Dental Crowns and Bridges in Sunnyvale, CA
If your teeth are decayed, broken, worn, or missing, Dr. Neri Lubomirsky and Dr. Donald Call offer high-quality all-porcelain crowns and bridges at our Sunnyvale, CA, dental office. We use premium dental materials and work with only the most reliable custom dental labs to create tooth restorations that are strong, durable, and designed to look like a real tooth.
Why We Recommend Dental Crowns in Sunnyvale
Dental crowns in Sunnyvale are also referred to as "caps" because they cover and protect a tooth like a little helmet. Our dentists would recommend a crown for additional strength when a tooth is so compromised that a filling isn't sufficient to protect its structure. Some examples are:
- Restore a tooth with significant decay
- Support a broken or cracked tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
If you need tooth restoration, the first step is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Neri or Dr. Call, who will evaluate your needs. They will perform an exam, take x-rays, and use an intraoral camera to get a magnified view of the tooth that they then share with you. We like keeping our patients informed, and using intraoral cameras allows you to see what our dentist sees to help you understand why they recommend treatment.
Steps for Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown in Sunnyvale takes place over two visits to Spruce Dental. At the first visit, we alter the shape and size of the tooth so the crown will fit perfectly, then take dental impressions.
We then help you select the ideal white shade for the restoration to ensure that it looks natural and matches your surrounding teeth. We use all-porcelain for our crowns because it is durable and stands up beautifully to normal use. Porcelain also has a translucent appearance similar to natural tooth enamel, and its smooth surface is resistant to staining.
You deserve the best, and we work exclusively with the top custom dental labs in our area. Skilled technicians fabricate your crown to our specifications, which takes two to three weeks. When it’s ready, we’ll have you return to our Sunnyvale, CA, dental office, where we’ll adjust your final crown for a perfect fit, polish it, and cement it securely to the tooth.
