Restore Function and Beauty to Your Smile
If you have damaged, worn, or discolored teeth, cosmetic dental crowns offer a natural-looking and long-lasting solution. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan provides expertly crafted ceramic and porcelain crowns in Vista, CA to restore your teeth’s strength, shape, and appearance — blending seamlessly with your smile.
Crowns are ideal for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. Whether you need to repair a broken tooth or enhance the aesthetics of your smile, Dr. Antwan will design a crown that complements your natural teeth and supports long-term oral health.
What Are Cosmetic Crowns?
Cosmetic crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” placed over a damaged or aesthetically imperfect tooth. They fully encase the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing protection, structure, and beauty.
We offer two premium crown options:
- Porcelain Crowns: Highly aesthetic, closely resemble natural tooth enamel, and ideal for front teeth
- Ceramic Crowns: Durable and biocompatible, offering a balance between strength and cosmetic appeal
Both types are custom-designed and color-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
When Are Crowns Needed?
You may benefit from a cosmetic crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A large filling that has weakened the tooth
- Severe discoloration or enamel erosion
- Misshapen teeth affecting your smile
- A tooth that has undergone Root Canal Therapy
- A dental implant that needs a functional, attractive crown
Crowns may also be part of a complete Smile Makeover or Veneer alternative for structurally compromised teeth.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your cosmetic crown procedure typically involves two visits:
- Preparation
Dr. Antwan will gently reshape the tooth and take digital impressions to create a crown that fits perfectly. A temporary crown is placed for protection. - Final Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, it will be securely bonded and adjusted for fit, bite, and aesthetics.
We work with trusted dental labs to ensure your crown is crafted with precision and natural detail.

FAQs: Cosmetic Dental Crowns
What’s the difference between porcelain and ceramic crowns?
Both materials are highly aesthetic. Porcelain is more translucent, making it ideal for front teeth. Ceramic offers enhanced strength and is often used for molars.
Are cosmetic crowns permanent?
With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Regular checkups and good hygiene are essential.
Do crowns look like natural teeth?
Yes. Each crown is custom-shaped and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Will I need a root canal before getting a crown?
Not always. A root canal is only necessary if the tooth has infected pulp or significant internal damage. Dr. Antwan will evaluate your tooth beforehand.
Can old crowns be replaced for cosmetic reasons?
Absolutely. We provide crown replacement for patients unhappy with older or poorly fitted restorations.
