What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown can generally fix individual teeth that have sustained a fair amount of tooth decay or damage. Our patient-centered dental office is pleased to provide crown restorations to San Ramon, CA residents to help strengthen and protect the aesthetic portion of a tooth while regenerating its normal size and shape. Dental crowns are custom-crafted to blend beautifully with your natural teeth and are frequently used to restore teeth that are fractured, decayed, malformed, or have other types of oral damage. Dental crowns can also be merged into an appliance to form a dental bridge or positioned over single implants to treat a tooth that has been lost. Reserve an appointment with our San Ramon Family Dental team to discover if a custom-made crown may enhance the quality of your smile.
What Should I Expect During A Dental Crown Procedure?
The crown procedure for San Ramon, CA patients commonly occurs over two office visits. During the initial visit, one of our experienced professionals will anesthetize the tooth and can incorporate sedation dentistry services to increase your comfort if desired. When the damaged area is taken care of, an impression of the prepared tooth will be taken and used by a professional dental lab to create your unique crown. A temporary dental crown will be positioned over the tooth to uphold normal oral function and a natural appearance while your permanent dental crown is being created. You will schedule a follow-up visit at San Ramon Family Dental about 7 – 14 days later to have the temporary crown removed and the new restoration bonded to the tooth or implant.

Are dental crowns natural-looking?
Yes, dental crowns are custom-crafted to blend beautifully with your natural teeth. Our team at San Ramon Family Dental takes great care in choosing the right color and shape of your crown so it looks as seamless as possible. No one should be able to tell that you have a dental crown unless you tell them yourself!
Are there any foods I should avoid with a dental crown?
Generally, you can continue to eat most of the same foods with a dental crown. However, it is important to avoid chewing on hard objects such as pens or ice, as well as extremely sticky or hard foods like taffy or nuts. These can potentially damage the crown and cause it to become loose or even dislodged.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last between 10 and 30 years (or longer) with proper care. This includes maintaining good oral hygiene, visiting our team regularly for check-ups and cleanings, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding, which can put unnecessary stress on the crown. Our patients in San Ramon, CA, have enjoyed the benefits of dental crowns for many years.
