Dental Crowns in Beverly Hills and West Hills
Dental crowns are a versatile solution used to restore and protect damaged or weakened teeth. Dr. Kashfian—renowned for his work with dental crowns in Beverly Hills and West Hills—offers high-quality, custom restorations designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What to Expect During Treatment
At your first visit, Dr. Kashfian will begin by applying a topical anesthetic to gently numb the surrounding soft tissue, followed by a local anesthetic to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. He will then carefully remove any decay and shape the tooth to prepare it for the crown.

Once the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken to serve as the mold for your custom crown. While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth.

At your follow-up appointment, Dr. Kashfian will assess the permanent crown for fit, color, and comfort. Once everything is verified, the crown is securely bonded in place using a specialized dental adhesive.

When Are Dental Crowns Recommended?
Dr. Kashfian may recommend a dental crown for a variety of reasons, including:

• Protecting a tooth with severe decay or fracture
  
  
• Restoring a worn or weakened tooth
  
  
• Supporting a large filling where tooth structure is minimal
  
  
• Anchoring a dental bridge
  
  
• Covering a dental implant
  
  
• Improving a tooth’s size, shape, or color for cosmetic reasons
  
  

Types of Dental Crowns Available
We offer several crown materials to suit different needs and preferences:

• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Strong and natural-looking, these crowns are commonly used on front and back teeth. While they offer excellent durability, they may cause wear to adjacent teeth or chip over time.
  
  
• All-Resin Crowns: A more affordable option, resin crowns are less durable and more prone to fractures, making them best suited for temporary or low-pressure uses.
  
  
• All-Ceramic Crowns: Ideal for patients with metal allergies and for restoring front teeth, ceramic crowns offer superior aesthetics and color matching. However, they can wear down or fracture under heavy bite pressure.
  
  

Longevity and Care
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental crowns can last 10 years or more. Their longevity depends on factors such as daily wear, brushing and flossing habits, and whether you clench or grind your teeth. If grinding is a concern, Dr. Kashfian may recommend a night guard to protect your restoration.
