Dr. Kevin Tan, a distinguished graduate from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2014, brings passion and dedication to his practice. When he’s not helping patients achieve optimal oral health, Kevin embraces the discipline and resilience cultivated from his pursuit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where he currently holds a purple belt.
This multifaceted dentist also cherishes life outside his profession. As a devoted dog-dad to a French Bulldog and a Puggle, Kevin knows the importance of companionship. His family is growing too; he’s the proud father of a 20-month-old son, Greyson, and just welcomed his newest addition, Landon, in August.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance, allowing you to bite and smile with confidence.
Dental crowns are highly versatile and commonly used to: protect a week tooth from breaking, restore a tooth that is cracked, work down, or severely decayed, cover and support a tooth with a large filling, and improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
The cost of a dental crown depends on several factors, including the material chosen, the location of the tooth, and your insurance coverage. At Bernardo Hills Dentistry, we’ll walk you through your options and provide a clear estimate during your visit.
Yes—they’re a durable and long-lasting solution that restores both function and aesthetics. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, your dental crown can last many years, making it a smart investment in your dental health.
