Expert restorative dentist Dr. Kourosh Maddahi designs, crafts, and places expert dental crowns in Beverly Hills that will match your smile and restore your mouth to full function and beauty.
When a tooth is weakened either by decay or stress, it’s best to fully restore the functionality of the damaged tooth with a dental crown. Custom-built to fit over and enclose the weakened tooth, a dental crown becomes the new surface of the damaged tooth.
Porcelain crown expert Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, specializes in dental crowns in Beverly Hills, CA, assuring foremost quality on crown build-ups with excellence — including the look, material, and the matching of other teeth in color and natural appearance.
Porcelain crowns are frequently chosen to repair a tooth with excessive decay, teeth that need structural support after a root canal, or teeth that are broken or cracked. They can protect a weak tooth, hold a dental bridge in place, cover a dental implant, or can be used to simply resolve the appearance of a tooth. As long as the root structure is still intact, it’s usually possible to place a crown on the existing tooth to save it.
Although porcelain dental crowns are created to protect damaged teeth from becoming worse, they also provide aesthetic benefits. Because they fit over the damaged tooth, they immediately correct issues such as chips, cracks, fractures, discoloration, and misshapen teeth, making the desirability of dental crowns in Beverly Hills quite high.
We will design your crown to match the shape, size, and color of your existing tooth. There is a variety of materials offered that can be adjusted to your needs and budget.
“I met with Dr. Maddahi and…I must tell you that I have never been to a doctor’s office that made me feel so comfortable. It was like a breath of fresh air. Dr. Maddahi spent time detailing my procedure and made me feel very confident and happy. I even said, ‘When can we start?’. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Maddahi.” Linda K., Los Angeles
Before treatment, the area surrounding the damaged tooth will be numbed to keep you as comfortable as possible. Next, Dr. Maddahi or Dr. Reshad will use a dental instrument to shape and prepare the tooth so that the crown will fit. A mold of the tooth will then be taken, and a temporary crown will be placed onto the tooth to protect it. The mold that was taken will be sent to the lab so that the permanent crown can be created. Once the crown arrives, it will be cemented onto your damaged tooth.
After your crown is placed, you can go back to your regular day immediately without having to worry about taking time off. We advise waiting to eat for two hours, and avoiding any hard or sticky foods for several hours.
The most common side effects after a crown is placed are soreness, sensitivity, and pain when biting down. These side effects typically last 3-4 days. If you experience this for longer or the pain is very bad, we encourage you to contact our office. Once the soreness subsides, many patients don’t think about having a crown at all, and they are virtually undetectable to others.

How long will a crown last?
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
What is the best way to take care of my crown?
The answer to this question depends on the type of material that is used to create your crown; how well you maintain oral hygiene (brushing your teeth and flossing); the type of food and drink you consume, and the condition of your surrounding teeth and gums.
We use local anesthesia during the procedure to keep you comfortable. After the placement of your new crown, there may be some tenderness around your gums.
Just as you should take care of your natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing, your crown will need the same amount of attention — especially the gums at the bottom of your crown. Try to avoid excessively hard or abrasive foods, as these can wear your crown down more quickly than your natural teeth.
