Custom Dental Crown & Restorations

At Thousand Oaks Dentistry, we pursue excellence by providing restorations that perfectly mimic the look, feel, and function of your natural smile. If you are struggling with severe decay or extensive damage to a tooth, a custom dental crown offers a top-quality, durable solution. We prioritize precision in every dental crown we craft, ensuring your restored tooth is as strong as it is beautiful. 

Restore Cracked Or Damaged Teeth

A dental crown serves as a “cap” for a cracked, damaged or weakened tooth that cannot be repaired by a dental filling or bonding. A crown (sometimes called a tooth cap) covers all visible surfaces of the affected tooth and can be customized to match your natural smile in color, size and shape. At Thousand Oaks Dentistry, we have dentists who are exceptionally trained in general, restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Therefore, we understand the value in creating a dental crown that restores the health and strength of the tooth, as well as its attractive appearance.

Why You May Need a Dental Crown

• Protect a weak tooth from breaking.
• Restore an already broken or severely worn-down tooth.
• Cover and support a tooth with a large filling.
• Hold a dental bridge in place.
• Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.

The Dental Crown Process

• Preparation: We prepare the tooth and take a digital impression.
• Temporary Crown: You receive a temporary crown while your custom one is crafted.
• Final Placement: We bond your permanent dental crown for a perfect, lasting fit.

Dental Inlays And Onlays

There are times in which a tooth becomes damaged or injured more than what a dental filling can repair. However, it isn’t damaged enough to warrant a full dental crown. In such cases, we may recommend a dental inlay or onlay. These are special restorations that act similarly to a dental filling, yet they are uniquely designed for the chewing surfaces of the back molars. An inlay fits just inside the cusps of the tooth, while an onlay is a bit larger and extends over the cusps. You can trust that we will carefully explain your treatment options in detail before moving forward.
