Through procedures such as veneers, whitening and dental crowns, Dr. Mafi can give your face a more youthful look and help you brighten your entire smile. And you won’t have to worry about toxic materials when you visit her here in San Diego.

Dental Crowns
Dr. Mafi uses dental crowns to cover teeth that are misshaped, misaligned, cracked, discolored, or have other imperfections. Dental crowns decrease discomfort in teeth and offer extra support to those that are weak or damaged. Practicing dentistry the natural way, Dr. Mafi’s dental crowns are made with the highest quality materials available – taking into account her patients’ allergies and sensitivities. Dental crowns for Dr. Mafi’s patients are fashioned in her dentist office in San Diego to provide the same strength and appearance as a healthy tooth.
Am I a Candidate for a Dental Crown?
At some point in their lifetime, most people will face damage to the enamel of their teeth. Teeth become cracked, chipped or discolored due to a vast range of occurrences from severe trauma to the natural effects of aging.
When decay or damage to the tooth is significant, it can be covered and reinforced with a dental crown. Dental crowns protect what remains of the tooth and can restore the beauty of a whole tooth. However, dental crowns only work when the tooth’s root is still healthy and intact.
Dr. Mafi makes it her priority to spend time educating her patients regarding their options. Discuss your restorative options with Dr. Mafi after your initial examination.
Placing Dental Crowns
It is important to Dr. Mafi that her patients in San Diego are comfortable and well informed as to any dental procedures they may be considering. Here in Dr. Mafi’s San Diego office, the process for having a dental crown placed is fairly straightforward:
- Dr. Mafi reshapes the original tooth.
- She then anesthetizes the area of the tooth that will be crowned and removes any decayed material.
- Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Mafi takes and impression so that the dental crown can be made to precisely fit the tooth.
- Dr. Mafi’s patients have the luxury of high tech 3D CEREC, which means that while crowns normally take at least two visits, Dr. Mafi’s patients can be in and out of her San Diego office in a single visit with a ceramic crown, onlay or veneer.
- The dental crown is then cemented onto your tooth.
A crown is one of the most common dental procedures performed today and with proper care, the benefits can last a lifetime. Be sure to talk to Dr. Mafi about dental crowns so that you can explore the best options for your particular needs.
