What is a Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth covering it to restore its shape and size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crown fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
Crowns are custom made to fit over each tooth. They can be made of a variety of different materials, including ceramics, porcelain-and-metal, gold, or resin.
Which Crown Material Should I Choose?
In order to recommend you wich materials are the best, your dentist will first consider factors such as:
- Tooth’s location
- How much of the tooth will show when you smile
- Position of your gum tissue
- Function of the tooth that needs the crown
- How much natural tooth is remaining
- Color of the surrounding teeth
How Do I Know if I Need a Crown?
If you have a large cavity that’s too big for a filling, it may be time for a crown. You may also need a crown if your tooth is: severely worn down, cracked or weakened. Crowns are also recommended following a root canal on a tooth, because the tooth is more fragile and needs protection.
You may be a candidate for a crown if you’re missing a tooth, and the dentist needs to put in a dental bridge or a tooth implant.

Finally found a dentist I like and trust! They are very thorough here, the OD explained everything he needed to do and why, answered all my questions, addressed and fixed all my concerns, did a deep cleaning and even took care of my smallest concerns like a strange chip in my tooth and they take medi-cal!COVID UPDATE: Carol did my cleaning today and she was extremely thorough, sweet and communicated to me all of the issues she found, what was good, what wasn’t good and what I could work more on and the specific tools I needed. Appreciated her transparency and the dentist office has made changes to protect and keep everyone safe. For cleanings in particular they stopped using the machine that blows all the air around and opt for hand cleaning instead which I feel is more precise. Carol then explained if she needed the bigger tools she would use them but prefers to air on the side of caution and prefers hand cleaning anywayAll staff is always very nice and cool as well!
