3 Benefits of Dental Crowns

If you're unsure whether a dental crown is right for you, Dr. Okamoto and his staff are here for you. We'll take the time to answer your questions and break down what our services entail so that you can make confident dental restoration decisions. Some of the benefits of dental crowns include:

Restoring Damaged Teeth: Although your teeth are durable and can withstand decades of use, they can still be damaged. Everything from an accident to tooth decay can compromise your tooth's enamel and lead to more serious complications like tooth infection. By placing a dental crown over your tooth, you help restore and reinforce it.
Relieving Dental Pain: When one or multiple teeth are damaged, it can cause pain that impacts your well-being in more ways than one. By restoring your teeth with dental crowns, we help provide you with the pain relief you deserve.
Improving Your Tooth's Aesthetics: One of the greatest benefits of crowns is their natural appearance. We take the time to craft each of our dental crowns to match their shade to your remaining teeth for a more natural and seamless look. We have a lab tech that comes out to help make the process easier.

Meeting Your Dental Crown Needs

At the office of Steven K. Okamoto, DDS, Inc., we've spent considerable time and effort to improve our Torrance dental crown services. When you initially visit our office, we'll work to determine if you're an ideal candidate for crowns. Dr. Okamoto will start by conducting a comprehensive oral exam that looks at the condition of your tooth, the gums surrounding it, and the jawbone supporting it.

It's important to note that the process can differ depending on whether you're interested in a traditional or implant-supported option. Once our dentist has determined that a crown is right for you and that your smile is healthy enough for the procedure, we'll move forward with the process. Our two dental crown types include:

Traditional Crowns: Traditional dental crowns are an excellent choice for restoring and improving the condition of a damaged tooth. Dental crowns are caps made to match the appearance and shape of your natural teeth. After removing damaged or decayed material from your tooth, a dental crown is placed directly over your tooth and held in place using professional-grade dental adhesive. It typically takes two appointments to place your crown, as the first is reserved for removing material and placing a temporary crown. Your second appointment is where we'll place your permanent crown and make any adjustments.
Implant-Supported Crowns: Implant-supported crowns are a component of dental implants and replace your tooth from root to crown. The process is different, as your tooth must be gone before we can move forward. Our dental practice offers dental implant placement and can create your beautiful implant-supported restoration. Your implant-supported crown will produce the same visually seamless look as a traditional crown, except that it is anchored to a dental implant post in your jaw.
