Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns

Suppose you are experiencing tooth decay, chipped or cracked tooth, or simply want to improve the appearance of your smile. In that case, dental crowns may be the perfect solution. Dental crowns can restore strength, functionality, and aesthetics, making them a popular and effective restorative dentistry treatment option. At the office of Kiran Chaudhri, DMD, in Pleasant Hill, we specialize in creating beautiful and durable crowns to restore your teeth’ health, appearance, and function.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps or coverings Dr. Chaudhri places over a damaged or weakened tooth. Our dental team carefully creates your crown to match the natural size, shape, and color of your teeth and provide protection, enhance functionality, and improve the appearance of your smile.

Crowns are a popular treatment choice for patients who experience significant decay or chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth. Our dentist in Pleasant Hill, Dr. Kiran Chaudhri, also uses crowns for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy or those with a dental implant.

Types of Crowns

Various dental crowns are available, and your Pleasant Hill dentist, Dr. Chaudhri, will recommend the best option based on your needs, preferences, and oral health goals. Common types of crowns include:

• Ceramic Crowns: Made from high-quality porcelain, ceramic crowns blend with your other teeth giving a natural appearance. They are ideal for front teeth.
• Metal Crowns: This type of crown is made of gold or alloy, making them durable and long-lasting. Metal crowns are often used on molars that endure heavy chewing pressure.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the appearance of porcelain to offer both durability and a natural look.
