Same Day Dental Crowns San Diego

Crowns strengthen the structure of each tooth

Marina District Dentistry will always prioritize keeping your natural teeth in place as long as possible. But when advanced decay means there will be more filling than tooth structure, it puts your tooth at risk of cracks, breaks, and other issues. Crowns are a practical option. 


Dr. Racic designs your crown with a custom approach to restore the aesthetics of your smile with a strong, healthy tooth. In addition, Dr. Racic has the technologically advanced equipment on-site to ensure that fixing your tooth with a dental crown is simple, successful and completed in one appointment.

Cerec

Dental technology is constantly improving, allowing new and faster treatment options. CEREC technology now allows your dentist to create dental restorations, including dental crowns, and complete them in a single visit. Before CEREC Same-Day Crowns, you would have to visit the office multiple times for treatments and impressions, and typically involved a temporary crown that could break or cause problems.


How long does a dental crown last?


As long as they are properly cared for, our crowns are designed to last for 15-plus years.


What to do if you break or damage a crown?


Contact us if you have an old crown that is cracked, feels too loose or fell out. We may be able to bond it back in place or replace it entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Crowns

  • What is a dental crown?

    A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, protecting its remaining structure and restoring its original shape, size, and color.

  • Is getting a dental crown a painful procedure?

    Advanced technology and improved techniques have simplified this procedure, making it more tolerable than ever. We can discuss options for sedation, but if the patient does not require pain relief or anesthesia, numbing gel and local anesthetic is usually enough.

  • Do I need a dental crown?

    A dental crown is needed for severe tooth decay when there is more cavity left than tooth structure once the decay is removed. The remaining tooth structure will become brittle over time and at risk of breaking.


    A crown is placed over the tooth to protect it from wear and tear when you chew. You may also need a crown after having either root canal treatment or dental implant surgery
