Santa Monica Dentist Discusses Key Issues When Creating Custom Crowns

Written by Dr. Follette on Sep 7, 2021

Personalized dental restorations deliver health-boosting results while improving dental aesthetics. Our Santa Monica dentists create crowns that fit our patients’ individual needs. Read on to learn more about key considerations in the dental crown creation process…

Scale Matters

There’s no denying that the aesthetics of your dental restoration matters. However, the functionality of your crown is just as important. To that end, our dental team ensures that your restoration is appropriately sized—when a crown or replacement tooth is too large, it can put unnecessary and harmful pressure on adjacent teeth, and even cause bite dysfunction.

Appropriate Shapes

Tooth shapes tend to be quite different across the board. Some people have dental enamel that is rounded, with soft edges. Other patients have teeth with sharper angles and points. No matter what your natural smile looks like, our team is able to create restorations that honor and replicate your existing tooth shapes. 

Attractive Color Transitions

One of the key benefits of using composite resin and porcelain as restorative dental materials is that both of these can be shaded to match your smile’s level of whiteness exactly. An exact color-match helps your restoration to blend in with your smile as a whole, delivering a seamless aesthetic result.

Don’t settle for restorations that are generic or one-size-fit-all. Our Santa Monica crown dentists offer the customized treatment—just give our team a call to learn more and schedule a consultation!
