Dental Crowns in San Leandro, CA
Over time, your teeth can get worn down and damaged. To protect a tooth and restore its size and shape, our experts at San Leandro Dental Studio can fit it with a custom-made dental crown.
A
crown
is basically a tooth-shaped cap that we secure on your natural tooth. The crown will be designed to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. Once we have restored your tooth with a crown, your smile will look and feel as good as new.

Same Day Crowns
Same day crowns in San Leandro offer a dental solution that is incredibly time-saving and timesaving. These types of crowns, also known as CEREC crowns, are created using a computer-aided design (CAD) and a 3D printer in a single appointment. During the appointment, an electric impression is taken and transferred to the CAD/CAM system which designs the tooth restoration. The restoration is then printed out on a milling machine, glazed with porcelain, and bonded inside the patient’s mouth for a natural look and feel. Through this single appointment process, patients benefit from fast treatment times and strong, long-lasting results.
Same day crowns in San Leandro provide several advantages over traditional crowns made in a lab– such as significantly reduced wait times– since they can be created during your appointment itself. This allows patients to receive immediate treatment without having to make multiple trips to the dentist’s office over an extended period of time. Patients also enjoy greater accuracy in the fit of their custom-made crown as well as fewer injections due to minimal removal of healthy enamel tissue for placing the new dental restoration. All these benefits make same day crowns an excellent choice for modern dentistry that delivers convenience and quality care quickly.

- Brush your teeth twice a day
- Floss between all of your teeth daily
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash every day
- Avoid chewing on hard foods or ice, biting fingernails, etc.
- Avoid using your teeth to open packaging
These simple actions can help your crown last longer and keep your smile looking great.
