When a tooth becomes cracked, weakened, or severely decayed, a custom dental crown can restore its strength, shape, and appearance. At DNTL Hub, we use high-quality, natural-looking crowns to repair and protect damaged teeth while preserving your bite and smile. Whether the result of trauma, wear, or a root canal, a crown can provide lasting stability and comfort. Our Elk Grove team, led by Dr. Devan Dalla, offers same-day evaluations when possible and expertly designs crowns that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for a discreet, durable restoration.
Why Choose a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are versatile restorations used to protect teeth compromised by decay, fractures, large fillings, or dental procedures like root canals. A crown fully covers the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its form and preventing further damage. At DNTL Hub, we create crowns that are color-matched and shaped to fit your smile, ensuring both strength and aesthetics.
We offer several crown materials depending on your needs and goals, including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and composite resin. Dr. Dalla will help you choose the best option for your situation based on the tooth’s location, bite pressure, and cosmetic preferences.
Inlays and Onlays for Partial Restorations
If your tooth is damaged but doesn’t require a full crown, an inlay or onlay may be the ideal solution. These restorations are used when a filling is too small and a crown would be excessive. Inlays fit inside the tooth’s biting surface, while onlays extend over one or more cusps.
Each inlay or onlay is custom-made and bonded directly to the tooth, preserving healthy structure while restoring full function. These restorations are incredibly durable, blend beautifully with surrounding teeth, and help prevent further deterioration.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
Crowns are typically used when a tooth has extensive damage or has undergone root canal treatment and needs full coverage to stay strong.
Most crowns last between 10–15 years, but with good oral hygiene and regular checkups, they can last even longer.
A crown covers the entire tooth, while an onlay only covers the damaged portion. Onlays preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
The process is not painful. We use local anesthesia and make every effort to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
