Restored Strength
A crown wraps the entire tooth, so chewing force spreads across the cap instead of concentrating on the weakened walls that are left underneath.

Understanding Your Treatment
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth completely, restoring its shape and strength when too little healthy structure remains to hold a filling. Dr. Dylan Kovar handles crown and bridge work as part of his restorative and prosthodontic focus, including full bite reconstruction. Dr. Werner Visagé steps in when the gum and bone around a tooth need attention before the crown goes on.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Natural Match
Modern porcelain is shaded and shaped against the teeth on either side, which lets a crowned tooth blend into your smile rather than stand apart.
Crack Protection
Covering a cracked or heavily filled tooth stops the fracture from spreading, which is often the difference between saving it and losing it later.
Lasting Repair
A well-fitted crown commonly holds up for a decade or longer, making it one of the more durable repairs available for a badly damaged back tooth.
The Process
Our Step-by-Step Process
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule Appointment- 01
Exam Review
Digital images and a clinical exam confirm how much healthy structure is left, which is what determines whether a crown is the right call here.
- 02
Tooth Prep
The area is numbed, then your dentist reshapes the tooth just enough for the crown to seat properly without removing anything more than needed.
- 03
Digital Scan
An iTero scanner captures the prepared tooth and your full bite in three dimensions, so there is no tray of impression material to sit through.
- 04
Temporary Crown
A temporary is placed while the lab builds your permanent crown, and it is shaped so that you can eat and speak normally in the weeks between.
- 05
Final Fit
Your permanent crown is tried in, checked for shade and contact, adjusted against your bite, and then bonded once everything reads correctly.
Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need Dental Crowns
-
Cracked Tooth — A visible crack or a sharp pain on release when you bite down suggests the tooth is flexing, and a crown is what holds those segments together.
-
Large Filling — An old restoration takes up most of the tooth, leaving behind thin walls that are far more likely to fracture under the pressure of normal chewing.
-
Heavy Wear — Grinding has flattened the chewing surface or shortened the tooth, which changes how your bite meets and speeds up the wear on all of its neighbors.
-
Chewing Pain — One tooth aches under pressure but settles when you stop, a pattern that often points to a structural problem rather than to straightforward decay.
Our Difference
Digital Scans, No Impressions
Four iTero scanners mean your crown starts from a precise digital model, so nobody has to hold a tray of material in your mouth while it sets.
Crowns Designed Around Occlusion
Dr. Kovar has a clinical emphasis on how the whole bite functions, so your crown is built to fit the way your jaw actually moves and closes each day.
Temporary You Can Live With
Your temporary is shaped and polished properly rather than rushed, because the weeks before the final crown should not be an ordeal to get through.
Shade Verified Before Cementing
The permanent crown is tried in and checked against neighboring teeth before anything is bonded, so a mismatch never becomes permanent by accident.

How long do dental crowns last?
Ten to fifteen years is a common range, and plenty of crowns last well beyond that with good hygiene and a stable bite. Grinding is the most frequent reason one wears early, so a night guard is often part of the conversation.
Do I need a crown or would a filling work?
The deciding factor is how much healthy tooth is left holding everything together. When the remaining walls are thin enough to flex or fracture, a crown protects the tooth in a way a filling cannot.
What happens if my temporary crown comes off?
Call the office and keep the temporary somewhere safe, since it can usually be recemented the same day. Avoid chewing on that side in the meantime so the prepared tooth does not shift or become sensitive.
What is the cost of dental crowns in Carmichael, CA?
Cost depends on the material and on whether any groundwork is needed before the crown, so our front desk gives you a written figure first. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are available, and Marconi Dental Plan members receive 30% off cash fees.
Does insurance cover dental crowns in Carmichael, CA?
Most PPO plans treat crowns as major restorative work and cover a portion of the fee, often after a waiting period and subject to your annual maximum. We accept all major providers, work with out-of-network plans, and verify your benefits before treatment begins.
