Dental Crowns in La Mesa

DENTAL CROWNS FOR SAN DIEGO, CA

For teeth that are badly damaged, dental crowns can be an effective treatment option. The dental crown procedure utilizes tooth-shaped coverings made of ceramic or porcelain to restore strength and eliminate discomfort. In addition, dental crowns may be used to anchor a dental bridge or to cap a dental implant post.

Dental crowns are made of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal. The type of dental crown material utilized during your dental crown procedure will depend on your unique needs and goals as well as the recommendation of La Mesa cosmetic dentists, Dr. Jeff Gray and Dr. Hurtado.

THE DENTAL CROWN PROCEDURE

The dental crown procedure is typically completed in two stages. Your dentist will remove portions of your natural tooth’s structure to make a well-fitting crown. An impression will be sent to the lab. This lab will be create your new crown in about two weeks. A temporary dental crown will help you chew and speak normally while you wait for your new permanent crown.

When you return to our office in La Mesa, the temporary crown will be removed, and your custom dental crown will be securely bonded in place to create a new smile.

When ever I have called Dr. Grays office , they have always been more the happy to offer any service I might need. Yesterday after not having been to their office in a couple of years , I was again greeted by staff like an old friend, and when Dr. Gray had a free moment, he came in to say hi and made sure everything again was ok and I was well taken care of. We chatted for a moment and when my service was done and I left a very happy customer. His staff is so thorough in making sure you are treated as a very important “friend” .
Thank you Dr. Gray and staff..

I have been lucky to have had Dr. Gray as my dentist for over 25 years. He and his entire staff are incredibly professional, but warm and welcoming at every moment. Jeff is absolutely one of the most competent dentists in the country, and at the same time, sensitive and kind to every patient. He specializes in comfortable care!! The office is beautiful and relaxing. I just had an old crown completely replaced in one morning….sat in the chair at 8 am, dozed off for the procedure and out the door at 11:30 with a new tooth!
I would recommend Dr. Gray to anyone and give a very strong Five Stars to his amazing office.

I just completed my veneers with Dr. Gray and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and outcome! The entire team is so caring and gifted from Dr. Gray to Michelle the dental technician to Mike the ceramicist. Together, with their patience and listening to my tailored needs for shape, color, etc. they transformed my entire smile like I didn’t think possible. I sat back and watched my favorite shows and before I knew it, I was finished. It couldn’t be easier! I will never look elsewhere for all my dental care needs in the future- the Office of Dr. Jeff Gray is IT!

The perfect dental office: not only is the office beautiful & pristine but from the moment you’re greeted, you’re well taken care of and a welcoming smile. The doctors, oral hygienist (who do a phenomenal job, by the way) & the office staff are all very courteous & professional above all else. The rooms are equipped modern with multiple TVs & patient-friendly. You also have the option, too, to listen to music of your choice with earphones & a blanket to keep you cozy if you’re cold. The professionalism & integrity of Dr. Gray’s Dental Office merits all the recognition given here. Thank you for making my experience a positive one.

I am so happy to have found a dentist office like Jeff Gray Cosmetic and Sedation Dentistry. The staff is very friendly and professional. I met Dr. Hurtado on my initial consultation, and he explained clearly how the dental implant procedure works. Jenny was helpful explaining the different financial options available, and stayed in touch during the reopening of the office. I chose to be sedated for my implant procedure. It was the most relaxing, painless procedure that I’ve ever had. I never felt any discomfort, and two weeks later I’m so happy to have had it done. Thank you Dr. Gray and staff.
