What is Dental Crowns

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns, sometimes called caps, are protective restorations that cover the entire surface of your visible tooth structure. Our dentist uses them when teeth are too worn or damaged to keep functioning normally, or when a smaller restoration such as a filling is inadequate. A crown reinforces what remains of your natural tooth and keeps the damage from getting any worse. Advanced ceramic materials are crafted to look as natural as possible beside the teeth on either side. CEREC crowns match in color and durability and can be secured in a single visit, with no temporary crown and no lengthy wait.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Improved Function

A fixed dental crown recreates your entire visible tooth surface, delivering both the function and the cosmetic benefits that worn or broken teeth genuinely require.

Natural Aesthetics

Advanced ceramic materials are crafted to look as natural as they possibly can, blending in easily with the neighboring teeth that sit on either side of your crown.

Lasting Durability

With the right daily care at home, you can expect that a well-maintained dental crown will last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and frequently a good deal longer.

Structural Support

A crown reinforces whatever healthy tooth structure you have left, and it may be the last real opportunity to save a tooth that has been severely decayed or badly damaged.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Exam

    We take a small X-ray of the tooth to determine the full extent of the damage or wear that is present before we recommend anything to you at all.

  2. 02

    Treatment Discussion

    Our dentist reviews the best available options for restoring your tooth and explains whether a dental crown is one of the very best choices for you.

  3. 03

    Crown Preparation

    We numb the tooth, adjust the shape of your enamel, and remove any damaged structure before taking a detailed impression of the whole tooth.

  4. 04

    Shade Matching

    A shade guide helps us match the color and select the right materials, and a temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent one is made.

  5. 05

    Final Placement

    About two weeks later, the permanent crown is bonded into place, and then we check the final fit and make any adjustments wherever they are needed.

Signs You May Need Dental Crowns

Cracked Tooth

Structural damage such as a chipped or broken tooth after an injury usually calls for the full coverage that only a dental crown can provide.

Deep Decay

Aggressive tooth decay involving a large area of the tooth leaves far too little structure for a simple filling to hold securely in position.

Root Canal

You recently completed endodontic therapy, and a crown reinforces the remaining tooth structure so that it does not fracture at a later date.

Severe Wear

Years of grinding have worn your teeth down, or a tooth is misshapen, atypical, or so severely discolored that whitening simply cannot fix it.

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “My first visit to Gardena Dental Group was most pleasant. I was fearful because I am not a fan of needles, drills or that burning smell that lingers after root canals and crowns. In spite of this, I was assured by a wise woman who had been a patient for several years - along with her husband -, that this would be, "The BEST Decision I Would Make Today." Thankfully, she was right 💐 Upon arrival, I was assisted by Jessica who aided me through the paperwork as well as my treatment plan and next appointment. Soon after completing the paperwork, I was called in for my x-rays and consultation. I was elated to hear that I only needed a permanent crown (to replace the temporary one I had from a previous dental procedure) and a filling on the opposite side. Tatiana and Dr. Tounian were Knowledgeable and Compassionate throughout my consultation; this made it easy to ask questions about the treatment plan and how to continue keeping my smile healthy and bright 😁 My second visit was even better than the first. I was taken through the procedures I was to have, asked if I had any questions or concerns, then the assistant made preparations for the Doctor to work his magic 🪄 I was elated by the timely manner, professionalism and care taken by the entire Dental Team (knowing how nervous I was about the needle - for numbing the area - and the drill for the crown & filling). I fell asleep a few times during the process, that's how comfortable I was 😊 I look forward to returning to get fitted for my permanent crown and later my mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. I Love My New Dentist and His Extraordinary Team ✨” — ALIKANDRIA

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I came here to fix my crown but it wasn’t able to be fixed. So they suggested 3 options: Dental implant, bridge, or a retainer with a tooth.

I’m very thankful I had Vanessa to help with payments and Abigail for making me feel welcome. Thank you Gardena Dental Group.” — Abigail

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I've been going there for almost 10 years now. Myself and my 2 kids. It took awhile to find a great dentist that I was comfortable with.

I highly recommend them, and if you're looking for a great dentist for you and/or your family, look no further.” — Ryan

How long do dental crowns last?

On average, a well-maintained dental crown lasts at least 10 to 15 years. Crowns lasting 20 years or more with good home care are not unheard of.

Does it hurt to get a dental crown?

Getting a crown is about as comfortable as having a routine filling, since we use numbing medications before making any adjustments. Sedation is available on request, and minor soreness at the injection site is to be expected.

Why is my tooth sensitive after a crown?

The nerve responds to your enamel being reshaped during the preparation phase, so heightened sensitivity is natural. Symptoms are usually temporary and improve within days or weeks of the permanent crown being placed.

How much do dental crowns in Gardena, CA, cost?

The fee varies with the type of material, the number of crowns you need, and whether a tooth requires a build-up beforehand. The average fee ranges between $500 and $2,000 per tooth.

Does insurance cover dental crowns in Gardena, CA?

Insurance benefits can reduce the price of your new cap, though the amount varies from plan to plan. We provide detailed treatment plans outlining all fees, estimated benefits, and optional financing.
