Crowns
At Pomona Dental Group, our custom-made dental crowns are a vital part of our restorative dentistry services. Designed to protect and strengthen damaged teeth, a crown acts as a "cap" that restores the shape, size, and appearance of your natural tooth while providing lasting protection against further decay or fracture.
When Do You Need a Crown?
As we highlight in our guide on handling a broken tooth, a crown is often the best solution when a tooth has suffered significant structural damage.
- Significant Breaks: If a tooth is fractured or has a large piece missing, a crown provides the structural integrity needed to save it.
- Lost Restorations: When a large filling or an old crown is lost, the underlying tooth is vulnerable. We can create a new, perfectly fitted crown to restore it.
- Post-Root Canal: After a root canal, a crown is typically placed to protect the tooth from cracking, as the tooth becomes more brittle after treatment.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of severely discolored or misshapen teeth.
The "Golden Hour" of Tooth Restoration
When a tooth breaks or a crown falls off, time is of the essence. While some minor chips can be managed with bonding, significant breaks require a durable restoration like a crown to prevent infection. Bacteria can quickly reach the pulp of a damaged tooth, leading to an abscess if not treated promptly.
