Dental Crowns in Sylmar, CA
Sometimes, your teeth become too damaged by dental decay to be restored by normal dental fillings. When this happens, our dentists may recommend dental crowns. This treatment helps Dr. Simon Imanuel and associates repair your teeth while also retaining as much of their natural structures as possible.

Dental crowns, or dental caps, are a type of restorative treatment recommended when your teeth have sustained damage or decay. A crown is designed to fit over the entire visible portion of the tooth in order to restore its original shape and size and protect it from further damage. Crowns may be made of several different materials, but the most popular type of dental crowns are made of porcelain due to the fact that it matches the appearance and durability of your original tooth.
Our skilled dentists may recommend a dental crown to:
Restore a tooth after it has sustained damage due to injury or tooth decay
Protect a tooth after a root canal treatment
Anchor a dental bridge
Cap and complete a dental implant
Strengthen a tooth that is cracked, fractured or weakened
Support a tooth with a large filling
Improve a misshapen tooth
Enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile
Dental crowns typically require two appointments to complete. During the first appointment, our dentists will take impressions and prepare your tooth to receive the crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your final restoration is completed. At the second appointment, we will check the fit of the crown and bond it into place to fully restore the tooth.
