Do you struggle with the limitations of missing, cracked, or broken teeth? At Signature Smiles of LA, our custom-crafted dental crowns and bridges are the perfect solution to restore the function and appearance of your teeth. Using superior dental materials and partnering with trusted custom labs, Dr. Sheila Mahooti ensures your restoration looks natural and is tailored to your needs.
A dental crown fits over a badly decayed or damaged tooth to protect and strengthen it. Its purpose is to support oral health by restoring your ability to chew comfortably and giving the tooth a second chance. Crowns are an ideal solution when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but have enough structure to be preserved.
Dr. Mahooti will conduct a thorough examination and consultation to determine if a crown is the right solution for your dental needs. She might recommend a crown for several reasons, including:
A dental inlay or onlay is a restoration Dr. Mahooti might recommend instead of a crown to preserve more tooth structure. Like a crown, an inlay or onlay is designed to restore a tooth but not cover it entirely; instead, it sits on top of or inside the tooth to strengthen it and restore chewing function.
The first step in getting a crown or bridge is a comprehensive examination by Dr. Mahooti. This will include digital x-rays to assess your oral health and determine the best treatment option.
The result is a beautiful, durable restoration that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
There are many benefits to restoring your smile with crowns or bridges.
