About This Service
Uniq Dentistry provides custom dental crowns in North Hollywood, including same-day crown technology when it fits the clinical situation.
A crown covers the visible portion of a tooth to restore strength, shape, function, and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth has a large cavity, fracture, heavy wear, an old failing restoration, or root canal treatment. The goal is to protect the remaining tooth structure so the tooth can function comfortably long term.
When a crown may be needed
A crown may be recommended when a filling would not provide enough support. Teeth with cracks, large restorations, deep decay, or root canal treatment often need full-coverage protection.
Same-day crown convenience
When appropriate, digital scanning and in-office milling can allow a ceramic crown to be designed, made, and placed in one visit. Some complex cases still benefit from lab-made restorations.
A crown should fit your bite
Comfort depends on more than color. A well-planned crown should fit the tooth, contacts, gumline, and bite so it feels natural when speaking and chewing.
The Process
Diagnosis & Planning
We evaluate the tooth, take images when needed, and explain why a crown is recommended compared with other options.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is shaped and cleaned so the crown can fit securely over the remaining structure.
Digital Design
A scan captures the prepared tooth and bite so the crown can be designed for fit, shape, and color.
Placement
The crown is bonded or cemented, then adjusted and polished for a comfortable bite.
