What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are protective caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, function, and appearance. At Kind Heart Dental in Santa Maria, CA, Dr. Christiane Trigueros offers high-quality porcelain, Emax, and zirconium crowns that are durable and beautifully match your natural teeth.
How It Works
A Simple 3-Step Process
Step 1
Evaluate the Tooth
We assess the health and structure of your tooth to determine if a crown is the best option.
Step 2
Prepare and Design the Crown
The tooth is shaped, and digital impressions are taken to design a crown that fits perfectly.
Step 3
Place the Final Restoration
Once the crown is ready, we secure it over your tooth, restoring its look and strength.
