Dental Crowns

A dental crown completely covers a tooth, rebuilding its strength, function, and appearance. Even severely damaged and decayed teeth can often be saved with a dental crown.

Revive, Restore, Reignite Your Smile with Dental Crowns

Are you hiding your smile because of dental imperfections? Dr. Anthony Grados specializes in dental crowns, offering a transformative solution in Sebastopol, CA. Imagine confidently sharing your radiant smile with the world.

Porcelain crowns can revive your smile, restore your confidence, and reignite your zest for life. With expertly tailored porcelain crowns, you can address issues like chipped teeth, discoloration, and weakened tooth structure.

 

What Is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns, often referred to as tooth caps, completely cover and surround a compromised tooth with strong, durable materials such as porcelain or metal. By rebuilding lost enamel with a crown, we can restore the normal shape of your tooth. This restores a balanced and healthy bite and prevents further damage to the neighboring teeth.

Crowns are an ideal option if a tooth becomes too damaged and there is not enough healthy enamel left to support a dental filling. In other cases, a tooth may become weak or brittle and need added support to prevent cracks and fractures.

Some materials, such as ceramic and porcelain, can also restore lifelike beauty to your smile. We frequently use crowns as a cosmetic dentistry solution to correct smile zone flaws like worn down, cracked, broken, decayed, and discolored teeth that can’t be fixed with other treatments like porcelain veneers.

What can porcelain crowns fix?

Porcelain crowns are versatile tools in modern dentistry. These meticulously crafted restorations not only shield and fortify compromised teeth but also offer a path to enhanced aesthetics and confidence. Some common use cases are:

  • Strengthening teeth afflicted by extensive decay or damage.
  • Providing reinforcement following root canal therapy.
  • Repairing teeth that have been fractured.
  • Transforming the appearance of discolored or misaligned teeth.
  • Serving as a secure anchor for dental bridges.
  • Creating a natural look and feel when covering dental implants.

 

At Oak Tree Dental, we understand the profound impact crowns can have on your life. Let us help you rediscover your smile’s beauty and strength. Contact us today to embark on your journey to renewed confidence with dental crowns in Sebastopol!

 

What Are the Types of Dental Crowns?

There are many types of dental crowns, generally described by what materials we use to create them. Crowns can be made from noble metals like gold, porcelain fused over a metal base, or modern ceramics.

Each type of crown has its own pros and cons including varying levels of durability and different aesthetics. At Oak Tree Dental, Dr. Anthony Grados provides two exceptional dental crown choices to meet your unique needs: Traditional Crowns and Same Day CEREC Crowns. 

Traditional Crowns

The traditional approach to creating dental crowns involves taking impressions of your teeth to create a model, which is sent to a lab where your crowns are created. Impression crowns are a highly effective option with a long, proven track record for success. These crowns are meticulously crafted to provide patients with durable and aesthetically pleasing solutions for a variety of dental issues.

Key Features of Impression Crowns: 

    • Precision Craftsmanship: Custom-made for a snug, natural fit.

    • Material Options: Choose from porcelain, metal, or a combination.

    • Proven Durability: Reliable, long-term restoration.

     

    Same Day CEREC Dental Crowns

    Same day crowns have the same durability, lifespan, and great aesthetics as traditional crowns. This is a cutting-edge solution to expedite rebuilding your smile without waiting for your restorations to come back from an external dental laboratory.

    The Oak Tree Dental team is proud to offer Same Day CEREC Crowns to give you a quicker and more convenient solution for your dental needs. With CEREC technology, you can receive your crown in just one visit.

    Advantages of Same Day CEREC Crowns: 

      • Efficiency: Same Day CEREC Crowns in one appointment.

      • Precision: Precise measurements for perfect fit and comfort.

      • Time-Saving: Skip temporary crowns and waiting.

      • Single-Visit Convenience: Design, create, and place in one visit.
       

      Whether you choose Impression Crowns for their durability and customization or opt for the speed and convenience of Same Day CEREC Crowns, Oak Tree Dental is dedicated to providing you with the best in dental care and restoration.

      How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

      Both traditional and CEREC crowns can last up to 15 years with proper care.

