What is a dental crown?
Wondering how to restore a damaged tooth and protect your smile? At Temecula Valley Dentistry, we offer dental crowns as an effective solution to strengthen and repair teeth that need extra care.
Dental crowns are caps made of gold, silver, porcelain, and zirconia to protect, cover, and restore damaged teeth. You may need a dental crown if you need to:
- Protect a weak tooth from decay or other damage, such as cracking
- Restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- Hold a dental bridge in place over your teeth
- Cover misshapen or discolored teeth
- Cover a dental implant
If you need a dental crown in Temecula, our expert local team is here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
Porcelain crowns usually last 10 to 15 years. However, with proper care, regular visits to our practice, and consistent adherence to oral hygiene practices, they can last longer.
Is there a difference between crowns and veneers?
Yes, crowns cover the entire tooth, offering more extensive coverage than veneers, which only cover the front surface.
Are dental crowns only for cosmetic purposes?
No, in addition to enhancing aesthetics, dental crowns provide functional benefits, restoring the strength and functionality of your teeth.
Do dental crowns require special maintenance?
Regular dental hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups, are sufficient for maintaining the health and longevity of your crowns.
Will my dental insurance cover the cost of a crown?
Dental insurance coverage for crowns varies by plan. Our office is happy to assist with understanding your benefits and offers transparent pricing for those without coverage.
