Saving a Cracked Tooth in Camarillo, CA
When you crack a tooth, there are multiple tools and techniques to repair the damage. However, there is one option that stands above the rest: the dental crown. A crown is a cap, typically consisting of porcelain that matches the shape and size of the tooth. The crown acts as a strong cover that protects the tooth from infection and losing the tooth. Without the crown, the tooth will not even be able to handle the pressure of chewing. It is important to treat a cracked tooth as soon as possible by seeking treatment from a professional endodontist.

Dr. Shawn and the entire team at Camarillo Smile Spa are absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Shawn takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.The office is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive experience. The quality of care is exceptional, and it's clear they truly care about their patients and their smiles.If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to providing outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Shawn and Camarillo Smile Spa. Five stars all the way!
My time at Smile Spa was truly such a smooth and kind experience. The staff was all incredibly polite and respectful. Dr. Shawn explained information to me that other dentists had never communicated before. I was given options for my treatment and educated on each route.I've never had such a lovely experience at the dentist before! Immediately, you can tell patient well-being and comfort are top priorities for this office.
Having to lose a tooth is never a fun day but it is a comfort knowing that I was in good hands! Literally! Lol but seriously Dr. Shawn's experience made me feel safe and knowing I was with the right Doctor for the help I needed.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this office. I had a canine tooth root canal fall out in the middle of the night. I called them and they were able to get me in the very next morning.The front desk team, Christina and Kristine, were both incredibly nice and easy to work with. The office itself is beautiful and feels like a high-end, professional establishment. The treatment rooms face the Camarillo airport, offering great views of planes taking off and landing.Nestor and Luz in the back kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Shawn is one of the best dentists I’ve ever worked with — you can clearly tell how passionate he is about his work, and it shows in the results.I received a bone graft and had a broken wisdom tooth extracted. I was out of there in just 45 minutes with no pain, my prescriptions already waiting at the pharmacy, and a clear treatment plan moving forward.I highly recommend this office to anyone!
Dr. Shawn is fantastic. He is caring and exceptionally skilled in his field. I felt comfortable and safe with all of my dental work procedures. Highly recommend!
Excellent dental care. No pain. Caring professional team. Recommend!
Dr. Shawn and Dr. Joelle are so kind and welcoming, and genuinely two of the most down to earth and knowledgeable dentists I have ever met! They made sure all of my questions were answered but that I also understood everything about my procedure and felt super secure in my decision. Additionally, Itana and Christina are SO beyond nice and communicative! I am super thankful for everybody at Smile Spa making me feel so welcome and taken care of!
Dr Shawn is genuinely one of the best doctors ive had. He did a great job with my wisdom teeth removal and the healing is going well. I was extremely anxious/in a panic but he was able to ease my nerves and it overall went very well. Cannot speak highly enough of him! (Even while i was in the waiting room another patient was telling me how wonderful he is and that im in great hands) 10/10 recommend!
Very helpful and knowledgeable people, very friendly and Professional

I recently saw Dr. Shawn at the Smile Spa Camarillo and cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Shawn and the whole staff was attentive, knowledgable, detailed, and claiming throughout the whole process. I was referred to them by a mutual friend after not being satisfy with my current dentist, where I spent a lot of money and hassle with getting a crown just to need the tooth extracted after 9 months because of a missed fracture. I reached out to Smile Spa and Dr. Shawn was able to see me within a day. During my visit, they performed multiple test and with advanced technology (including a CT scan of my teeth) was able to identify the problem and throughly explained the treatment plan. The tooth was extracted the same day. It was as smooth and painless a dental procedure can be. Dr. Shawn and the team even followed up through text the next day to see how I was doing. Thank you Dr. Shawn and the Smile Spa team!
Dr Nguyen extracted a tooth for me and will be performing a bone graft and then Implant. The extraction went very well with minimal pain and swelling. Dr Nguyen even called me a couple days later to see how I was feeling and to call him at any hour with any concerns! I look forward to completing the implant!
Clean, modern, and relaxing. The team made me feel at ease the whole time. Great experience!
Dr. Joelle, Dr. Shawn and the entire team are exceptional. They combine advanced technology with genuine care and attention to detail. From the first consultation to the breakdown of my treatment plan and then follow-up care as well.

