Dental Crowns & Caps

A dental crown — sometimes called a cap — is a custom restoration that completely covers a tooth above the gumline. Think of it as a protective helmet for a tooth that's too damaged or weakened to function safely on its own. Crowns restore a tooth's original strength, shape, and appearance, allowing you to bite and chew normally again while protecting the underlying tooth from further damage.

Crowns are one of the most versatile and common restorations in dentistry. They're used to rebuild a tooth after a root canal, to protect a tooth with a large filling or a crack, to restore a heavily worn or broken tooth, to cover a dental implant, and even to improve the look of a misshapen or deeply discolored tooth. At Olive Dental Studio, Dr. Hakobyan crafts each crown to fit precisely and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Not all crowns are equal. A well-made crown fits the tooth precisely at the margin where it meets the gum, which keeps bacteria out and protects the long-term health of the tooth underneath. A poorly fitting crown, by contrast, can trap bacteria, irritate the gums, and fail prematurely. This is why the precision of the dentist and the quality of the dental lab make such a difference in how long a crown lasts and how natural it looks.

Dr. Hakobyan uses digital impressions for accuracy and partners with trusted ceramic labs to produce crowns that look and function like natural teeth. The result is a restoration that not only solves the immediate problem but holds up beautifully for years — which is exactly what you want from an investment in your smile.

Whether you've cracked a tooth, just finished a root canal, or have an old filling that's finally given out, a dental crown is often the restoration that brings the tooth back to full health and function. The process is comfortable, predictable, and — with quality materials — long-lasting.

If you're in Burbank, Glendale, North Hollywood, or the surrounding area and think you may need a crown, schedule a consultation at Olive Dental Studio. Dr. Hakobyan will evaluate the tooth, explain whether a crown is the right choice, and give you a clear plan and honest pricing before any work begins.
