Dental Crowns

Our cosmetic and restorative dentist in North Hollywood may recommend porcelain crowns when teeth are particularly weak, cracked, have large fillings or have undergone root canal treatment. A dental crown may also be used to support a dental bridge, cover a dental implant or improve the aesthetics of a smile. In some cases, our North Hollywood porcelain dental crowns dentist may also use dental crowns on children in order to protect severely decayed primary teeth, protect the teeth of children at extremely high risk of tooth decay and help maintain the dental health of children who are unable to maintain good dental hygiene due to behavioral, medical or other reasons.
Dental crowns are placed in two visits. During your first visit, the dentist will numb your tooth and remove the decay from the tooth. Once all of the decay is gone, the tooth will be shaped, cleaned, and prepared for an impression. An impression is taken so that a mold can be sent to the lab. The crown is crafted in our dental lab, and once it is finished, you will return for your second visit. During your second visit, the dental crown is secured with dental bonding to your tooth. Dental crowns are a great option to treat and strengthen your smile. If you have a broken or decayed tooth, give us a call to see if a dental crown may be the treatment for you. The team at NOHO Dental Group are experts at crown placement so you can rest assured that you are receiving the best treatment at the most affordable price.
