Dental Crowns in Westlake Village, CA

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are protective caps placed over a tooth that has been weakened by decay, trauma, or prior restorations. A crown fully encases the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.

You may need a crown if you have:

• A fractured or cracked tooth
• A tooth weakened by large fillings
• A tooth that’s undergone root canal therapy
• A dental implant in need of a prosthetic cap
• Cosmetic concerns such as discoloration or irregular shape

Crowns can also be used to anchor dental bridges or as part of a full smile makeover.

Types of Crowns We Offer

At Westlake Dental Arts, we provide two primary crown materials based on your clinical needs and smile goals:

• Ceramic Crowns – Highly durable and aesthetically matched to natural tooth color. Ideal for patients who value long-term performance with superior aesthetics.
• Porcelain Crowns – Aesthetic-focused and ideal for front teeth. Porcelain reflects light similarly to enamel and blends beautifully into your smile.

Depending on your needs, we may also recommend our CEREC same-day crown technology for same-day restoration.

Technology That Elevates Every Crown

We don’t rely on guesswork or outdated materials. Our crowns are created using digital imaging, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance. Here’s how technology improves your outcome:

• Digital X-rays for precise diagnostics
• Intra-oral cameras for high-resolution visuals
• Cone Beam CT scanning for complex treatment planning
• 3D modeling and computer-guided design for exact shaping and placement

This process allows us to conserve more of your natural tooth structure, achieve higher accuracy, and minimize time spent in the chair.

What to Expect During Your Crown Appointment

1. Consultation and Digital Scanning – We’ll assess the tooth and use digital impressions to map the area with exact detail.
2. Tooth Preparation – The tooth is reshaped to allow room for the crown. A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent crown is fabricated.
3. Final Crown Placement – Once ready, your crown is bonded in place and checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics.

If you're eligible for same-day crowns, your entire procedure may be completed in a single visit.
