Quality Lab Created Crowns
Dental crowns in Westlake Village, created in a lab, are made to perfection.
At Westlake Village Dentist, we want to make sure you get the best quality service with all procedures, including our lab-created dental crowns in Westlake Village. With lab-created crowns, the process takes a few visits to perfect them in order to have the best outcome. Our dentist will take molds of your tooth or teeth where the crown will be placed, and those molds will be sent to our dental lab for crown creation. Using the mold taken by the dentist, the lab technicians will create another impression to shape your new tooth crown. Once the crown is heated, molded, cooled, and completed, it is sent back to the dental office for proper fitting to your tooth.

Facts About Dental Crowns
Learn a few things about getting a tooth crown in Westlake Village.
“She did what others couldn’t.”
“I have a whole bridge in here, and the previous dentist, a while ago, with the technology at the time, just couldn’t do it; they could not bridge that. I had this awful partial that you take out and put back in with little metal hooks on it, and quite frankly, I got lazy and stopped using it. I thought that’s the way it would be for the rest of my life, there just wasn’t anything you could do. Dr. Looyzadeh said no, today we could do that, and we’ve done it, and that whole side of my mouth now has teeth in it where before it didn’t have any.”

The Purpose of a Tooth Crown
Learn about dental crowns in Westlake Village and their purpose
Knowing the purpose of a tooth crown in Westlake Village can help you decide whether or not it is the right dental procedure for you. There are many different reasons one may need a dental crown; however, there are other options for treatment as well, depending on your case. Dr. Melina Looyzadeh will discuss all possible modes of treatment and help you choose the best for your scenario. Often, dental crowns hold cracked teeth together to keep them strong and stable for function. However, if the crack goes down to the root of your tooth, then another procedure will be suggested. One of the most common ways a tooth crown is used is to cover a dental implant, which is a replacement option for a missing tooth. Crowns are also used to hold
dental bridges in place, which is another method for replacing missing teeth. Dental fillings are one of the most popular ways to repair tooth decay, but after many years of life, a dental filling may be in need of a crown in order to keep it from breaking down. A root canal is another method of repairing a tooth after severe tooth decay. Dental crowns are often used to hold a tooth together after a root canal is performed to give it extra strength. Lastly, dental crowns can be used simply for cosmetic modifications to help the appearance of your teeth.
