Dental Crowns in La Verne, CA
Restore Strength, Shape, and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or weakened by decay, a dental crown offers a durable and natural-looking solution. At Pearl Dental Group, we provide high-quality, custom dental crowns for patients in La Verne, Claremont, and San Dimas — helping restore both function and appearance to your smile.
Our crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are designed to last for many years with proper care.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It reinforces structure, restores function, and improves aesthetics, especially when a tooth is too compromised for a filling or dental bonding alone.
We recommend crowns for:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth with large fillings that are failing
- Severe decay or wear
- Post-root canal therapy
- Covering dental implants
- Cosmetic enhancements in a smile makeover
Crowns not only restore strength and durability but also improve the overall shape, color, and alignment of your tooth.
Types of Crowns We Offer
At Pearl Dental Group, we offer several crown materials depending on your needs:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns – Ideal for front teeth, offering excellent aesthetics and color matching
- Zirconia Crowns – Highly durable, biocompatible, and tooth-colored for strength and beauty
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – A strong option for back teeth where durability is essential
During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right material based on tooth location, bite strength, and cosmetic goals.
What to Expect During a Crown Procedure
- Initial Evaluation
We assess the tooth, take digital X-rays, and determine whether a crown is the best option. - Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is shaped to make room for the crown. Impressions or digital scans are taken to create a perfect custom fit. - Temporary Crown
A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent one is crafted at the lab. - Crown Placement
At your follow-up visit, we place and adjust your final crown, ensuring proper fit, bite, and color.
Your crown is bonded permanently and functions just like a natural tooth — allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding (we offer occlusal guards) or chewing on hard objects can further extend their lifespan.
FAQs About Dental Crowns
Is a crown the same as a cap?
Yes — the terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to a protective cover placed over a damaged tooth.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No — we use local anesthesia during the procedure, and most patients report little to no discomfort.
Will my crown look natural?
Absolutely. We color-match your crown to your existing teeth for a seamless appearance.
Do I always need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes — a crown strengthens and protects the tooth after root canal therapy.
Is a crown covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover crowns when they are medically necessary. We’ll help you navigate your benefits and explore financing options if needed.
