may need a root canal to resolve deep infections before placing a crown.
Next, the dentist will prepare your tooth by reshaping the enamel. Any decayed or damaged portions will be removed to leave a healthy surface. Then, we’ll take impressions of your tooth, which our dental lab will refer to when creating your crown. As your crown is being fabricated, we’ll protect your tooth with a provisional crown.
Once the lab sends your crown to our office, we’ll notify you to schedule an appointment for placement. We’ll check the fit and appearance of your crown, make a few tweaks, and use dental adhesives to secure your crown. Your crowned tooth looks natural, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
A dental crown is an investment in your smile and oral health. By following the below tips, you can ensure that your investment lasts many years.
Although dental crowns are durable, sometimes they need replacement. If your crown is loose or you notice cracks or rough edges, it may be time for a replacement.
