At Shoreline Dental Studio, we craft ceramic crowns using advanced materials like porcelain and zirconia to restore damaged teeth and protect your smile. With a reputation for quality and aesthetic excellence, our doctors design crowns that mimic natural teeth in both form and function – helping patients across San Clemente and Mission Viejo enjoy long-lasting dental health.
When teeth are weakened by decay, trauma, or wear, dental crowns offer a reliable solution. At Shoreline, we use high-strength porcelain and zirconia to create custom crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Whether you’re protecting a tooth after a root canal or restoring one damaged by bite force, crowns allow you to regain function without compromising aesthetics.
These restorations are designed to last – securely bonded to the tooth and shaped to ensure a comfortable fit. Because our ceramic crowns are metal-free, there’s no gray line near the gums, and the result is nearly indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Once your case is planned, our process involves just two visits:
Our doctors work closely with trusted labs to deliver precision-crafted custom crowns – whether you’re restoring a single tooth or rebuilding your smile.
Every smile we restore is backed by a team of passionate professionals. Meet the doctors who make Shoreline Dental Studio one of the top-rated practices in Orange County.

“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

With proper care, porcelain crowns typically last 5–15 years – sometimes even longer if maintained with good hygiene and regular cleanings.
While resistant to most stains, porcelain may discolor slightly with regular exposure to coffee, tea, or soda. Routine dental cleanings help maintain their brightness.
A zirconia crown is a metal-free cap made from zirconium dioxide – one of the most durable ceramic materials in dentistry. It offers excellent strength, natural aesthetics, and no risk of metal showing at the gum line.
Zirconia crowns can last 10–15 years or longer with proper brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.
These crowns are more stain-resistant than natural enamel, but regular care is still essential to keep them looking their best.
