Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns in San Diego County & Beyond
At A+ Family Dentistry, our doctors have many years of experience with crowns and have placed thousands of them. Their advanced training in cosmetic dentistry has equipped them with the technical skills needed to produce aesthetic, natural-looking restorations. In addition, our crowns are made of durable porcelain, and we partner with an excellent local lab that provides custom shading for the best possible results.
Our Durable, Natural-Looking Crowns
Our doctors use high-quality, metal-free porcelain materials for crowns. During your consultation, the doctor will determine which material would be best for your situation. All-porcelain e.Max® crowns have a tooth-like translucence, which makes them appear very lifelike. They are also very strong and long-lasting. We also offer extra-durable crowns made of porcelain fused to zirconia. These are more suitable for back teeth and for patients who grind or clench their teeth.
We Work with a High Quality Lab
For manufacturing the crowns, we use a local San Diego-based lab that the doctors have been working with for a long time. The lab technicians are very knowledgeable, do great work and offer the highest-quality materials. An important advantage of working with a local lab is that, if necessary, patients can go to the lab for custom shading to ensure that their final restoration looks natural and matches their natural teeth perfectly.
Our Crowns procedure
The crowns procedure usually requires two visits after your initial consultation. In the first visit, the doctor will prepare your teeth for the crown and place a temporary crown.
Within two weeks, your final crown will return from the lab, and you will come in to have it placed. The doctor will cement the crown over the prepared tooth or dental implant and take an X-ray to ensure that your new crown fits properly in its place. In addition, at our Poway location we offer one-visit using the CEREC® system.
What Are Crowns Used For?
A crown can be used for many reasons:
- To restore and protect a damaged or decayed tooth
- To top a dental implant to replace a single tooth
- To protect the dead tooth from fracture after a root canal has been performed
- To correct your bite alignment
- To cosmetically enhance your smile by correcting discoloration or misshapen teeth

Reviews
From the patients who know us best.
We're proud of the relationships we build — here's what our San Diego, Sorrento Valley, and Poway patients are saying.
"A+ dentistry has been awesome! I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year, so they took a full scan of my mouth and explained in detail every step I should take to improve my hygiene and any procedures they recommended. They were transparent on each service and did not try to sell me anything."
"10/10. The best dentist I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few considering I move around a lot. Dr. Victor, Jahaida, and staff are very kind. They take pretty good care of you."
"I've been coming to A+ for years for cleanings, fillings, and Invisalign. Everyone has been amazing, from the dental hygienists to dental assistants, the doctors and the front desk staff."
"Was recommended by a friend and it was the best recommendation to date! Dr. Justine and assistants were all so kind. They spoke about costs upfront and earned my trust with their transparency."
"I cannot recommend this place enough. Went here for a 2nd opinion. Their office was so nice, clean, and well equipped. The staff is amazing — they made me feel so comfortable."
