Dental Crowns in Fremont
Crowns protect a weak, cracked or root canal treated tooth and restore full chewing strength. Porcelain, zirconia or gold, matched to your bite.
Serene Dental places porcelain, zirconia and gold crowns at our Fremont office. A traditional crown is delivered in two visits about two weeks apart. Most crowns are priced in the range of about 1,200 to 1,800 dollars in the Bay Area and many PPO plans cover 50 percent. At Serene Dental in Fremont, we care for patients from across the Tri-City area including Newark, Union City, Hayward and Milpitas.

Understanding restorative dentistry
A dental crown is a custom made cap that covers a tooth entirely. Crowns are used when a tooth is broken, has a very large filling, has had a root canal, or is being restored on top of a dental implant. They can be made from porcelain, zirconia, gold, or a metal and porcelain mix. A well placed crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer, especially if a nightguard is worn to protect it from clenching and grinding.
