Dental crowns are a versatile dental treatment designed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth. At Earnest Dental Care, located in the heart of Milpitas, Dr. Ernest Wong and his team focus on providing top-quality dental crowns tailored to your unique needs. A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," completely encases a tooth, offering protection and a natural look. Whether your tooth is cracked, weakened by decay, or discolored, a crown can rejuvenate its function and appearance, allowing you to smile with confidence. Crafted from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, each crown is meticulously designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Opting for a dental crown can be a game-changer for both your oral health and self-esteem. Dental crowns not only restore the functionality of a compromised tooth but also enhance its aesthetic appeal. If you have a tooth that’s been weakened by decay, a crown can prevent further damage and maintain the structural integrity of your smile. Additionally, crowns are an excellent choice for covering dental implants or anchoring a dental bridge. With a crown, you can enjoy the benefits of a natural-looking, durable restoration that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth, ensuring you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, dental crowns offer a seamless blend with your smile. They can dramatically improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth, boosting your confidence and leaving you with a radiant, uniform smile.
Dental crowns act as a protective shield for weakened teeth, preventing further damage or decay. With proper care, crowns are a long-lasting solution that can serve you well for many years, making them a wise investment in your oral health.
The journey to a healthier smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Earnest Dental Care. Dr. Ernest Wong will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, using advanced diagnostic tools to assess the condition of the affected tooth. This step ensures that a dental crown is the most suitable treatment for your needs. During this visit, you’ll discuss your goals and preferences, allowing Dr. Wong to customize the treatment plan to align with your expectations.
Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step involves preparing the tooth for the crown. Dr. Wong will gently reshape the tooth to make room for the crown, ensuring a perfect fit. After the tooth is prepared, a precise impression is taken to create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth. A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab.
During your final appointment, Dr. Wong will remove the temporary crown and carefully place the permanent crown onto your tooth. He will ensure the crown fits comfortably and functions properly, making any necessary adjustments for optimal results. Once the crown is cemented in place, you’ll leave the office with a beautifully restored smile that looks and feels natural.
