Dental Crowns in North Hollywood & Toluca Lake
Custom-milled zirconia and all-ceramic crowns that protect cracked, decayed, or root-canal-treated teeth — built to look and feel like your own.
What Is a Dental Crown, and When Do You Need One?
When a tooth has lost too much structure to decay, a large filling, or a fracture, a filling alone often isn't enough to keep it functional. A crown wraps around the entire visible portion of the tooth, distributing bite force evenly and preventing the remaining structure from cracking further.
At Toluca Advanced Dentistry, we offer porcelain, all-ceramic, zirconia, and gold crowns. Dr. Shahrooz will walk you through which material fits your tooth's location, bite forces, and cosmetic goals before recommending a plan.
"With over a decade of experience in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, I take the time to explain exactly why a specific crown material makes sense for your tooth — front teeth and molars aren't treated the same way."

What Types of Dental Crowns Do We Offer?
Zirconia Crowns
Milled from a single block of ultra-durable ceramic. Our preferred choice for molars that handle heavy daily chewing, with a natural, biocompatible appearance.
All-Ceramic & Porcelain
Valued for translucency that mimics natural enamel. Often selected for front teeth, where light-reflecting detail matters most for a confident smile.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
Not offered at our officeA traditional crown option that combines a metal substructure with a porcelain exterior. We don't use PFM in our practice, but Dr. Shahrooz is happy to explain how it compares to the ceramic and zirconia options we do offer.
Gold Crowns
Highly resistant to wear and gentle on opposing teeth. A durable option for molars when appearance is a lower priority than longevity.
What Does the Dental Crown Process Involve?
Initial Exam & Digital Imaging
We evaluate the tooth with digital X-rays to confirm a crown is the right treatment and check for any decay or infection that needs to be addressed first.
Tooth Preparation & Impressions
The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown, then a digital or physical impression is taken to guide the lab's fabrication.
Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown protects the prepared tooth and keeps your bite comfortable while your permanent restoration is custom-made.
Custom Lab Fabrication
Your crown is milled or hand-layered in the material Dr. Shahrooz recommended, matched to your natural tooth shade and bite.
Final Fitting & Permanent Bonding
We check fit, color, and bite alignment, make any adjustments needed, then permanently bond the crown in place.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
What is a dental crown used for?
A dental crown is used to fully cap a cracked, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function. Crowns are also used to protect a tooth after a root canal, anchor a dental bridge, or cover a dental implant.
How much does a dental crown cost in North Hollywood?
Cost depends on the material chosen and whether other treatment, like a root canal, is needed first. We accept PPO insurance and offer 6-month 0% interest financing through Cherry, plus a 10% discount for uninsured patients on treatment over $900.
How long do dental crowns last?
Most dental crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Longevity depends on the material, the tooth's location, and habits like grinding, brushing, and flossing. We check your crown at every routine cleaning.
What's the difference between zirconia and porcelain crowns?
Zirconia crowns are milled from a single block of ultra-durable ceramic, making them a strong fit for molars. All-porcelain crowns offer more translucency and are often chosen for front teeth where a natural, light-reflecting look matters most.
Does dental insurance cover crowns?
Many PPO dental plans provide partial coverage for crowns as a restorative treatment. We verify your benefits before treatment begins and explain what's covered and what your out-of-pocket portion will be.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Getting a crown is done under local anesthesia, so tooth preparation shouldn't hurt. Some patients notice mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, which typically resolves on its own as the tooth adjusts.
