Visit our office in Roseville, California, and discover how our advanced restorations can transform your smile and life.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers and protects the visible part of your tooth. Think of it as a protective cap that helps restore your tooth’s strength, health, and appearance. We recommend crowns when a significant portion of your tooth is lost or weakened.
Dental crowns are best for:
- Severely decayed or weakened teeth
- Large cavities
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy
- Stubbornly discolored teeth
- Missing teeth that need a bridge or implant treatment
At our office, Dr. Jyothsna Reddy Sabalam combines clinical precision with advanced technology to create dental crowns that look and feel right. Once placed, the tooth looks as good as new!
Dental onlays: What are they?
Dental onlays are little-known restorations that act as a middle ground between fillings and crowns. They repair damage that’s too extensive for a filling, but a crown would be deemed excessive. Instead of covering the entire tooth, an onlay restores only the damaged portion, typically the chewing surface and one or more cusps. Onlays are more conservative, but they offer maximum strength and protection.
Which option is right for you?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best choice depends on the extent of the damage, your oral health, and your long-term goals. If your tooth can be preserved with an onlay, it’s often preferred. If full tooth coverage is needed, a crown may be the better option.
Are dental crowns and onlays worth it?
Try as you may, it can still be challenging to avoid injuries, natural wear, and cavities. Luckily, modern dentistry offers reliable solutions to restore and protect your teeth.
Here are the benefits of dental onlays and inlays:
- Improved oral function: Our advanced restorations restore your full chewing power, making it easier to eat your favorite foods again.
- Renewed confidence: Eat, speak, and smile without holding back. That’s freedom for many!
- Long-lasting satisfaction: Your crowns and onlays can last 10-15 years or more with good upkeep.
- Save your tooth: Even with advanced tooth restorations, there’s nothing quite like your natural tooth. A dental crown or onlay allows you to save a damaged or weakened tooth from extraction.
Does my restoration look natural?
Our office thrives on creating natural-looking results. We use premium, realistic-looking materials, such as porcelain and ceramics, to make your crown or onlay. These materials are color-matched with your surrounding teeth to achieve a seamless appearance. Once placed, your restoration is virtually undetectable. That means we can repair damage anywhere in your mouth without drawing unwanted attention.
