Dental Crowns in Beverly Hills
Cracked tooth? Old filling not holding up? Sometimes, your tooth just needs a little armor, and that’s where dental crowns come in.
In Beverly Hills, where your smile is part of your personality, restoring a damaged tooth isn’t just about function. It’s about confidence. Our dental crown treatments are as much about protection as they are about aesthetics, because no one should be able to tell the difference between your natural tooth and a restored one.
What Exactly Is a Dental Crown?
Think of a crown as a custom-made protected layer for your tooth. It covers the entire surface, protecting it from further damage, sealing out bacteria, and bringing back its original shape and shine.
People get crowns for all kinds of reasons: some need them after a root canal, others because of a broken tooth from years ago that finally gave out. In every case, the goal is to make that tooth usable and beautiful again.
Do You Need One? Here’s How to Tell
If you’re wondering whether a crown is right for you, here are a few real-world signs:
- You've chipped a molar on something hard, and it's sensitive every time you chew.
- When the tooth starts to feel weak.
- You’ve had a large filling for years, and now it’s starting to give way.
- You grind your teeth, and one is visibly worn down.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Getting a crown isn’t just a technical procedure; it’s personal. Especially here, where looks matter and dental work has to be invisible.
No cookie-cutter crowns
Zero guesswork
What Happens During a Crown Procedure?
The procedure of a dental crown seems much easier than people think:
- We assess the damage: If the tooth seems to be solid, then we move ahead.
- We prep the tooth: During this step, we shape the tooth slightly so that the crown can sit properly.
- We take an impression: Either digitally or with a mold, this becomes the blueprint for your crown.
- We place a temporary crown: You won’t leave with a vulnerable tooth.
- We fit the final crown: Once it’s ready (usually within a week), we cement it in and fine-tune the fit.
