In the world of dentistry, the ultimate goal is to create work that is indistinguishable from natural teeth. At Signature Dental, we pride ourselves on achieving this with our crowns and fillings. Our expertise lies in transforming dental restorations into pieces of art that blend seamlessly with your smile, are comfortable, and last a lifetime.
When damage to teeth seems beyond repair, our team turns to the transformative power of porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns. This advanced technique can restore even the most severely compromised teeth, offering a renewed smile that looks as good as new. Whether you need to replace missing teeth or repair extensive damage, our crowns deliver both aesthetic beauty and functional strength.
Dental crowns in Beverly Hills are custom-made caps designed to cover and restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth. Made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, crowns are crafted to match the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. These crowns encase the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing a robust and aesthetically pleasing solution for teeth that have suffered significant damage. Crowns are a versatile dental restoration, offering both functional and cosmetic benefits to enhance and protect your teeth.
Our reputation for excellence is built on the remarkable changes we create using the technology of our crown applications. Dental crowns are not just a quick fix but a long-lasting solution. These treatments typically endure for 20 to 30 years, providing a nearly permanent solution to major dental issues.
With Signature Dental, you can expect crown restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth, ensuring your smile remains beautiful and undetectably enhanced for decades.
Dental crowns in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles offer numerous advantages for your teeth’ health and appearance. Here are some key benefits:
Dental crowns are a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of dental issues. The best candidates for dental crowns include:
a highly reliable solution
Crown and bridgework offers a highly reliable solution for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. These techniques can correct significant issues effectively, using materials like high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. The strength of these materials makes them ideal for addressing the most serious dental problems. When accidental damage results in lost teeth or broken due to excessive wear or old fillings, dental crowns and bridges provide a durable, long-term solution.
Many individuals experience unexplained pain in filled back teeth, often due to hairline cracks in the chewing surface. Placing crowns on these teeth can relieve pain and restore full dental function. For front teeth, older fillings can weaken the teeth and cause aesthetic issues like staining or chipping. In such cases, porcelain crowns and bridges are preferable to porcelain veneers. Additionally, crowns are crucial for teeth with root canal fillings, as they help prevent breakage, ensuring the longevity and health of the treated tooth.
The day of your dental crowns in Beverly Hills will begin with a warm welcome. Your comfort during any of our procedures is a top priority. The procedure begins with numbing the area around the affected tooth using a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Once numb, Dr. Costescu will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. This involves removing a portion of the tooth structure to make room for the crown.
After the tooth is prepared, an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth will be taken. This can be done using a scanner or a traditional dental impression material.
These impressions are used to create a custom crown that fits perfectly over your prepared tooth. While your permanent crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown will be placed over the prepared tooth to protect it.
During your second appointment, which is usually scheduled a few weeks later, the temporary crown is removed. The permanent crown is then fitted onto your tooth. Dr. Costescu will check the fit, color, and bite to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable. Once the crown meets the required specifications, it is permanently cemented into place. After the permanent crown is securely in place, Dr. Costescu will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is even and comfortable.
After receiving a dental crown, recovery is generally straightforward and comfortable. Initially, you may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages, but this should subside within a few days as your tooth adjusts to the new crown. For the first 24 to 48 hours, it’s best to avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods to prevent dislodging or damaging the temporary crown and stick to softer foods instead. Maintaining your regular brushing and flossing routine is crucial, though you should be gentle around the crowned tooth, especially if it has a temporary crown.
