If you’re dealing with a damaged, decayed, or cosmetically flawed tooth, you may be a great candidate for a dental crown. At The Dentistry Collective in Rancho Bernardo, we use high-quality, natural-looking dental crowns to restore function, protect your oral health, and give you a smile you’re proud to share.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown—also known as a “cap”—is a custom-made restoration that completely covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Crowns are commonly used to:
- Repair broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Restore teeth after root canal therapy
- Cover large fillings or decayed areas
- Improve the appearance of misshaped or discolored teeth
- Complete a dental implant or bridge
What to Expect During the Dental Crown Process
Here’s how the dental crown process works at The Dentistry Collective:
- Tooth Preparation: We begin by numbing the area to ensure your comfort. The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown and to ensure a secure fit.
- Digital Impressions: We take precise impressions of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. These are sent to a trusted dental lab, where your custom crown is crafted to match your bite and natural tooth color.
- Temporary Crown Placement: While your permanent crown is being made, we’ll place a temporary crown so you can smile, chew, and function normally.
- Final Placement: Once your custom crown arrives, we’ll remove the temporary and carefully fit the final crown. We check the shape, shade, and bite to ensure a perfect match before cementing it in place.
The result? A strong, beautiful restoration that feels just like your natural tooth—and often looks even better.
