What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom cover that fits over a prepared tooth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are often used after large cavities, fractures, root canal treatment, or when a filling will not be strong enough. Think of it as protection that lets you chew confidently again.
Modern crowns come in several materials. Zirconia is very strong and ideal for molars. Lithium disilicate (often known by the brand e.max) provides excellent translucency for front teeth. Porcelain fused to metal can still be a good option in specific cases. We help you choose based on location, bite forces, and cosmetic goals.
Crowns are different from fillings and veneers. Fillings repair smaller areas inside the tooth. Veneers are thin fronts for cosmetic changes when the tooth is otherwise strong. A crown is recommended when the tooth needs full coverage to prevent future cracks or breakage.

Joseph O
My appt was for Monday, they got me in, inspected my teeth, did a root canal, gum surgery, and prep for a crown in half a day. The staff is amazing and wonderful, very kind. Cost was very fair and no unnecessary upsells. After i was finished they drove me to the pharmacy and back to my hotel.
Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Other members of my family have been here and have said nothing but the best from Dental Algodones. If you need work done, you won’t find a better place to go.

How Dental Crowns Are Done
Most crowns follow a clear path: exam, plan, preparation, temporary, and final placement. The goal is a crown that fits, feels comfortable, and looks like a natural tooth.
01 Consultation and Digital Scan
We review your history, take digital photos, and scan your bite. You and your dentist choose the best material and shade together.
02 Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown
We remove damaged areas and shape the tooth conservatively. If needed, a core build up strengthens the base. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your final crown is made.
03 Custom Crown Fabrication
Your crown is designed with CAD/CAM and either milled in office or created by a partner lab. Material choice follows your case needs, from strong zirconia to lifelike lithium disilicate.
04 Try-In and Cementation
We check fit, contacts, and bite, then cement the crown securely. Final polish, care tips, and you are ready to smile and chew comfortably.
Your new crown is a message away
Share recent X rays or a quick photo for faster planning. We often have same week openings and can help with travel timing.
Dental Crowns Pre-op Instructions
Arrive prepared so your visit flows smoothly. Share any health updates, follow your dentist’s guidance, and plan a little extra time for scans and shade selection. If you feel nervous, say so. There are gentle options.
Bring a list of medications, allergies, and recent dental records or X-rays.
Have a small meal before longer appointments unless your dentist advises otherwise.
Brush and floss before your visit; clean gums help us get accurate scans.
Choose layers; you will be seated for a while.
Ask about numbing gel or a mild anxiolytic if you are very anxious; arrange a companion if needed.
Bring valid ID for the border and confirm your shuttle pickup time.
Dental Crowns Post-op Instructions
Mild tenderness or temperature sensitivity is common after crown preparation and placement. It usually settles within a few days. If discomfort feels sharp or lingers, let us know so we can adjust your bite.
Avoid chewing until sensation returns to prevent biting your cheek or tongue.
Use the other side for 24 hours and avoid sticky or very hard foods for a few days.
If a temporary crown is in place, floss by sliding the thread out to avoid dislodging it.
Use a desensitizing toothpaste and warm salt-water rinses twice daily.
If you clench or grind, wear a night guard once the final crown is placed.
Persistent pain, a high bite, crown looseness, or gum swelling needs a quick check.
Related Dental Treatments
Some patients are better served by a different full-arch approach or by selective implant work. Here are options we may discuss.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin ceramic shells that bond to the front of teeth to refine shape, color, and minor alignment. They are ideal when the tooth is healthy and you want cosmetic changes without full coverage. Compared with crowns, veneers remove less enamel, but they do not reinforce heavily cracked or root-canal-treated teeth. If your goal is a brighter, more uniform smile on front teeth, veneers may be the right aesthetic option.

Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring artificial teeth to crowns on the neighboring teeth. It restores chewing and prevents shifting when an implant is not chosen. Proper design and hygiene are essential to keep the supporting teeth healthy. Bridges can be a faster, non-surgical alternative to implants, especially when neighbors already need crowns.

$597 USD/per 3-unit bridge
Root Canal Therapy
If a tooth has deep decay or infection, a root canal can remove the source of pain and save the tooth. Afterward, a dental crown is commonly recommended to protect the weaker structure and prevent fractures. The sequence is straightforward: treat the infection, then cover and reinforce. Done well, this pairing brings long-term comfort.

FAQs
How long do dental crowns last?
With daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings, crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years, and many go longer. Lifespan depends on material, bite forces, and habits such as grinding or chewing ice. A night guard can significantly extend durability if you clench at night. Truthfully, good hygiene is the biggest factor you control.
Which crown material is best for me?
Zirconia crowns are highly durable and great for back teeth under strong chewing forces. Lithium disilicate (e.max) offers excellent translucency for front teeth and many premolars. Porcelain-fused-to-metal remains useful in selected cases. Your dentist will weigh bite, location, and cosmetic goals to recommend the most balanced option.
Can I get a same-day crown in Los Algodones?
In many cases, yes. CAD/CAM technology allows us to scan, design, and mill a crown in one visit. Complex aesthetics or multi-tooth adjustments may be better served by a partner lab, which typically means a short return visit. Either way, the aim is a precise fit and a natural look.
Will the procedure hurt?
Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable during preparation and placement. You may feel vibration or pressure, but not sharp pain. After the appointment, some sensitivity is normal for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief and desensitizing toothpaste usually handle it. If discomfort lingers, a small bite adjustment often solves the issue.
How do I care for my new crown?
Treat it like a natural tooth. Brush twice daily with a soft brush, floss once a day, and keep routine cleanings. Avoid using teeth to open packages, and be mindful with very hard foods. If you grind at night, a protective guard helps your crown and your natural teeth last longer.
What if my tooth needs a root canal first?
That is common with deeply decayed or cracked teeth. The root canal removes infection and pain, then the dental crown restores strength and seal. Timing can vary, but many patients receive a temporary crown after endodontic treatment and the final crown once healing and bite are confirmed.
