Dental Crowns In Chino, CA
Transform your damaged tooth into a strong, beautiful part of your smile with a custom dental crown at The Curve Dentistry. Dr. Jeff Kim creates durable, lab-crafted dental crowns that look natural and protect your teeth for years to come.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a protective cap shaped like a natural tooth that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Each crown is carefully crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials that mimic the look and function of natural teeth. The crown gets cemented permanently onto your existing tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At The Curve Dentistry, Dr. Kim works with skilled lab technicians to ensure every crown provides the perfect blend of durability and natural aesthetics.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Natural-Looking Results
Your crown is custom-designed to match your other teeth perfectly. Through careful color matching and precise craftsmanship, Dr. Kim ensures your crown blends seamlessly with your smile. The materials used capture the natural translucency and light-reflecting properties of real teeth, creating results that look completely natural.
Enhanced Durability and Protection
Laboratory-made crowns are built to last. Each crown is crafted from premium materials that can handle the daily pressures of biting and chewing. The crown shields your damaged tooth from further problems while providing a reliable solution that can last 15 years or more with good oral care.
Improved Oral Function
A dental crown helps you eat, speak, and smile with total confidence. By recreating the natural shape and size of your tooth, your crown ensures your bite lines up correctly and spreads out chewing forces evenly. This proper alignment prevents problems like jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, and difficulties with speaking or eating.

The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Preparation
Your first visit starts with Dr. Kim examining your tooth and discussing what you want to achieve. He takes detailed images to assess the tooth and plan your crown design. After numbing the area, he carefully removes any decay and shapes the tooth to create a stable foundation for your new crown. Your comfort and understanding of the process are Dr. Kim's top priorities during this first step.
Digital Impressions and Temporary Crown
Using digital scanning technology, Dr. Kim takes precise measurements of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. He sends these detailed scans to a skilled dental laboratory for crafting your permanent crown. To protect your tooth while the lab works, he fits you with a temporary crown. Precision and attention to detail ensure your final crown will fit perfectly.
Final Placement and Adjustment
About two weeks later, you'll return to receive your permanent crown. Dr. Kim checks how the crown fits, matches your other teeth, and aligns with your bite. He makes any needed adjustments for comfort and function, then bonds the crown securely in place. You'll walk out ready to enjoy your restored smile. You'll leave with a crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
