Let's Be Honest—No One Wants a Crown

Most of our patients don’t come in asking for a crown. They come in because something broke, something hurts, or their old filling is failing. Crowns aren’t exciting—they’re necessary. But that doesn’t mean the process has to be uncomfortable, confusing, or frustrating.

At mend dental in Irvine, our job is to make it as simple and stress-free as possible to fix what’s going on and get you back to normal. We take care of the tooth, but we also take care of you—your time, your comfort, your questions, and your peace of mind.

What is a crown and why do you need one?

A crown is like a protective cap that covers a tooth that’s been weakened—whether it’s cracked, worn down, had a big filling, or just finished a root canal.

We don’t recommend crowns lightly. If we’re talking about a crown, it’s because your tooth needs more than just a filling to stay functional long-term.

What the process
looks like:

  • We take a good look. We’ll start with a digital scan and an exam. We’ll show you what we’re seeing and explain why we’re recommending the treatment—no pressure, no scare tactics.
  • We prep the tooth. If you’re moving forward with the crown or bridge, we’ll numb the area, shape the tooth, and take another digital scan. You’ll leave with a temporary crown that looks and feels pretty close to the real thing.
  • We place the final restoration. About two weeks later, you’ll come back and we’ll fit the permanent crown or bridge. We’ll make sure the bite is right, it feels natural, and you’re good to go.

A Strong, Healthy Tooth Starts Here

You might be here because something broke. Maybe you’ve been told you “need a crown” for a while but haven’t been sure what to do. That’s normal.

Our approach is to slow down, explain your options, and make space for your concerns. No one should feel pushed into treatment—but we also won’t leave you wondering what’s going on with your tooth.

We’ll talk it through, fix what needs fixing, and make it look and feel like it never happened.

Your questions, 
answered

Can't find what you're looking for?

Sometimes yes, but not always. If there’s not enough healthy tooth left to hold a filling long-term, a crown gives it the strength to last.

Most people are surprised by how easy it is. We numb the area fully and check in often. Afterward, it might be a little sore, but it’s very manageable.

Most last 10–15 years, sometimes longer. We’ll show you how to keep it clean and protected.

Yes—we work hard to match your surrounding teeth in color, shape, and feel. Most people can’t tell which tooth has a crown.

That depends on your insurance and the type of material. We’ll go over everything with you before we start—no surprises.
