When a tooth is damaged, many people try to ignore it, thinking it is “not serious” or that it can wait. However, a damaged tooth can cause constant discomfort, affect your bite, and even change how confident you feel when smiling or speaking.
In Thousand Oaks, we often see patients who delayed treatment and are surprised to learn how simple and effective a dental crown can be.
At Channel Islands Family Dental Office, our dentists in Thousand Oaks focus on clear, long-lasting solutions that look natural. Dental crowns are one of the most reliable ways to restore damaged teeth and protect your oral health.
A dental crown is a restoration that fully covers a tooth that has lost strength or structure. It works like a protective helmet, restoring the tooth’s shape, size, and function.
Our dentists in Thousand Oaks recommend dental crowns for:
- Large cavities that weaken the tooth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth with root canal treatment
- Old restorations that no longer seal well
- Worn or badly damaged teeth
In many cases, a dental crown helps avoid tooth extraction and keeps your natural tooth longer.
