SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. Its purpose is to fully encase the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its original strength, shape, size, and appearance. As one of the most common and versatile restorative procedures in dentistry, a crown offers a durable, long-lasting solution that protects your oral health while enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
At the Beverly Hills practice of Dr. Joseph Stan, DDS, we craft dental crowns that do more than just repair teeth, they are artistically designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, functioning perfectly and looking flawless.
When is a Dental Crown Needed?
Dr. Stan may recommend a dental crown for several reasons, all aimed at preserving your natural tooth structure and preventing further damage.
- To Protect a Weakened Tooth: A tooth can be weakened by decay, a large fracture, or a massive filling. A crown holds the tooth together, preventing it from breaking.
- To Restore a Damaged Tooth: For teeth that are severely worn down, broken, or cracked, a crown can restore their original form and function.
- To Support a Tooth After a Root Canal: A root canal treatment removes the tooth's nerve and pulp, which can make the tooth brittle. A crown is essential to protect and strengthen it post-procedure.
- To Cover a Dental Implant: A crown is the visible, functional part attached to a dental implant post, serving as a complete replacement for a missing tooth.
- For Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can mask severe, intrinsic discoloration, hide misshapen teeth, and create a uniform, beautiful smile.
- To Anchor a Dental Bridge: When replacing missing teeth, crowns are placed on the adjacent "abutment" teeth to securely hold a dental bridge in place.
Types of Dental Crowns: Choosing the Right Material
We offer a variety of crown materials to suit your specific functional needs and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Stan will help you select the best option.
Type of Crown Material | Best For |
Porcelain/Ceramic Crowns | Front teeth where a natural, translucent appearance is most important. |
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) | A strong, reliable option for back teeth, offering strength and a good aesthetic. |
Zirconia Crowns | High-strength needs for both front and back teeth. Excellent durability and great aesthetics. |
Gold Crowns | Exceptional durability for out-of-sight molars. Ideal for patients who grind their teeth. |
Same-Day Crowns (CEREC®) | One-visit convenience without the need for a temporary crown. |
The Dental Crown Procedure: What to Expect
We utilize advanced technology to ensure your crown procedure is precise, comfortable, and efficient.
Step 1: Consultation & Examination
Dr. Stan conducts a thorough examination, which may include digital X-rays or a 3D cone beam scan, to assess the tooth’s condition and determine if a crown is the ideal solution.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
The tooth is gently reshaped by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crown. If there is decay, it will be removed, and the tooth will be built up to support the crown.
- Step 3: Digital Impression We use a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner to take a highly accurate digital impression of your prepared tooth. This is more comfortable than traditional putty impressions and provides superior precision for crafting your crown.
- Step 4: Temporary Crown Placement While your permanent crown is being custom-crafted by a master dental lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
- Step 5: Permanent Crown Placement Once your final crown is ready (typically in about two weeks), you return for a second appointment. Dr. Stan will remove the temporary crown, check the fit, shade, and bite of the new crown, and then permanently cement it into place.
Treatment Duration:
- Traditional Crowns: Typically completed in two visits over 2–3 weeks.
- Same-Day CEREC® Crowns: If you’re a candidate, your entire crown can be designed, milled, and placed in a single 2-3 hour appointment.
The Benefits of Choosing a Dental Crown
Investing in a dental crown provides significant advantages for your oral health and quality of life.
- Restores Full Chewing Function: A crown allows you to bite and chew comfortably and without fear.
- Strengthens and Protects: It shields a vulnerable tooth from further decay, damage, or fracture.
- Enhances Your Smile Aesthetically: Modern crowns are meticulously color-matched and shaped to be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
- Provides a Long-Term Solution: With proper care, a high-quality crown can last 15 years or longer.
- Improves Overall Oral Health: By preserving a natural tooth, a crown helps maintain your jawbone health and proper tooth alignment.

I went to see Dr. Stan to determine if I was a good candidate for an implant because I have a crown on my front tooth that was coming off and my current dentist told me I needed an implant or a bridge and they couldn’t repair it. Dr Stan was able to re-bond my crown and he explained thoroughly the procedure for the implant for my particular tooth and situation. He didn’t feel that it was necessary at this time and that if this crown comes off again, we can redo the crown instead of doing an implant. He did say that it would most likely last a few more years. I am so happy that I went To see Dr. Stan, I absolutely loved him. He made me feel so at ease and so comfortable to be at the dentist. His work was impeccable and he is so precise. In fact, he made my crown feel better than it ever was. Dr Stan and the staff literally made me feel as if I was a part of their family. Olga and Rachel were gems. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful experience.

Dr. Stan was my dentist almost 30 years ago. He did wonderful and terrific work. After 29-30 years, I had to change up a gold crown he did. (#19) Can't ask for better work than that, almost three decades without issue. Great job Dr. Stan. (I have since moved)

Amazing dentist.
Did a mouth makeover about 20 years ago after a lifetime of dental troubles and not only do I have teeth that everyone compliments but never have any dental trouble. Nice guy too. So glad I found him.

It was over 10 years that I hadn’t comfortably and happily smiled. About two months ago I went to see Dr Joseph Stan for a consult. Going in I was feeling scared and anxious. The consult went a lot smoother than expected. The staff was amazing. They made sure I was comfortable. I honestly felt like I was at home. Usually at the dentist I am hating life but just the opposite here. About two weeks after my consult I went in for my procedure and it went amazing! I am so happy I chose Dr Stan and his team. Not only is he an amazing dentist, his work is like art. I love love my new smile. I would never imagined the entire experience from start to finish would be this easy and would make me so happy. I CAN NOT STOP SMILING!! 😊 Thank you so much Dr Stan and all of the team at the Smile Boutique!

Immediate Aftercare:
- Avoid chewing on the side of your new crown until the anesthesia has completely worn off.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid sticky foods (like caramel) and hard foods (like nuts or ice).
- If sensitivity persists, use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Long-Term Care:
- Maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine.
- If you clench or grind your teeth at night (bruxism), ask us about getting a custom night guard to protect your crown and your natural teeth from excessive force.

FAQs
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel no pain during the appointment. You may experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long do dental crowns last?
With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, most crowns last between 10 and 15 years, and often much longer. Gold crowns can frequently last 20+ years due to their exceptional durability.
Will my dental crown look natural?
Absolutely. Dr. Stan is renowned for creating celebrity-worthy smiles. He works with skilled dental technicians and uses the highest-quality materials to ensure your crown is meticulously color-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your surrounding natural teeth.
Can a crown be placed in one visit?
Yes, through our CEREC® same-day crown technology. If you are a candidate, you can walk out of our office with your permanent crown securely in place after just one appointment.
How should I care for my new crown?
Treat it like a natural tooth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss once a day (paying extra attention around the crown margin), and avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages. Regular professional cleanings and exams are essential to monitor the health of the crown and the underlying tooth.
