What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown brings strength back to a damaged tooth. At Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles in San Diego and Vista, CA, our team provides precise, high-quality crowns that blend naturally with your smile. A tooth crown is a protective cap that restores a tooth's function and appearance. It is used when a tooth is weak, broken, or severely decayed. Common signs you need a dental crown include:
- A large cavity that a filling cannot fix
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A worn-down tooth due to grinding
- A root canal-treated tooth needing extra protection
- A misshapen or discolored tooth
There are different types of dental crowns, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal-based options. Schedule a consultation at our San Diego or Vista, CA office to find the right option for you.
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
The dental crown procedure is simple. First, our team reshapes the tooth and takes an impression to create a custom crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent one is crafted. Once ready, the final crown is placed and adjusted for a secure, natural fit. Healing is quick with little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal eating and speaking within a day. Proper care includes brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits to maintain the crown's longevity.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?
A crown restores both function and appearance, making it easier to eat and smile with confidence. Tooth crowns offer long-lasting solutions for damaged or weakened teeth and the following benefits:
- Protects and strengthens weak teeth
- Restores a crown on the molar for proper chewing
- Improves the shape and color of a tooth
- Covers and protects a tooth after a root canal
- Enhances overall oral health
Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
