Dental Crowns

Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.

Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make the smile appear “as new”. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

How long does it take to fit a dental crown?

Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

On the subsequent visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

Key Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Replaces missing teeth
  • Offers support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth
  • Looks completely natural
  • Fixes “smile” and functional chewing problems

What are the capabilities of crowns?

Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

My friend introduced Dr. Yoo office which he already went there few times. I was surprised at first, the dental office is like your home, the atmosphere is so warm and nice. Dr Yoo did really good job, she was gentle and friendly with me. The facilities is modern. Good point, you can watch movies or TV while you are doing dental works. Distract you from the sound, water and air.Not a lot of dental offices have that. The staff was great. For sure, I will come back and bring my family and friends. Thanks Dr Yoo for helping me.

I came there to fix my filling being came off for last week, food was stuck in a lot. Dr Yoo asked assistant to take the X-ray at the tooth to make sure there were not something happening under the root. Then, she showed me the X-rays of my tooth. She filled it for me, closed the gap so food could not stuck in. I was really pleased at tooth filling. I am sure come back next time for cleaning and some dental works.

Definitely satisfied with this Dental office! Exceptional service and very friendly. The dentist and staff are outstanding and as soon as you walk inside your greeted with a smile and also with a beverage of your choice, coffee, juice, or water.The environment is very clean and inviting once you walk inside the building. I've never had such a great experience at a dental office. This place is by far the best I've gone to! Also a plus is that the chair you sit in during the procedure gives you a massage that makes you very relaxed. Never experienced that at any other dentist. I myself don't like going to the dentist but since my first time i keep coming back!

I love this office! Super clean, very friendly staff and the Dr is soooo gentle I didn't feel a thing. I was immediately welcomed inside with a cup of tea and got to know the Dr before we started. Dr Yoo made sure to take her time with me and was very sweet. The assistant Carol and Anh are so cute and caring, very bubbly and made sure to explain step by step what was going on along the way. I enjoyed every moment of it and left with a huge smile. Definitely will be coming back!

I had a regular checkup and cleaning at this clinic for the first time. I get cleaning done regularly but was somewhat hesitant since I always felt sharp pain when the part close to gum is cleaned since my gum is eroded quite much. The cleaning was very through but I never felt any pain this time! So I shared my experience with the people around me who knows dental and they suggested it is possibly because the equipment is brand-new and advanced ones. It is true that this clinic is newly opened and everything is brand-new with top notch equipment. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I strongly recommend this clinic.

Let me start off with saying I haven't gone to the dentist in over 2 years because of my personal experiences with other dental offices. Dr Yoo is amazing! The office is very clean, has a calming environment to it and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. My appointment was made through the phone and the Dental Assistant Carol was extremely helpful in guiding me through their website to fill out my forms. When I came in to my appointment I was welcomed with a fresh cup of coffee which helped calm my nerves, not rushed at all and no waiting. Dr Yoo and her staff made sure to make me feel comfortable before sitting on that chair which they did. The other assistant Anne was very nice and made sure to explain to me everything that she was doing. Since I do live in Hayward Dr Yoo was able to do my cleaning and some fillings I needed done all in the same day. I didn't feel any pain she has a very light hand and the massage chairs helped too. Overall experience was a 10! I will definitely be coming back, the drive from Hayward to Fremont is worth it with this office. Good job Kay Dentistry! -Nano A.

I came in for a general cleaning and found out I had 4 fillings needed. I also had a chip in my front tooth for the last year that was long overdue. Dr. Yoo was able to perform my cleaning and 4 fillings in the same day! She knew I had a 45-minute commute from SF and was able to save me 2 trips back for my fillings. We scheduled an appointment for a week later to fix my front tooth. In the meantime, she gave me some teeth whitening strips so the shade would match the color of the chipped area of my front tooth. 4 fillings, a cleaning, and not looking like Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber anymore in less than a week? I found my new dentist. Thanks Dr. Yoo!
