Dental Crowns

Dental crowns (also known as caps) are a covering used to sheath the entire tooth creating a new surface that resembles the size, shape and color of the original tooth. They are also used to protect and enhanced the stability of a tooth that is unable to be rebuilt using fillings or surface restorations.

Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, strives for excellence in his practice. His dental crowns are as natural looking as one’s own teeth with a beauty that emanates from its design.

Crowns are custom made to fit over existing tooth structure and are highly durable, lasting for many, many years. Although they are made from a variety of materials depending on where they are placed in the mouth, porcelain, which is made to closely resemble natural tooth color, is the most widely used material. Gold or porcelain-covered gold is used on molars, where the majority of strength is needed in the mouth.

Most often crowns are used to reconstruct broken or fractured teeth and are also used for cosmetic enhancement when teeth are discolored or gapped, when a filling is too large to simply be filled or for protection after a root canal.
