Dental Crowns

When a tooth is just slightly chipped or cracked, the problem is primarily an aesthetic one that can be addressed through cosmetic dentistry treatments such as porcelain veneers and dental bonding. Sometimes, however, this is not the case. Whether it occurs as a result of advanced tooth decay or an injury sustained during an accident, major damage to a tooth can be quite serious. Not only does it look bad, but it can also be quite painful or uncomfortable to live with.

From such instances of chipped teeth or cracked teeth, we often use dental crowns at our San Francisco practice. Dental crowns are caps that fit directly over a tooth that has been severely damaged. The dental crown will protect the tooth from any further damage and will also help reduce any discomfort or sensitivity associated with the damaged tooth. The dental crowns can be made from a tooth colored material, to ensure it blends in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Testimonials

  • Having a dental emergency is never fun.  After being recommended to Dr Hee through a friend I setup an appointment for the next day.  The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of extra touches to make your visit enjoyable, like a list of movies to watch and coffee or tea.  This office loves technology and embraces it in a refreshing way. My second visit was today and they did a great job.

  • I also had a dental emergency and got nothing by the best care from dr. hee. He was genuinely concerned about my recovery and I was glad I was referred to him by a friend in the area. A few days after visiting his office, he even personally called me to follow-up on my healing. I have nothing but good things to say about the courtesy of dr. hee and his staff in the office. They took great care of me at a time when I really needed it!

  • I guess I've been lucky that of the three dentists that I've seen in my life, I've never had a bad experience.  Dr. Hee continues that tradition. I like that he explains my options, including price and the estimated lifespan of each option. Everyone is super friendly.  Also, can I say this place is like a spa? Also, the movie goggles are killer for longer procedures.

  • I, and my extended family, have been patients at Dr. Hee's office since he opened his business 25-30 years ago.  His office is very clean, organized, and their staff is top-notch.  Everyone is very pleasant and always explain procedures well.  While I have had many dental procedures over the years for an issue with grinding my teeth, I can happily say that I am nearly cavity-free thanks, in part, to Dr. Hee's guidance regarding fillings and maintenance.  I look forward to visiting them twice a year, and feel very lucky that I have had such excellent service and treatment for all these years.  Thanks Dr. Hee and staff!
