Whittier Dentists Who Plan Your Crown With You

A crown covers a tooth that needs more support than a filling can provide. Before recommending one, we examine the tooth, your bite, and the teeth around it, then explain whether a crown is the right fit.

Restorative and cosmetic care happen in the same office here, so your crown is planned for how it looks as well as how it bites.

Our dental technicians create custom crowns using high-quality materials.

When a Crown May Be the Right Repair

The reason you need a restoration shapes the choices available. We examine the tooth before deciding what care makes sense.

A Cracked or Fractured Tooth

Crowns are placed over teeth to reinforce weakened tooth structure. Covering a cracked or fractured tooth gives it the added strength and durability it needs to last.

A Large or Failing Filling

A tooth with significant damage or a large existing filling may need more support than another filling can provide. A crown covers the tooth to restore its shape and function.

After Root Canal Treatment

Once a tooth has had root canal treatment, it is often covered with a crown to restore its function. We assess how much tooth structure remains and recommend the right restoration.

A Worn or Discolored Tooth

A crown can also improve the appearance of a worn, damaged, or heavily restored tooth. We plan the color, shape, and fit so it works naturally with the teeth around it.

Porcelain and Ceramic Crowns

Crowns can be made of metal alone, or with a metal base under a tooth-colored covering such as porcelain. The drawback of both is that the metal can show.

All-porcelain crowns are made entirely of porcelain. The porcelain is durable, highly esthetic, and matches natural tooth enamel more closely, so these crowns can look natural even on front teeth. Our practice offers custom ceramic crown fabrication.

Wondering how a crown on your own tooth compares with an implant crown? Read dental implants vs. crowns: what’s the difference.

Partial Crowns: Inlays and Onlays

Not every damaged tooth needs full coverage. Inlays and onlays are partial crowns that can be made of porcelain or gold. They may be recommended for large cavities, or to replace large old silver fillings that can’t be restored with regular filling material.

Like a full crown, a partial crown is crafted to fit the prepared tooth and placed over two appointments. Your dentist can tell you whether a partial crown is an option for your tooth. Learn more in our article partial crown: what it is and its benefits.

How Your Custom Crown Is Made

1
Exam and imaging
We examine the tooth, your bite, and the teeth around it, using X-rays, intraoral cameras, and digital scanners as needed.
2
Shaping the tooth
The tooth is numbed, then cut and shaped to create space for the crown.
3
Recording its shape
We record the prepared tooth with an impression or digital scan so your crown can be made to fit it.
4
Crafting and placing the crown
Our dental technicians create your custom crown. At your next appointment, it is cemented onto the tooth with tooth-colored adhesive cement.

Technology Used to Plan Your Crown

We use digital scanners and intraoral cameras to gather information about your teeth. An intraoral camera puts a close-up of a cracked tooth or worn filling on screen, so you can see what we see.

These tools help us assess a damaged tooth and plan a crown that fits your bite. We explain the materials and steps recommended for your specific tooth before treatment begins.

Treatments Connected to Your Crown

A crown is one part of the plan for some teeth. The condition of the tooth and the teeth around it determines what we recommend.

Dental Bridges

Missing a tooth rather than repairing one? A bridge uses crowns on the neighboring teeth to hold a replacement tooth in the gap.

Dental Fillings

A filling may repair a tooth when enough healthy structure remains. When a tooth needs more coverage and support, we may recommend a crown instead.

Root Canal Treatment

If decay or a crack has reached the inside of the tooth, root canal treatment may come first, followed by a crown to protect what remains.

Dental Implants

If a tooth cannot be saved, an implant topped with a ceramic crown can replace it. We explain the difference between restoring a tooth and replacing it.

Questions About Dental Crowns Near You

Can a damaged tooth be repaired with a filling instead of a crown?

Sometimes. We examine how much healthy tooth remains and whether a filling would provide enough support. If the tooth needs more coverage, we may recommend a crown, or a partial crown such as an onlay.

What are dental crowns made of?

Crowns can be all porcelain or ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, or gold. All-porcelain crowns match natural enamel closely and can be used on front teeth. We explain which material suits your tooth and your bite.

How many visits does a crown take?

Usually two. At the first visit, we shape the tooth and record its shape. Your custom crown is then made and cemented at the next appointment.

Can I get a crown after root canal treatment at your Whittier office?

Yes. We provide both root canal treatment and dental crowns in the same office. After examining the tooth, we tell you whether a crown is recommended to restore it.

How much do dental crowns cost in Whittier?

The cost depends on the tooth, the material, any treatment needed first, and your insurance benefits. Our team checks your PPO coverage, explains the estimated amount you would owe, and reviews payment options such as CareCredit and Cherry.
