Dental Crowns Overview
Quality dental crowns in Burbank will restore cracked or damaged teeth to improve your appearance
Crowns are one of the most durable restorations in dental procedures. In terms of frequency of use by dentists, crowns are second only to resin fillings for the most common of dental procedures. A crown will restore your tooth to its original shape and completely cover the visible part of the tooth. A tooth crown does not replace your entire tooth but fully restore bite functionality and is secured by the root foundation of your natural tooth. The dental crown is hollow and sits on top of your tooth, therefore your tooth needs to be “prepared” in order for your new custom crown to fit perfectly and give you a comfortable bite.

Fillings are not suggested for these types of maladies as they do not have sufficient strength to rebuild large sections of teeth or weakened teeth due to the pressure of chewing and grinding when eating or even talking. It is also recommended to replace large amalgam fillings with a crown as fillings have the propensity to fracture with age. Dr. Ara Gulesserian and Dr. Ani Toomanian will take the utmost care.
