Dental Crowns in Villa Park, CA
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling to fix, a crown restores its strength, shape, and function.
Who This Is For
Crowns are typically recommended when a cavity is too large for a standard filling, a tooth is cracked or fractured, or a tooth has been treated with a root canal and needs long-term protection. Your dentist will let you know if a crown is the right fit after an exam.
What Happens During Treatment
The tooth is shaped to make room for the crown, and an impression is taken to create a custom fit. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent porcelain crown is made, and a follow-up visit is used to place and adjust the final crown.
Caring for a Crown
- Brush and floss around it like a natural tooth
- Avoid chewing very hard items (ice, hard candy) on it
- Keep up with regular check-ups to monitor fit
Most PPO plans may cover up to 50% of crown treatment. See our full fee schedule. No dental insurance? Ask about our membership plan, which may include a discount on additional treatment.
Common Questions
How long does the crown process take?
It typically takes two visits: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, and a follow-up to fit and cement the permanent porcelain crown once it's ready.
Will my insurance cover a crown?
Many PPO plans cover a portion of crown treatment, often up to 50%. We accept most PPO plans and offer CareCredit financing — see our fees page for details.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes. A root canal-treated tooth can become more brittle over time, and a crown helps protect it from cracking under normal biting pressure.
