Temecula Dental Crowns

Restore strength and beauty to your smile

What a dental crown does for a damaged tooth

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. It fully covers the tooth above the gumline, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance in a single restoration.

Our Temecula dental crowns are crafted from high-quality materials, including porcelain, zirconia, and gold. For front teeth and highly visible areas, we use porcelain or zirconia designed to match the look and feel of your surrounding teeth. Whether you need to protect a cracked tooth, rebuild after a large filling, or complete a dental implant, a crown gives the tooth what it needs to function again.

When a crown is the right choice

We recommend crowns when a tooth has too much damage to be repaired with bonding or a filling alone.

Common reasons patients need a crown:

  • A tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken
  • Decay has spread too far for a filling to hold
  • A tooth has become weak after a root canal
  • A large old filling needs to be replaced, and the remaining structure is limited
  • A dental implant needs a final restoration
  • A tooth is severely worn from grinding

During your consultation, Dr. Mundl examines the tooth and explains whether a crown is the most appropriate option for your situation.

What to expect from your crown appointment

Your Temecula dental crown is typically completed in two visits. Here is what the process looks like:

  • We begin with a comprehensive exam and take x-rays to evaluate the full condition of the tooth and surrounding structure.
  • The tooth is gently prepared, and a small amount of enamel is reshaped to create a proper fit for the crown.
  • An impression is taken to capture the exact dimensions of the prepared tooth and your bite.
  • A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent restoration is crafted.
  • At your second visit, the temporary is removed, and the custom crown is fitted, adjusted, and secured in place.

How do I care for a crowned tooth?

Care for a Temecula dental crown the same way you would a natural tooth: brush twice daily, floss carefully around the gumline, and come in for regular cleanings. Avoiding very hard foods or ice helps protect the restoration long-term.
