Restore and protect damaged teeth with dental crowns in Redding & Red Bluff
When a tooth is weakened by deep decay, a large crack, or root canal treatment, a simple filling may not be enough to restore it to its full strength and appearance. Our custom dental crowns in Redding and Red Bluff are designed to rebuild and protect compromised teeth, bringing back their strength, appearance, and function.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown (also known as a tooth cap) is a full-coverage restoration that completely covers and surrounds a damaged tooth. It’s custom-made from strong, long-lasting materials to improve the durability and appearance of a tooth that’s been damaged or worn down. Crowns are an excellent solution to restore proper shape, size, and strength while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
What can dental crowns treat?
At Moore, Pascarella & Heinzen, we provide tailored dental crowns in Redding and Red Bluff to address a wide range of dental issues, including:
- Teeth weakened by cracks or fractures
- Large or worn-out fillings that are breaking down
- Teeth that have been treated with a root canal
- Moderate to severe tooth decay
- Discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening
- Missing teeth (as part of a bridge or dental implant)
- Cosmetic concerns like broken or misshapen teeth
Whether you need a single crown or multiple restorations, we design each one with your natural smile, facial features, and skin tone in mind to ensure the most natural result possible.

Your options for dental crowns
We offer crowns in a variety of materials, including modern ceramics that mimic the look and feel of real enamel. Depending on your needs, lifestyle, and the tooth’s location in your mouth, we’ll recommend the best material for strength, aesthetics, and longevity.
Traditional dental crowns
Traditionally, dental crowns require a two-step process. After we prepare your tooth, we take impressions (now often done with digital scanners rather than messy trays) to create an accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums. We’ll send this model to a dental lab where your permanent crown is crafted.
While your final crown is being made, you’ll wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth and keep your smile functional. Most traditional crowns are ready within one to two weeks.
CEREC same-day dental crowns in Redding & Red Bluff
If you’re looking for a faster solution, we offer same-day crowns thanks to advanced CEREC technology. These crowns are crafted in our office during a single visit with no temporary crown or follow-up appointment required.
After scanning your teeth with 3D imaging technology, we use CAD/CAM software to design your crown with precision. Then, we mill the crown right in our office and place it the very same day, restoring your smile in just one appointment.
What is the process of getting a crown?
The dental crown process begins by carefully preparing the tooth. We’ll remove any decay or damage and shape the remaining structure to accommodate the crown. For traditional crowns, we’ll take impressions and place a temporary crown until your final one is ready. For same-day crowns, we’ll skip the temporary step and go straight to designing and placing your permanent crown.
Once the crown is ready, we’ll cement it in place and fine-tune your bite to make sure everything feels just right. Most people adjust quickly to a new crown, and our team will be here to support you every step of the way.
Caring for your dental crown
In the first few days after your crown is placed, we recommend avoiding sticky or overly hard foods while the cement fully sets. After that, treat your crown like a natural tooth. Brush and floss daily, and keep up with your regular dental visits.
With proper care, most crowns last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer, depending on their material and how well you maintain them.
