Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to bring it back to full strength and function. Crowns restore the natural shape, size, and appearance of your tooth while protecting what remains underneath. Each crown is carefully matched to the color of your surrounding teeth, so it blends in and looks completely natural. With proper care, a well-made crown can protect your tooth and keep your smile looking its best for many years.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “Dr. Shahrokh and his team are simply AMAZING! It has been over 20+ years since I had my first set of 12 crowns and it was time to redo them and add a few more to the count. In total, I will need to do 16 new crowns and not only has it been the easiest process, they have been extremely helpful and flexible in making sure all the finances were in order and scheduling me in to keep everything moving forward.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “While on vacation in CA, my husband’s crown fell out. They got us in right before the July 4th holiday and fixed him up. Super great staff, explained everything…and the price was so reasonable. Don’t hesitate!” — Nina
- 5 out of 5 stars. “I consider myself lucky to have found this dental practice. We are new to the area and I needed some extensive work to improve the health of teeth, as well as my smile. I needed 8 crowns and some build up of my molars to align my bite.Dr Ali Shahrokh is an experienced dentist both in general dentistry and cosmetics. He is warm, understanding and attentive. Their facility is beautiful and their staff members are caring. I have never waited more than 3 minutes. I am very happy with the final look. My front teeth are proportional to the rest of my teeth. The color of my teeth matches very nicely and it looks natural. Don't make any decisions before you meet them and consult with Dr Shahrokh. You owe it to yourself to make an educated decision about your teeth, health and smile.” — Roya

Dr. Shahrokh, the Office Manager, and dental hygienists are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and they take the time to explain everything clearly - which is HUGE for me! :)A little background on me - I’ve been dealing with challenging dental issues lately (cracked teeth due to grinding, an extraction, crowns, and an implant), and they’ve gone above and beyond to help get it resolved in a timely AND affordable way. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and reassuring.I truly trust this team and rely on them for all of my dental needs and any future issues.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “I don’t usually leave reviews, but wanted to support Dr. Shahrokh and the team at AllSmilesDental—they’ve been a great addition to the Encinitas community. Both my family and I (including my wife and kids) have had work done here, and the experience has been consistently excellent.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “I came to Dr.Shahrokh with a second opinion on a dental problem I had been having. His diagnosis and treatment plan is both reasonable and efficient. He explains everything with visuals (pictures). Coming in, I was expecting to be recommended for two crowns. However, he advised just one, with a redo of a filling for the other. With a previous dentist, I had been recommended to remove my wisdom tooth, but Dr.Shahrokh had the foresight to advise to keep it for the need of a potential bridge.Through pictures, foresight and explanation, Dr.Shahrokh has builds trust quickly. I highly recommend him and this office!” — Brenna

Does Getting a Dental Crown in Encinitas, CA, Hurt?
Many patients are relieved to learn that getting a crown is a comfortable, straightforward experience. Before any work begins, Dr. Shahrokh numbs the area with local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain while the tooth is prepared. Afterward, you may notice mild sensitivity for a few days, which typically fades quickly and can be eased with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find the process far easier than expected. At All Smiles Dental Studio, your comfort is a priority at every step of your treatment.
What Are Dental Crowns Made Of?
Dental crowns can be crafted from several materials, each offering its own balance of strength and appearance. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular for their natural, tooth-colored look, making them ideal for visible front teeth. Other options include porcelain-fused-to-metal for added durability and all-metal crowns for back teeth that handle heavy chewing. All Smiles Dental Studio also offers CEREC crowns crafted in a single visit. Dr. Shahrokh will recommend the material best suited to your tooth's location, function, and your aesthetic goals.
What Should You Do If Your Crown Comes Loose or Falls Off?
Although crowns are built to be durable, they can occasionally loosen or come off due to decay underneath, trauma, or normal wear. If this happens, don't panic—save the crown, keep the area clean, and avoid chewing on that side. Contact All Smiles Dental Studio promptly so Dr. Shahrokh can examine the tooth and recement or replace the crown as needed. Acting quickly protects the exposed tooth from damage and sensitivity, and helps ensure your restoration can be successfully restored.
How much does dental crowns in Encinitas, CA cost?
The cost of dental crowns depends on a few factors, including the scope of your treatment plan and whether additional imaging or procedures are needed. During your visit, we'll walk you through a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises.
