7 Reasons to Visit Your Riverside, CA Crown Dentist
A healthy, functional smile is important to your overall health, happiness, and well-being. Damaged or decayed teeth not only ruin your smile’s appearance but also put your oral health and function at risk. At the office of Neal Edwards, DDS, we repair and restore compromised teeth with dental crowns. A visit to your Riverside, California, crown dentist near me will have you smiling confidently again in no time!Â
Getting a crown on your tooth is a fairly straightforward process. Here are seven reasons to visit your Riverside, CA dentist for crown treatment:
1. Repair a Cracked or Broken Tooth
Cracks in a tooth are cause for concern as bacteria can seep into the inner layers of your tooth and damage its connective tissues and nerves. If the crack worsens, it can eventually fracture your tooth, making it necessary to have it removed. A dental crown can restore your tooth by providing a new outer structure. A crown will protect your tooth from further damage and preserve its usefulness for the future.
2. Protect a Tooth with a Large Filling Â
Teeth with extensive decay require large fillings for cavity treatment. Over time, however, these fillings can weaken and break down, putting your tooth at risk of reinfection. Teeth with large fillings often need to be reinforced with dental crowns to protect them from future decay and damage. A crown will salvage your tooth for future use.
3. Relieve Tooth SensitivityÂ
Teeth that are worn and eroded often become more sensitive to temperature changes in your mouth. This can cause discomfort and pain when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks. A dental crown forms a protective seal around your tooth, relieving sensitivity and pain.

4. Support a Root Canal
Root canal procedures help save severely infected teeth by removing the diseased pulp of your tooth. Removing the pulp, however, leaves your tooth weak and brittle. To compensate, Dr. Edwards can crown your tooth. The crown will fortify your tooth’s structure so it can continue to be used.

5. Restore a Tooth Eroded by BruxismÂ
Your teeth naturally wear down over time, but bruxism, aka teeth grinding, can wear them down even quickly. Consistent grinding will eventually wear down the enamel on your teeth, making them flatter and shorter. A dental crown replaces the exterior of your tooth to restore its original shape, height, and color.
6. Reshape an Odd-sized or Misshapen ToothÂ
Cosmetic crowns improve the appearance of stained, misshapen, and oddly sized teeth to make your smile more uniform and pleasing. A custom ceramic or porcelain crown will fit in seamlessly with your smile, restoring its natural beauty.
7. Complete Bridge or Dental Implant Treatment Â
Crowns serve as replacement teeth for single-tooth implants, filling the gaps left by missing natural teeth. Crowns also help support dental bridges, restoring your smile to a whole and healthy state again.

Erin’s Experience With Teeth Grinding
My name’s Aaron Phillips, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about seven years since he opened his practice. The treatment that I’ve received that’s made the biggest difference in my smile has really been addressing my grinding. So I grind a lot. I grind at night, I grind during the day. I’m clenching, and so I’ve cracked a molar and he’s had to fill another molar where I’ve just ground away. It’s down to dentin, and that’s made a big difference for me in terms of pain and coping through the day. So through his treatment, Dr. Edwards has really helped, I think, preserve and save my teeth because I just grind so hard. But he’s also helped me address pain that I have throughout the day. I have a lot of jaw pain. It creates headaches and tension in my neck, and it was really impacting my daily life.
And so with his help, I’ve been able to address that and save my teeth. So Dr. Edwards, his entire team make us feel really comfortable here in the office. They greet us, they know us, they know the details of our family and our kids. And because we’ve been patients for so long, they just really make us feel like we’re home. It’s a very comfortable environment for us. If folks are interested in getting dental treatment, I think they should choose Dr. Edwards because he’s honest and trustworthy and he’ll tell you what you need and then he’ll follow through. And his staff, they’re amazing. They make you feel very comfortable, very trusting, and they make you feel like family.

Kibra’s Experience With Dental Implants
My name is Kyra Men, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about 15 years now. So the treatment that I received with Dr. Edwards that made the biggest difference for me were my implants. I needed an implant. I needed a bridge. I mean, my confidence was shot because my teeth had a lot of issues. Your smile is everything. I’m an educator. I teach kids. I sing a lot, and so being nervous about what you’re going to look like on camera, it really is a thing. So I think just the implants, being able to regain that confidence, it was everything. I decided to get the bridge repair and the implants because my teeth, when he went in to try to repair them, they weren’t salvageable, and so we had to do something to replace my existing teeth. I just felt overall restored. I felt a lot more confident.
I was excited to explore the other treatments that he suggested as well. If someone is interested in a bridge repair treatment, I would say definitely choose Dr. Edwards because he takes time to make sure the small details are covered. For instance, the color of the teeth, you could tell the difference between their natural teeth and then the bridge repair. With him, that’s not the case. He takes the time to make sure that there’s a perfect color match. He maintains the integrity of the shape of the tooth, and even any of the spacing that your normal teeth would have.

Lou’s Experience With Same Day Crowns
My name is Lou Monville, and I have been a patient of Dr. Edwards for seven years. So the treatment that I received here that made the biggest difference in my smile is these two things right here. So those teeth got broken in high school, plain water polo, like a lot of my dental work, and I had some old crowns. They were getting to the point that they needed to be replaced, and so Dr. Edwards says it’s time to replace those. But what blew my mind was it was done in a day. I was in and out of here in less than two hours with two brand new teeth that actually looked like my teeth. My wife was blown away. The technology now and the technology that Dr. Edwards has is phenomenal. I was always kind of cautious with my smile, real up close with those kind of big false teeth, and now you can’t tell the difference.
My kids noticed the difference. My family noticed the difference. So it’s been probably one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. Well, if you’re going to have a crown treatment, why would I tell you to go see Dr. Edwards? First off, the attention to detail that was super important. Then two, just the technology, the ability to not have to walk around with a false tooth or a temporary, two crowns in and out, two hours. I’ve never experienced that in my life to have that repair look phenomenal, but to be done, when you walk out and you’ve got your smile, you can’t beat it.
