What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are used to:
- Protect a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after a root canal
- Restore a severely decayed tooth when a filling isn’t enough
- Cover and protect a dental implant
- Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
Our crowns are designed to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
Depending on your needs, we offer several types of crowns, including:
- Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns – A strong option with a natural appearance.
- Zirconia Crowns – Extremely durable and long-lasting.
- Gold Crowns – A traditional option known for strength and longevity.
We will help you choose the best crown material based on your oral health, aesthetic goals, and bite function.
What to Expect During the Dental Crown Process
- Consultation & Exam – We assess the tooth and take digital impressions.
- Tooth Preparation – The damaged portion of the tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown.
- Temporary Crown Placement – A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the final one is being crafted.
- Custom Crown Placement – Once ready, the final crown is securely bonded for a perfect fit and natural appearance.
This process typically takes two visits, but for some cases, we may offer same-day crowns using advanced technology.
