When are Dental Crowns Necessary?


A dental crown is a special type of restoration that can provide long-term strength and stability to a tooth. It is stronger and more durable than a dental filling, but it is also a more extensive treatment that requires more preparation. Our emergency dentist in Los Angeles may suggest a dental crown if your tooth has been severely damaged, decayed or otherwise compromised.

When do you need a dental crown?

1. When a tooth is cracked or broken
2. When a tooth has had a root canal treatment
3. When a tooth has a large dental filling
4. When a lost tooth has been replaced with a dental implant
5. When a tooth is being replaced with a dental bridge

To place a crown, you will likely need two dental visits. The tooth will be prepared at the first visit, and at the second visit, the crown will be bonded to the tooth. We design your crown to match your natural teeth beautifully and to blend flawlessly into your smile. Crowns can last many years and can keep your teeth strong, healthy and functional. Call us today to find out more or to schedule your appointment with our expert in emergency dental crowns in Los Angeles.
