Dental Crowns for Cotati Patients

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or a failed filling. When a tooth loses too much structure, a filling won't hold. A previously treated tooth often becomes brittle and needs reinforcement. A badly chipped or cracked tooth can't be fixed with bonding alone. A crown solves all of these by restoring the entire visible tooth with a durable custom restoration that matches your natural teeth. Crowns are also used to complete dental implants: the surgical partner places the implant fixture and Dr. Bonin designs and seats the custom crown that finishes the case. The beauty of a crown is that it gives you back a tooth that feels, looks, and works like your own. Modern materials come in multiple options. Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and naturally white, perfect for back teeth or for anyone who wants durability without compromise. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns have been reliable for decades, blending strength with excellent appearance. Lithium disilicate (like e.max) offers the best cosmetic results for front teeth, mirroring the translucency of natural enamel. Dr. Bonin helps you choose based on the tooth's location, your bite, and your aesthetic priorities. At Bonin Dental Care, crown placement is approached as restorative dentistry at its finest. It's not a quick fix; it's a careful decision about materials, fit, and color that shapes your smile for years. Dr. Bonin takes time during your consultation to explain why your tooth needs a crown, what material will serve it best, and what you'll experience during the two-appointment process.
