Restore the natural brilliance of your teeth with high-quality dental crowns
Do you have a damaged or missing tooth? Brighton Dental can make your smile whole again with dental crowns. Whether it’s one or more teeth, dental crowns in San Diego, California, offer a solid, functional, and realistic-looking option for restoring your smile. To get started with dental crown treatment, schedule an appointment today with Dr. Paige Woods and her team.
How do dental crowns restore teeth?
A dental crown restores your tooth by encapsulating the entire tooth portion above the gum line. This provides your tooth with incredible structural support while enhancing its appearance. Dental crowns have numerous cosmetic and functional uses.Â
Your dentist can use dental crowns to:
- Secure a dental bridge
- Cap off your dental implant
- Reinforce a structurally weakened tooth
- Replace old fillings and onlays
- Aesthetically improve your misshapen or discolored tooth
Dr. Woods places high-quality crowns that fit comfortably and look natural. We owe our superior crowns to technical expertise and high-quality materials. When we crown your smile, you’ll eat, smile, and chew confidently as if you never had tooth damage. Besides, we use biocompatible materials to create your crown. Therefore, you won’t experience sensitivity, inflammation, or other adverse reactions commonly associated with metal restorations.
How are dental crowns placed?
The procedure only requires two convenient appointments with Dr. Woods. The first visit is a consultation to examine your tooth for the suitability of a crown. If you need a crown, the dentist will gently reshape your enamel to accommodate the crown’s thickness. Then, we’ll digitally scan your tooth to create a blueprint for fabricating your restoration. While waiting for your new crown, the dentist will protect your prepared tooth with a temporary crown.
During your second visit, the dentist will remove your temporary crown and inspect the fit of your new crown. If necessary, adjustments will be made until your restoration looks and feels natural. You can now smile, talk, or chew without pain or insecurity.
How long do dental crowns last?Â
Our dental crowns are made from durable materials to withstand everyday dental use. With proper care, they can last 15 years or more. However, it’s worth noting that dental crowns don’t wear out at the same rate. Certain factors like location, oral hygiene, dietary choices, and tooth grinding can affect the longevity of your restoration.Â

How can I prolong the lifespan of my dental crown?
While we restore your smile with premium crowns, good maintenance is vital to ensure your restorations last long and maintain their aesthetic appeal. If you want your crowns to keep feeling and looking healthy, it’s essential to:
- Floss your teeth at least once daily
- Brush your teeth twice every day
- Use a medicated oral rinse
- Avoid chewy, hard, and crunchy foods
- Avoid using your teeth as tools to open or tear packages
- See your dentist for regular cleanings and examinations every six months
- If you engage in contact sports or bruxism, protect your smile with a mouthguard
