Dental Crowns in Beverly Hills, CA
Here at Rifkin Raanan we strive to apply an artistic touch and a scientific approach to even the most common dental procedures.
Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are protective coverings that completely encase a tooth, restoring it to its original size and shape. In cosmetic dentistry, crowns can also enhance a tooth's appearance, improving both its form and function. At Rifkin Raanan, our Beverly Hills dental crowns are designed to strengthen and protect teeth that are too damaged to be restored with more conservative treatments, such as fillings, inlays, or onlays.
We offer a variety of dental crown options, but our practice exclusively uses porcelain crowns due to their superior ability to match the natural color of your teeth. Porcelain crowns are not only highly aesthetic but also durable, capable of lasting many years with proper care. Just like your natural teeth, porcelain crowns require regular maintenance, including brushing and flossing, to ensure their longevity and appearance. Each porcelain crown we create is meticulously crafted to match the exact size, shape, and color of your existing teeth, providing you with a beautiful, natural-looking, and long-lasting smile.
Dental crowns offer a range of benefits that go beyond simply restoring the appearance of a tooth. They provide essential protection and support for teeth that have been weakened by decay, fractures, or large fillings. By covering and encasing the damaged tooth, a dental crown restores its function, allowing you to bite and chew with confidence. Additionally, porcelain dental crowns are highly aesthetic, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Whether used for restorative purposes or cosmetic enhancements, dental crowns are a versatile solution that can improve both the health and look of your teeth.
When you come to us for your consultation for dental crowns Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists, Dr. Rifkin or Dr. Raanan, will perform a full assessment and find out if porcelain crowns are right for you. Porcelain crowns are often indicated in the following cases:
The process of placing a dental crown typically requires two appointments, though advanced technology at Rifkin Raanan allows for same-day dental crowns in certain cases.
During your first visit, precise impressions of your teeth will be taken to custom-fabricate your porcelain crown. A temporary crown will be created and placed on your tooth to protect it while the permanent crown is being crafted by our Master Dental Ceramist. To prepare your tooth for the crown, Dr. Rifkin or Dr. Raanan will anesthetize the tooth and surrounding gum area, then remove any decay and shape the tooth's surface to ensure a proper fit for the new crown.
Once these preparations are complete, the temporary crown will be secured with temporary cement, and your bite will be carefully checked to make sure your teeth align properly. At your second appointment, the temporary crown will be removed, and the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned.
Finally, Dr. Rifkin or Dr. Raanan will place the new dental crown, onlay, or inlay, ensuring that the fit and bite are perfect. The crown will then be secured with a permanent adhesive. Before you leave, you'll receive detailed care instructions and be encouraged to schedule regular dental visits to maintain the health and longevity of your new restoration.
The results of a dental crown procedure are both functional and aesthetic. Once your new crown is in place, you will be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing that your tooth is protected and restored. The custom-crafted porcelain dental crowns provided by Rifkin Raanan are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance. With proper care, your dental crown can last for many years, providing long-term benefits to your oral health and the overall beauty of your smile.
Recovery from a dental crown procedure is typically straightforward, with minimal discomfort. After the placement of your crown, you may experience some mild sensitivity in the area, but this should subside within a few days. It's important to follow the care instructions provided by Drs. Rifkin and Raanan, which may include avoiding hard or sticky foods for a short period. Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, will help maintain the health of your crown and the surrounding teeth. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to ensure the longevity of your crown and the continued health of your smile.
Under the expert care of Dr. Rifkin and Dr. Raanan, the process of having dental crowns placed is virtually painless. Thanks to their advanced techniques and use of local anesthesia, you will not experience discomfort while your tooth is being prepared. Drs. Rifkin and Raanan are committed to your comfort, employing various anesthesia methods to ensure a completely pain-free experience. With their extensive training and experience, they create a calm and relaxed environment, making sure you feel at ease throughout the entire procedure.
When it comes to dental crowns, while there are many dental offices that administer this procedure, experience, skill, and attention to detail play an important role in the function, aesthetic and comfort of the final result. Thus, like all the services we deliver, we take the process of crafting and placing dental crowns very seriously.

The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the materials used. During your consultation, Drs. Rifkin and Raanan will provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs.
In most cases, a dental crown is recommended after root canal therapy to protect the tooth from further damage and restore its function.
You can usually eat shortly after getting your dental crown. However, it's advisable to wait until the numbness from the anesthesia has completely worn off to avoid biting your tongue or cheek.
A "tooth cap" is simply another term for a dental crown. Both refer to the same dental restoration that covers and protects a damaged tooth.