      Caring for  Dental Crowns

      To get the best possible lifespan out of your crowns, try to keep up with good brushing and flossing habits. While crowns do have a specific lifespan, it’s important to remember that the tooth under your crown can still develop cavities, so keeping your teeth clean and strong is essential to getting the most out of your investment. 

      To get the best the longevity of your crowns and your oral health, follow these tips: 

      • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly, paying attention to the crown area.
      • Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods to prevent crown damage.
      • Wear a Nightguard for Teeth Grinding: Consider a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
      • Regular Check-Ups: Schedule dental check-ups for crown monitoring.
      • Address Changes Promptly: Contact your dentist if you notice any issues.
      • Avoid Smoking and Excess Alcohol: These habits can impact crown durability.
      • Stay Hydrated: Drink enough water for overall oral health and to keep your teeth strong.
      • Avoid Abrasive Products: Abrasive toothpastes and other products can wear away the glaze that makes dental crowns shiny and stain resistant.

       

      By adhering to these guidelines, you’ll ensure your crowns stay in great shape, preserving your confident smile.

      I had my new patient exam with Dr. Navarrete and Andrea today, and they were a great team! Oak Tree Dental was referred to me by some friends of mine who go there. The Doctor answered all of my questions I had about my treatment; they were very clear about the timeline and what to expect, which made the whole process so much easier for me. Thank you to Dr. Navarrete and his team for being so friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate the time they took to make my visit so comfortable. Highly recommend! :)

      I'm a pretty tough mama EXCEPT when it comes to the dentist (ok and ticks too but who's not afraid of those!) I embarrassingly went wayyyyy too long without dental care out of fear. Rather getting cavities than go back.I was referred to Oaktree for that very reason and can not be more grateful. They are so, so kind. Never making me feel bad having gone so long and very attentive to my fear. Communicating everything they are doing before they do it, checking in constantly, and taking breaks for deep breaths when needed. Oaktree's helping get my dental needs back on track while making me feel comfortable and confident about going back. Big nonjudgmental, kind, nurturing sweethearts.

      I have been going to the same dentist office for 56 years and he retired. I had great referrals from a friend for Dr.Grados.and his staff. So hard going to someone new but they did everything to make me comfortable. All very nice and explained everything. Also Dr. Grados took his time with me and never seemed to be in a hurry. Would recommend him and his friendly office highly. Had a lengthy procedure today and Dr. Grados did a wonderful job. He is so kind.Today I went for two crowns. Dr. Grados makes them there . No temporary’s, no coming back for permanents. Amazing and meticulous.

      2021 - June I just moved here a few months before I contacted them, and was pleased that my call was returned. they told me of all the details which would be done. I also needed two crowns, etc. and the whole things was done the same day! I was surprised that they didn't send me home with two temp ones!everyone is nice and attentive.Update: I went again for cleaning and that was the best cleaning I have had for a long time.Update: 2024 This is an amazing and professional office. very caring, clean, straight, friendly, on time, and they use latest technology.

Front office help were wonderful and the assistant was also friendly and terrific and Dr Grados was extremely thorough and took his time and answered any questions I had. I really liked the feel of this office, it's small and not rushed and very convenient to where I live. I look forward to having him as my dentist.

      All-Around Excellent! I just started with Oak Tree Dental 6 months ago and I've already completed a daunting treatment plan including four replacement crowns and five fillings! The staff there is kind and responsive, and they seem dedicated to their work. Dr. Grados is a nice guy and a very experienced dentist. He does excellent work. OTD can get a lot of work done at each appointment, and they have always been ready to address concerns that come up. They are great if you don't have dental insurance because they have a plan just for that. I ended up paying less than I would have with my old dentist, with much better care in less time. Thank you Oak Tree Dental!

      I was a patient at the sebastopol dental office prior to Dr. Grados purchasing the practice. It’s hard forMe to make changes but after my first visit with Dr. Grados I was happy to move forward with him as my new dentist. Without reservation, I am very pleased with his work, how the office is managed, and his personal attention and sensitivity to health and financial needs. I can highly recommend Dr Grados and his office staff for their knowledge expertise and professional services.
