Life happens, and sometimes our teeth bear the brunt of it. Whether it’s a cracked tooth from an unexpected bite, severe decay that weakens the structure, or a large filling that just won’t stay put, dental issues can disrupt your daily life and affect your confidence. At our clinic in Newport Beach, our Dental Crowns offer a reliable solution to these common problems, restoring both function and beauty to your smile.
Biomimetic Crowns are designed to mimic the natural structure and properties of your teeth. Unlike traditional crowns, which may require significant removal of healthy tooth structure, Biomimetic Crowns preserve more of your natural tooth. They are crafted with advanced bonding techniques and high-quality materials that distribute stress evenly, reducing the risk of fractures and enhancing the longevity of the restoration.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, bringing back their strength, shape, and appearance. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a uniform and stunning smile. Crowns are ideal for protecting teeth that have been compromised by decay, trauma, or extensive fillings and can even enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
At Eden Smile Design, we provide traditional crowns as well as Biomimetic Crowns. These advanced restorations are crafted to preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to conventional crowns, making them a conservative yet effective choice for long-term oral health.
Dental crowns are recommended in a variety of situations, such as:
Choosing dental crowns at Eden Smile Design means choosing a solution that offers:
Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits. During the first visit, Dr. Chau will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to fit the crown properly. An impression will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth until your permanent one is ready. At the second visit, the custom crown will be bonded in place, restoring your tooth’s function and appearance.
The recovery process with dental crowns is typically smooth and straightforward. You may experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort, but this usually subsides within a few days. Our team will provide you with detailed guidance on how to care for your new crown to ensure it remains strong and beautiful. Avoiding hard or sticky foods and maintaining good oral hygiene will help extend the life of your crown and keep your smile looking its best.
The cost of dental crowns varies depending on the material used and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the most suitable options for your needs and provide you with a detailed cost estimate. We also offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit financing, to make your treatment more accessible.
At Eden Smile Design, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction above all.

No, the procedure is generally pain-free. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, so you won’t feel discomfort during the process. Some patients may experience minor sensitivity or soreness afterward, but this usually resolves within a few days.
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help extend the lifespan of your crowns and keep your smile looking its best.
Traditional crowns often require more removal of healthy tooth structure to fit the crown properly. Biomimetic Crowns, on the other hand, use advanced bonding techniques and materials that preserve more of your natural tooth, making them a conservative and long-lasting option.
Absolutely! Dental crowns can enhance the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or uneven teeth, giving you a beautiful, uniform smile. They are often used as part of a smile makeover or to address aesthetic concerns.
The cost of dental crowns varies depending on the materials used and the complexity of the case. Our team will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and a detailed cost estimate during your consultation. We also offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit, to accommodate your budget.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental crowns, especially if they are needed for restorative purposes. However, coverage may vary, so it’s best to check with your insurance provider or our office staff to understand your specific benefits.
Caring for your crowns is just like caring for your natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. Avoid biting down on hard foods or objects to prevent damage, and consider wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth at night.
If your crown feels loose or comes off, contact us immediately. Do not try to reattach it yourself, as this could damage the crown or your tooth. Our team will schedule an appointment to properly reattach or replace the crown and ensure your tooth remains protected.
