When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened, dental crowns restore its strength, function, and appearance. At Dental Plus Tarzana, we create custom dental crowns that look natural, feel comfortable, and protect your tooth for years to come, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers a damaged tooth above the gum line. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth. It restores the tooth's size, shape, strength, and appearance while preventing further damage. Crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need to be extracted. Whether your tooth is cracked, broken, severely decayed, or weakened from a root canal, a crown can save it and restore full function.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers a damaged tooth above the gum line, restoring its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns protect teeth that are cracked, broken, severely decayed, weakened by root canal treatment, or worn down from grinding.
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, we prepare your tooth, take impressions, and place a temporary crown. At the second visit, about 2-3 weeks later, we remove the temporary crown and permanently cement your custom crown in place.
Dental crown costs vary based on the material used and your insurance coverage. Most insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs, especially when medically necessary. We provide detailed cost estimates during your consultation and work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.
With proper care including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding and chewing ice helps maximize your crown's longevity.
