Dental Crowns Northridge

If you have unsightly, broken, or damaged teeth, our Northridge dentist can help you recover your beautiful smile with a dental crown treatment. Crowns not only enhance your appearance, but they also solve many oral health problems caused by unhealthy, ragged, broken, or missing teeth.

Crowns are appliances made of durable materials, such as metal alloys, and coated with porcelain or ceramic for an attractive appearance. Many people opt for dental crowns for treating damaged teeth with the help of our specialist for dental crowns in Northridge. The installation of a crown is a relatively simple procedure, and can be performed with local anesthetic.

For many, dental crowns have been a lifesaver, and the process for getting a crown is relatively easy. On your first visit, our Northridge dental crowns specialist will examine your mouth, check the stability of the damaged tooth and surrounding teeth, and make an assessment of the suitability of a crown for your circumstances. Other oral treatment may be necessary prior to receiving your crown, such as cleanings or repairs to surrounding teeth.

Northridge Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are not only cosmetically appealing, they are worth the investment from an appearance standpoint alone. They also serve a primary health function in covering teeth which may have exposed nerves, roots, or other vulnerable areas. By covering these areas with a crown, you are protecting not only the damaged tooth, but the surrounding teeth, which can be affected by infection and decay as well.

A single dental visit is enough to examine your mouth and determine if crowns are the right solution. If so, our specialist for dental crowns in Northridge will make a cast of your mouth. Pictures will be also taken of your existing teeth. The porcelain crown will be created in a laboratory, and installed on a second visit. The crown is affixed with a form of cement, making it permanent and durable. Periodic checkups will be necessary, but crowns tend to last for a long time before needing any further work.
