Dental Crowns Specialist Serving Bay Area, Mountain View, CA

Whether you’re dealing with significant tooth decay or a large cavity that cannot be resolved with a simple filling, our skilled dentists can provide a durable dental crown to ensure your tooth is adequately protected and preserved. This prevents further deterioration and maintains your oral health in the long run.

For patients experiencing fractured teeth or wear from grinding, our custom-made crowns at Allure Dental Center will restore the tooth’s original shape, strength, and functionality. This restoration allows you to enjoy normal biting and chewing functions without discomfort.

If you’ve recently undergone a root canal treatment, dental crowns offer the necessary reinforcement to protect your tooth, which may be more fragile post-procedure. We take great care to match the crown to your natural tooth color, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result.

Enhancing your smile’s appearance is also a priority at Allure Dental Center. Dental crowns can address issues such as discoloration or misshapen teeth, providing a uniform and attractive smile. Moreover, for those with missing teeth, we utilize crowns to support dental bridges, ensuring a secure and functional solution.

Porcelain crowns are a popular choice at Allure Dental Center for their superior aesthetics. They are ideal for front teeth, providing a natural appearance with their lifelike translucency and excellent color-matching capabilities. Our skilled dentists craft these crowns to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a confident, radiant smile.

For patients with metal allergies or those seeking a metal-free option, ceramic crowns offer similar aesthetic benefits to porcelain, making them a great alternative. We also offer metal alloy crowns, including those made from gold, platinum, and other durable metals, which are perfect for molars due to their exceptional strength and durability. While metal crowns may not be as visually appealing, they require less tooth structure removal and are highly resistant to wear.

For temporary solutions, resin crowns are available as a cost-effective option. While these are not as durable as other materials, they serve well in interim situations. Additionally, we offer zirconia crowns, which are gaining popularity due to their exceptional strength, durability, and natural appearance. Zirconia’s biocompatibility makes it a safe and versatile choice for many patients.

During your initial consultation at Allure Dental Center, our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination of the tooth requiring a crown. We utilize cutting-edge diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays, to assess the tooth’s structure and surrounding bone, ensuring there are no hidden issues like decay or infection.

If a crown is deemed necessary, we meticulously prepare the tooth by removing a portion of its outer layer. This step is essential to create the perfect fit for your custom crown, aligning seamlessly with adjacent teeth. In cases where extensive damage has occurred, we may use advanced composite materials to rebuild the tooth’s foundation before crown placement.

While your permanent crown is being expertly fabricated, we protect your prepared tooth with a temporary crown made from high-quality materials. This temporary solution allows you to maintain normal function and aesthetics while you await your final crown.

Upon returning to Allure Dental Center for the final placement, we ensure the perfect fit, color, and alignment of your new crown. Our dentists make any necessary adjustments to guarantee a comfortable bite before securely bonding the crown with a durable dental adhesive.

We dedicate ourselves to patient education, providing guidance on maintaining your crown with excellent oral hygiene and dietary recommendations to prolong its life. Routine check-ups at Allure Dental Center are key to monitoring the health of your crown and the underlying tooth structure.

The traditional dental crown procedure typically involves two main appointments. During the first visit, our experienced team will prepare your tooth for the crown. This includes a thorough examination and if necessary, X-rays to assess the condition of your tooth. We take pride in our meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that your tooth is properly shaped and ready for the crown. To create a precise fit, we take an impression that is sent to a top-tier dental laboratory to fabricate your custom crown. While you wait for your permanent crown, a temporary crown is applied to protect your tooth.

Once your custom crown is ready, usually within two to three weeks, you’ll return for a second appointment. During this visit, we will remove the temporary crown, and our skilled dentists will check the fit and color of the permanent crown. If everything meets our high standards and your satisfaction, the crown is cemented into place with a strong dental adhesive. This final appointment is typically brief, lasting around 20 to 30 minutes.

For those looking to expedite the process, Allure Dental Center also offers advanced CEREC technology, which can produce same-day crowns. This state-of-the-art system allows us to prepare and place your crown in a single visit, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and a follow-up appointment.
