Dental Crowns in Pico Rivera
A tooth that is broken, damaged, or in general poor condition can be harmful to your health. It can also affect feeling comfortable about your tooth and your self-confidence.
Dental crowns are almost exactly the way they sound – a crown, or cap, for your tooth. Dental crowns help restore a tooth– resulting in a truly aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Here are some of the reasons you need a dental crown:
Reasons for crowns:
- Tooth that is broken or fractured.
- Decayed teeth.
- Cosmetic Benefits.
- Large or Fractured fillings.
- Root canal.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, cracked, or heavily decayed tooth, restoring both its strength and its natural appearance. Crowns are one of the most common ways to save a tooth that's too damaged for a simple filling but doesn't need to be extracted.
Crowns are typically made from tooth-colored materials designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, and with proper care can last 10–15 years or longer.

Restore Your Smile Today
Crowns also replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow dentists to restore form and function to your tooth without needing to perform an extraction. It is always best to save as much real tooth/enamel as possible.
The Dental Crown Placement Process
This process begins with a consult and exam where we develop a plan for you. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to placement of the crown.
Once the impressions are ready for your tooth, we place the crown for a proper fit. Once your crown is fitted appropriately, you can again be confident about your dental health and your amazing smile.
