What Our Clients Say
Dental crowns are caps that can be made out of porcelain, zirconia, or gold. They cover and protect damaged or decayed part of the tooth. Whether large or small, a crown is molded to fit over the tooth and resembles its natural enamel. Crowns are used to save and restore the tooth’s appearance and protect your remaining healthy teeth from becoming damaged in any way. Dental Line specializes in all dental work needs, our dentist has a lot of experience placing crowns and managing patients who already have them. Located on Ventura Blvd, Encino, Los Angeles, CA, we service the following areas: Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, and Reseda.
Crowns are available in many materials, including gold, porcelain, and zirconia. The material used for your crown will depend on several factors, such as your biocompatibility with crown material as well as your financial circumstances.
During a crown procedure, our dentist takes an impression of your damaged tooth or teeth and sends it to a dental lab. A dental lab technician creates a custom-fit crown for you using porcelain, zirconia, or other materials. The permanent crowns are then attached to your existing tooth by cementing it or placing screws or posts in the remaining tooth structure. This process can take anywhere from one hour to several hours, depending on the crown size and how much work needs to be done.
Porcelain crowns can provide several benefits to your smile, including:
Aesthetic enhancement: Porcelain crowns can improve the appearance of your tooth and help to restore it to its natural form. Porcelain is the most popular material for dental crowns because it mimics the look and feel of natural enamel.
Durability: Dental crowns are designed to last for years, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking or falling off. When properly cared for, porcelain crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years before replacement.
Protection: Dental crowns protect damaged teeth from further decay, which may require additional treatment such as root canal therapy or extraction.
Crowns can be made out of porcelain or metal. Porcelain is stronger than a metal crown but more expensive. The color of porcelain will match your natural teeth, while a metal crown cannot match your color exactly.
The cost of a porcelain crown largely depends on the type of material used to create the crown. Porcelain crowns are often more expensive than all-ceramic or metal-free crowns. The cost of porcelain dental crowns may be $800 to $3,000. The treatment may also be more expensive if you need additional work with the crown. For example, if you need root canal therapy before having a crown placed, that will add to the overall cost of your treatment.
Metal crowns are your best option if you need a dental crown but don’t have insurance. They’re affordable and last for many years if properly cared for. Metal-crown restorations are often referred to as “all-metal crowns” or “metal-ceramic crowns” because they include metal and ceramic materials in their construction. Metal-ceramic dental restorations are durable and can last up to 20 years or more with proper care and maintenance.
