Dental Crowns

Welcome to Pearls & Teeth, your trusted dental practice in Pleasanton, CA, led by the experienced Dr. Madhure. We take pride in offering top-quality dental crowns as a versatile and effective solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. As a local dentist in Pleasanton, we understand the importance of providing personalized care to our patients, and dental crowns are one of the key services we offer to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.

Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged teeth or implants. They are highly recommended for teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, weakened, discolored, or misshapen. Our dental crowns are crafted with precision and can be made from a variety of high-quality materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, and composite resin. We carefully select the most suitable material based on your unique needs and preferences, ensuring both durability and a natural-looking appearance.

At Pearls & Teeth, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction. Our dental crown procedure typically involves two visits to our office. During your initial visit, Dr. Madhure will expertly prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown. We will take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit for your custom-made crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated in a reputable dental lab, we will provide you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain your oral health.

Once your permanent crown is ready, we will schedule your second visit for its placement. Dr. Madhure will skillfully position the crown over your prepared tooth, ensuring a secure fit and natural-looking result. Our team will use high-quality dental cement to bond the crown in place, providing long-lasting protection and restoration for your damaged tooth.

Dental crowns are not only an excellent option for restoring damaged teeth but also for enhancing the appearance of your smile. If you have a damaged or decayed tooth or wish to improve the overall appearance of your smile, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Madhure at our Pleasanton office. During your consultation, we will discuss your specific needs and goals, providing you with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your oral health.

A dental crown may be needed under the following Situations/Scenarios that may require a Dental Crown :

Dental crowns serve various purposes and can be used in a range of situations to address specific dental concerns. Here are some common scenarios where dental crowns are an ideal solution:

  1. Protect a weak tooth from breaking: If you have a tooth that has been weakened due to decay or damage, a dental crown can be placed over the tooth to provide an additional layer of protection, preventing it from breaking.

  2. Hold together parts of a cracked tooth: Dental crowns are effective in holding together the different parts of a cracked tooth, preventing further damage and restoring strength to the tooth.

  3. Restore a broken tooth: If you have a tooth that has been broken or severely worn down, a dental crown can restore its shape, size, and strength, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably.

  4. Cover and support a tooth with a large filling: Teeth with large fillings are prone to fractures. A dental crown can cover the filling, providing added support and protecting the tooth from further damage.

  5. Hold a dental bridge in place or cover a dental implant: If you have a missing tooth and are undergoing a dental bridge or implant procedure, a dental crown can be used to hold the bridge or cover the implant, providing stability and functionality.

  6. Cosmetic modification for misshapen or discolored teeth: Dental crowns can also serve cosmetic purposes by covering misshapen or discolored teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile and boosting your confidence.

If you are experiencing any of the situations mentioned above or are interested in learning more about dental crowns and their suitability for your dental needs, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team at Pearls & Teeth.

Types of crowns

At Pearls & Teeth, we are committed to offering a range of crown options tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of our patients. Our goal is to provide you with the most suitable crown option that will not only restore the function of your tooth but also enhance its appearance.

For cosmetic purposes, ceramic and porcelain crowns are the most commonly chosen options. These crowns are renowned for their natural appearance and ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, creating a beautiful, harmonious smile.

If you’re looking for an affordable and efficient option, resin crowns may be a suitable choice. These crowns can be placed in a single visit, saving you time and providing a convenient solution for restoring your damaged tooth.

In certain cases, such as temporary restorations for children or primary teeth, stainless steel crowns are typically used. These crowns are durable and can effectively protect the tooth until it naturally falls out.

During your consultation with Dr. Veena, she will carefully assess your dental condition and take into account several factors, including the location of the tooth, the amount of natural tooth remaining, and your individual needs and preferences. She will thoroughly discuss the advantages and considerations of each crown option, addressing any questions or concerns you may have. This collaborative approach will empower you to make an informed decision about your treatment plan.

Procedure

At Pearls & Teeth in Pleasanton, we understand that the process of getting a dental crown can be a concern for some patients. Rest assured, we prioritize your comfort and strive to make the entire procedure as smooth and pain-free as possible.

After preparing your tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to accommodate the crown, Dr. Veena will take precise impressions of the tooth and surrounding teeth. These impressions will be sent to a trusted dental lab where your custom-made crown will be meticulously crafted. While your permanent crown is being created, we will provide you with a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth until your next appointment.

During your second appointment, Dr. Veena will carefully remove the temporary crown and check the fit of the permanent crown. If everything looks good, she will use dental cement to permanently attach the crown to your tooth. Final adjustments will be made to ensure a proper fit and bite, ensuring your comfort and functionality.

To ensure your utmost comfort throughout the crown procedure, we utilize local anesthesia during the tooth preparation stage. Additionally, we offer various amenities, including headphones, blankets, and pillows, to help you feel relaxed and at ease during your visit.

Following the placement of your crown, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits and attend regular dental checkups. Brushing and flossing your teeth, including the crowned tooth, is crucial to maintain the health of your crown and surrounding teeth. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on proper care and hygiene practices to prolong the lifespan of your crown.

At Pearls & Teeth, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care and ensuring your satisfaction with your dental crown. If you have any questions or concerns about your crown or need further assistance, our friendly team is just a phone call away.
