Ask Our Dentist about Dental Crowns in Escondido, CA
Many patients find restorative dental crowns in Escondido a minimally invasive long-term solution for problematic teeth.
Dentists use crowns to cover damaged teeth with customized materials or metal alloys like gold or porcelain. Crowns restore function and address problems with shape, appearance, and alignment. Crowns are minimally invasive and save the core and root of the affected tooth.
Dental Crown Procedure
The dentist assesses the extent of tooth damage before placing any dental crown. Using x-rays and digital technology, the dentist can assess the damage. After that, the process can begin.
The dentist will apply an anesthetic and file down the damaged tooth to create space for the crown. An impression of your teeth will be made to design a custom crown. During a later visit, the dentist will cement the crown into your mouth, allowing you to have full use of your teeth again.
Crowns Solve Problems Including:
Replace a large filling:
Dentists cap large decay areas or teeth weakened by old fillings to prevent further damage.
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing:
A crown restores the remaining healthy portion of a cracked or broken tooth, ensuring long-term function.

Cover a dental implant:
Crowns are a long-lasting replacement for a lost tooth. When made to secure to a dental implant, the patient will have a fully functioning restorative device that mimics the original tooth from root to tip.
Cover a discolored or misshaped tooth:
A crown will improve the cosmetic appearance if the problem is too severe for less intrusive treatments.

After root canal therapy to preserve the remaining tooth.

Benefits to Gold and Porcelain Dental Crowns in Escondido
1
Gold Crowns –
Gold crowns provide strength in function and durability. Dentists often use gold in molars at the back of the mouth, as they prefer it for its durability and ability to avoid wearing down opposing teeth. For this reason, it is commonly used for patients with powerful bites or tendencies to grind their teeth or clench their jaw. Gold’s strength supports the remaining healthy tooth and can last for several decades.
2
Porcelain Crowns –
Porcelain is a strong material that offers well-fitting and natural-looking crowns. Campbell Dental Arts offers porcelain crowns to its Escondido patients who are looking for a natural smile that mimics a natural tooth in appearance, luminosity, and feel. Porcelain crowns are highly durable and produce a beautiful smile, often said to be indistinguishable from natural teeth.
