Dental crowns are a highly effective solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. A crown, often called a 'cap,' is a custom-made covering that fits over the entire tooth. Crowns are designed to strengthen, protect, and improve the appearance of your natural tooth and, can be made from various materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns

- Improved Appearance: Crowns are tailored to blend seamlessly with your smile, enhancing the tooth’s shape, alignment, and color.
- Versatility: Crowns are used in various dental procedures, including covering dental implants, anchoring bridges, or restoring teeth after root canal therapy.
- Durability: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, making them a long-term solution.
- Protection: Crowns safeguard against further decay, infection, and damage to the tooth.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Crowns?
Ideal candidates for dental crowns are individuals with broken, decayed, or severely worn teeth. Crowns are also suitable for teeth undergoing significant fillings or root canal treatment. Our dental team will assess your situation to determine if a crown is the best solution.
The Process of Getting a Crown
Getting a crown can involve multiple visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken to create the custom crown. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being made. The permanent crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented on the second visit for a perfect fit and comfortable bite.
