Song Cosmetic Dentistry is one of the best options in Beverly Hills, California to learn more about Dental crowns.

Teeth dentistry

A dental crown is a ceramic cover that is specially designed to fit over one of your teeth. Dental crowns cover and protect weaker or broken teeth while also improving the quality of your smile. Dr. Catharine Song of Song Cosmetic Dentistry employs CEREC technology to carefully build your crown so that it looks as natural as possible, almost like a prosthetic front tooth.

There are many benefits to getting dental crowns procedures in Beverly Hills, including dealing with tooth sensitivity and discomfort, the beauty of smile aesthetics, protection and prevention of cracks and bacteria infection in adults,  and other dental aesthetics and functionality issues.

When getting porcelain dental crown dental procedures, dentists will use minimally invasive tehcniques for tooth preparation, and the damaged tooth is completely encased in a dental crown, which is often referred to as a cap. This helps restore or improve the tooth’s size and shape. For most cases, a crown is used for these reasons:

To reinforce and safeguard tooth structure that cannot be restored using fillings, inlays, or onlays
Cover gaps between teeth
Restoration of a bite

There is a selection of crowns materials to choose from. Examples include porcelain crowns, composite resin, zirconia, and metals such as gold or stainless steel alloys. Crowns made of porcelain are the sole kind used at Song Cosmetic Dentistry because they can perfectly mimic the color of your natural teeth, and our doctor specializes in this achieving the best results with this technique. Crowns made of porcelain can last for years if maintenance is strict and they are properly cared for. Dental hygiene is of utmost importance; brushing and flossing are still necessary while caring for porcelain crowns and caps, just as they are with normal teeth. Attention must be paid to your crown as with all of your other teeth, and patients should immediately inform their dentist if they notice any changes or problems in their teeth. Our porcelain crowns are designed to mimic the size, shape, and color of your actual teeth, giving you a smile that is both brilliant and long-lasting. By taking care of your newly placed crowns using proper dental hygiene techniques, you are able to cut down on the need for replacements, compromising the strength of the crown, and minimizing risk and problems in the future. 

Porcelain crown

During your scheduled appointment at our dental practice in Beverly Hills, we will determine whether or not you require porcelain crowns.
When is it OK to use porcelain crowns?

  • Decayed teeth
  • Large or Fractured fillings
  • Broken or fractured teeth
  • Teeth that need root canal surgery or treatment
  • Teeth which root canal was done – If you have had a root canal, she may crown your tooth to avoid future deterioration or damage.
  • After cavities have been cleared
  • Imperfections and other factors

Cosmetic Enhancement

Dr. Song also utilizes dental crowns to conceal flaws such as:

  • Significant discoloration
  • Teeth that are unusually large or shaped
  • Teeth that are twisted or crooked
  • Not aesthetically pleasing enamel or appearance

Dental crowns are also paired with other types of dental procedures like root canals, enamel restorations, sedation dentistry, braces and more. Dr. Song will be able to tell you the best types of materials, the benefits of durability and appearance, the cost, and examples of crown procedures and crown materials when you come in for a free consultation and discuss your problems and goals.

Crown placement

Because of the advanced technology that we have available, we are able to place crowns on the same day in some instances, depending on the materials used, the desired appearance, the functionality needed, and the patients themselves. We will be able to help you explore your different options and results, during your on-site visit, an extensive dental examination, and after a lengthy discussion of your goals. We will also need to cavity clear you and physically look at your teeth as well.

During the first appointment, a dental impression or mold is obtained as a standard procedure. These are going to be incorporated into the production of bespoke porcelain crowns. A tooth crown for temporary wear is also carved. Following the removal of your temporary crown, the permanent crown will be fabricated by our Master Dental Ceramist at our top-tier cosmetic dentistry dental lab, which we partner with for all of our porcelain materials construction like dental bridges, veneers, and porcelain crowns. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the teeth as well as the gums before installing a crown. Dr. Catharine Song will remove any decay and reshape the surface of the tooth while the patient is under local anesthesia.

Following the completion of these preparations, the temporary crown will be cemented into place, and your bite will be evaluated. This allows Dr. Song to evaluate the function of your tooth, and the area and material needed to best perfect the restoration of your bite and tooth. At the second session, the temporary crown will be removed, and the underlying tooth will be cleaned.

Dr. Song will then place your crown, onlay, or inlay after he has completed all of the necessary preparations. Before putting the so-called “permanent” glue, they will evaluate the spacing and the bite patterns. You will be provided with care instructions and encouraged to schedule frequent dental visits in order to maintain the health of both your natural teeth and the new restorations. Dental crowns can also be used in conjunction with implants, orthodontics, veneers, oral surgery, cavity treatments, and teeth whitening, in adult and pediatric patients.

Is it painful?

Dr. Song has developed a painless method for placing porcelain dental crowns . You won’t feel any pain during the process of having your teeth cleaned and prepared. An topical anesthetic will be used to numb your gums and allow for an injected lidocaine solution to number the nerves in your jaw, which results in a virtually painless procedure, especially when clearing out tooth decay, minimizing bacteria to prevent infection, isolating dental imperfections, and preparing the tooth surface for a crown placement.

Typically, dental crowns are also part of the slew of services associated with getting a full mouth reconstruction or smile makeover, which include composite dental veneers, porcelain veneers, Invisalign and implants.

Many patients report that they do have extra sensitivity to hot or cold beverages in the area where the crown was placed, and that the gum line and face might be a little bit sore. This is completely normal