Great experience with something that isn’t usually pleasant! Dr Shawn & his assistant are wonderful!
Dr. Nguyen and his team are top notch! They will sit down and listen to your concerns and help you make the best decision for your health.
Had the opportunity to be a patient at the office for a consultation. The moment I walked through the door the front staff was extremely welcoming. X-rays were taken by the assistant who were extremely positive and conversational. Both Dr. Joelle and Dr. Shawn came in and did the consultation with me. They explained some of my options on my concerns while giving me more insight on what the procedure entailed. It was such an amazing experience. I’m glad to have found a new dental home. Already looking forward to coming back for the treatments they recommended
Great people, they are amazing! Love the decor! Very relaxing place to be.

Frequently Asked Questions About Saving a Cracked Tooth
Symptoms of a cracked tooth
To understand the symptoms of a cracked tooth, it is crucial to understand that the teeth have layers. The outer layer is known as the enamel, followed by the dentin and then the pulp. The dental pulp contains the nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp begins to move around or the crack is severe enough to damage the pulp, you will begin to feel intense pain. Symptoms of a crack in a tooth: Erratic pain resulting from chewing Pain when releasing biting pressure Pain from consuming something hot or cold Inconsistent pain that seems to come and go with certain actions Difficulty finding the tooth that is causing the discomfort Since it can be difficult to identify the source of the pain beyond the teeth, we recommend scheduling an appointment as soon as possible. When one cracks the outer layer of the tooth, there is a possibility of the inner parts of the tooth moving around and causing irritation. In other cases, the crack can be deep enough that an infection forms in the dental pulp. Without specialized treatment, the infection will spread to the bones and surrounding gums, causing a specialist to have to consider extracting teeth in serious cases. Fortunately, you can avoid all of those issues by seeking professional treatment from an endodontist. If you seek treatment to repair a tooth before the crack allows an infection into the tooth, then a dental crown will be the most effective fix.
The dental crown process
By customizing the crown, the endodontist can ensure that the crown fits properly on the tooth and the surrounding teeth. Not only will the crown protect the tooth, it will also have the appearance of a natural tooth. This way, people will not be able to notice that it is artificial in the first place. In order to place a dental crown, the patient will have to make at least two appointments. During the first appointment, we will take measurements and a mold of the tooth. In some cases, the endodontist may need to remove a bit more of the tooth to place the crown. However, it may be better to place the crown without altering the tooth further. If the endodontist offers Same-Day Dentistry, then you will be able to get the crown that day. Otherwise, a dental lab will then customize the crown to the exact specifications of the mold. Once the crown is complete, the patient will return for a second appointment to place the crown. The endodontist will place the crown and cement it in place. This way, the patient will be able to eat and use the tooth without worry. Contrary to popular belief, you will not need to stop eating your favorite foods with a dental crown. However, you may need to come in for some maintenance every few years.

Taking care of a dental crown
Since a dental crown is artificial, you will not need to worry about the crown becoming infected. However, you will need to continue cleaning the teeth and gums, being sure to keep any food from sticking to the crown. It is also beneficial to avoid biting down directly on anything that is too hard and avoid causing other damage. By having an endodontist repair your tooth, you will not have to worry about the dental crown falling out or becoming loose. A dental crown is an effective solution to repair the cracked tooth in most cases. However, if a more invasive procedure is necessary, then an endodontist is the best place to be. If you are struggling with a chipped or cracked tooth, do not hesitate to call today. It is crucial to seek professional treatment as soon as possible. Thanks to the easy level of care a dental crown requires, few people experience any difficulties with their dental crowns. Seek treatment today to save your tooth tomorrow. If you live in the Camarillo area, call 805-243-9588 to schedule your dental exam so that you can remain in good health or receive treatment for a current condition.
