What are dental crowns?
A dental crown is like a cap, usually made of porcelain or another strong material, that is placed over a tooth to protect it. Once it’s bonded in place and dried, the crown helps your tooth regain its original shape and size. With a crown, you can bite and chew comfortably while lowering the chances of any major issues.
Why are dental crowns needed?
At Sherman Oaks Smile Studio, Dr. Zarabian and the team use dental crowns to:
- Protect teeth that are weak
- Restore teeth that are broken or worn down
- Cover dental implants
- Secure dental bridges
- Cover teeth after root canal treatment
If you have stubborn stains or discoloration that cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening can’t fix, a dental crown might be a great option for you.
What’s the process for getting a dental crown?
Dr. Niki Zarabian reviews your dental records, conducts an oral exam, and takes X-rays of your tooth to assess the damage and/or decay. You qualify for a crown if a filling doesn’t fix the problem. Dr. Zarabian numbs your mouth with a local anesthetic and removes your tooth’s decaying or damaged portion. She cleans and rinses your teeth and takes digital impressions with an intraoral scanner. Then, Dr. Zarabian sends your impressions to a nearby dental lab that designs and manufactures a permanent crown. Before you leave, Dr. Zarabian covers your tooth with a temporary crown, allowing you to bite and chew.
When the dental lab finishes your custom crown, you return to Sherman Oaks Smile Studio. Dr. Zarabian replaces the temporary crown with the permanent one, polishes your teeth, and provides care instructions.
How do I take care of a dental crown?
- Brushing your teeth twice daily
- Flossing once daily
- Visiting Dr. Zarabian twice a year for an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning
- Wearing a mouthguard when playing sports
- Avoiding bad habits like nail-biting or chewing on ice cubes

Kathleen Silang2023-07-23I love Dr. Niki! I had a last minute appointment and she was able to squeeze me in. She gives the best injections and walks you through the process. The office is so chill and so comfortable, we were listening to Mariah Carey music. 100% recommend her!
Chloe Nik2023-06-17I had been to two other dentists because I wanted to get veneers. i feel like no one understood exactly what I wanted but Dr Niki. she explained everything so well i never felt rushed during the consult and she literally answered all of my questions. I was not looking for anything fake. I was very picky and she delivered with such a great detail. she was gentle and so nice.
Cameron Richard2023-06-02Dr. Niki did such a great job with fixing my chipped tooth in such a quick turn around! Her and her staff were wonderful in guiding me through the process and kept me informed on what to expect, and the tooth looks like it was never chipped! My previous dentist moved so this was a great experience for starting with a new dental office!
Abel Moreno2023-02-21Dr. Niki and her team are all amazing. Needing work done on your teeth is not always fun nor something to look forward to, but Dr. Niki is a great Dentist that knows what shes doing, is informative throughout the whole process, and genuinely cares about her patients. While in the chair I have no worries and she has my complete trust. I will see no other Dentist but her. The Hygienist Cristina is also amazing and does amazing work, my gums dont hurt like at other places from the past who tend to overdo it. Theres also a special assistant there that knows a great deal and is very efficient. She places my fillings, has made a few temporary crowns for me, and seems to be very experienced. Everyone there is very informative and ready to answer all questions very clearly. The front office staff seems to have everything in order as I am in and out with very little to sign or provide since my first visit. All my information is there and they run my insurance ahead of time in order to provide me, and all patients im sure, with details on what the insurance covers and what I would have to pay out of pocket for my visit/procedure. Clear and transparent interactions. Like I said, Amazing Team.
Stuart Lytton2023-02-20Excellent Results and Excellent Service.
Bill Sacks2023-02-14Amazingly quick and painless filling. I loved the optional shot before I left to counteract the Novocain. By the time I got home my mouth and lips were totally back to normal.

Shanna P.2023-01-31Dr. Zarabian’s office is extremely welcoming and professional. Unlike other medical and dental offices I have been too, I was taken to the dental room and seen by the doctor right away. Dr. Zarabian and her staff made me feel comfortable and informed when discussing all my treatment options and when completing my dental work. I highly recommend this dental office!
