You can get a dental crown that is made of porcelain, metal, or ceramic at our San Mateo dental office. Our skilled staff will be focused on helping you achieve an aesthetically pleasing and healthy smile for life.

HOW DENTAL CROWNS ARE DONE

A crown is a tooth restoration that is implanted into your mouth with the use of a metal rod. During your first preparation for a crown, you will receive an examination and preparation for the tooth. Depending on your particular case, we may give you some X-rays to examine the roots of your tooth that will receive the crown.

After checking your dental X-rays, we can determine if any other conditions exist that may cause you problems during and after the procedure and Dr. Sheehy will give you his recommendations.

Our dental staff can inform you of how the crown is to be kept clean, the cost of the procedure, the problems that could develop, how to prepare your tooth for dental crowns, and much more. Call, schedule, and appointment to protect your dental health for life.
