What is a Tooth Crown?
A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for several purposes.
One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed.
The crown is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gumline. It restores the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal.
Porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth.
Our Quality Dental Crowns in Toluca Lake, CA
At Toluca Dental Care, our dentist and team provide porcelain crowns that are fused to metal.
These metal shells have been covered with a layer of porcelain, creating a strong and aesthetically pleasing result. We also use the innovative Lava™ crowns to restore damaged or decayed teeth. Lava™ crowns are created with zirconia, a durable tooth-colored material, and contain no metal, so you don’t ever have to worry about the appearance of your smile.
During your consultation with Dr. Pema, you will discuss which type of dental crown is right for you.
Benefits of a Dental Crown
Your smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration.
Crowns can also be used for several other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including to:
- Protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- Anchor and attach a dental bridge
- Cover and complete a dental implant
- Enhance the beauty of your smile
- Improve a misshapen tooth
- Strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weak
- Support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains
