Restore Damaged Teeth with Durable, Tooth-Colored Crowns

If you have a tooth that’s broken, severely worn down, or weakened from decay or root canal therapy, a dental crown can restore its strength, function, and appearance. At Elevated Dentistry in Walnut Creek, we design and place custom porcelain and ceramic crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth — protecting your oral health while preserving your smile.

Our dentists take a conservative, precision-based approach to restorative care, using high-quality materials that are built to last. Whether you need to repair a single tooth or replace an old crown, we’re here to help you smile with comfort and confidence.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown (also called a cap) is a tooth-shaped covering that fully encases the visible part of a damaged or compromised tooth. Crowns are designed to restore:

• Cracked or fractured teeth
  
• Large cavities that can’t be filled
  
• Teeth weakened by root canal therapy
• Worn or broken teeth
  
• Misshapen or discolored teeth
  
• Support for dental bridges or implants

We use strong, aesthetic materials like porcelain and ceramic to ensure your restoration functions well and looks completely natural.

Signs You May Need a Crown

• Tooth pain when biting or chewing
  
• A cracked or fractured tooth
  
• A large filling that’s failing
  
• Severe enamel wear or erosion
  
• A tooth that’s structurally compromised after a root canal
  

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, we’ll assess whether a crown is the right solution — or if a more conservative option, like dental bonding or a filling, could be effective.

What Are Crowns Made Of?

At Elevated Dentistry, we use:

• Porcelain Crowns – Lifelike, translucent, and ideal for front teeth
  
• Ceramic Crowns – Metal-free, strong, and great for patients with allergies or for use on molars
  

We no longer use traditional metal or metal-fused crowns for front teeth due to aesthetic limitations. All crowns are carefully color-matched to your surrounding teeth.

If you’re replacing an old crown or restoration, ask us about crown restoration options to improve both function and aesthetics.

The Crown Process at Elevated Dentistry

1. Initial Exam & Imaging
   We examine the tooth and take digital scans or X-rays to assess damage.
   
2. Tooth Preparation
   A small portion of enamel is removed to make space for the crown.
   
3. Impressions & Shade Matching
   We take digital impressions and choose a shade that matches your natural teeth.
   
4. Temporary Crown
   You’ll wear a temporary crown while the lab crafts your final restoration.
   
5. Crown Placement
   At your follow-up visit, we permanently cement your new crown and adjust for a precise fit.
   

Every crown is custom-made for durability, function, and esthetics — so you can chew, smile, and speak with full confidence.
