Your teeth are strong and durable, but they face many stressors throughout their lifespan. The food and drinks you consume can wear down enamel and encourage harmful bacteria. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay, cracks, and other damage that affect both the appearance and function of your smile.
A dental crown is one of the most effective ways to restore a damaged tooth. In cases where the root is healthy but the upper structure of the tooth is compromised, a crown provides the strength needed to protect and preserve what’s left.
A dental crown is a custom-made cover that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used after root canals, to repair broken or worn-down teeth, or to protect teeth with large fillings. They can also be used to complete a dental implant or as part of a bridge.
We offer porcelain dental crowns that blend beautifully with your natural teeth, giving you both durability and aesthetics.
You may benefit from a crown if you have:
You may feel symptoms of a damaged tooth over time, or it may happen suddenly. Sensitivity to hot and cold or ongoing toothaches are good indicators that something is wrong in your mouth. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have your teeth evaluated early so we can prevent further damage and restore your smile effectively.
Getting a dental crown usually takes two visits. In the first appointment, we reshape the tooth and take impressions of your teeth to ensure your crown fits your bite and looks natural. Since every smile is unique, your crown is made just for you, not a generic fit.
While your permanent crown is being created, we place a temporary one to protect the tooth. Once your dental crown is ready, you’ll come back for the final placement. We use a strong dental cement to secure it and make any adjustments needed.
With regular brushing, flossing, and checkups, your crown can last up to 15 years. It’s designed to blend in seamlessly, so it will look and feel just like your natural tooth.
Dental crowns provide long-term benefits for both function and aesthetics. Here’s why so many patients choose them:
