A dental crown is an artificial tooth that is formed to fit over the surface of another (original) tooth. It not only improves the general appearance of the teeth, but also the function. Dental crowns in Vallejo are relatively inexpensive in comparison to certain types of dental issues, such as tooth loss.

A dental crown is usually the solution of choice when a natural tooth has become so decayed and infected that large portions of it has to be removed. For example, after a root canal much of the pulp of the tooth is removed to eliminate and neutralize bad bacteria. A crown is also common when a filling goes bad or the tooth is cracked. Sometimes a crown is simply used to cover up a badly stained or discolored tooth. Crowns are available in a number of shades depending on the customer's preferences and natural tooth color.

The process of getting a crown with Vallejo dental crowns dentist Dr. Gordon is fairly simple. He takes an impression of the tooth that is going to be covered and then creates a custom crown mold. After that the crown is cemented on top of the original tooth. The result is a new, semi-permanent natural looking tooth.
