Dental Crowns

Restoring damaged teeth

Dental crowns are a common restorative treatment used in dentistry to repair damaged teeth. They are prosthetic devices that are placed over the damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Casita Dental, we offer high-quality dental crowns to restore your teeth and enhance your smile. Visits us in Ventura, CA.

Before placing a dental crown, Gina Gonzalez, DDS will examine your tooth to determine if a crown is necessary. If a crown is recommended, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom-fit crown.

At Casita Dental, we use a variety of materials for our dental crowns, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular because they can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your other teeth. Metal alloy crowns are also a durable and long-lasting option.

Once your custom-fit crown is created, your dentist will place it over your damaged tooth, cementing it in place. The crown will provide protection for your damaged tooth, prevent further decay, and restore your ability to bite and chew with ease.

It's important to care for your dental crown just as you would your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as regular dental check-ups, can help prolong the life of your dental crown.
