Crowns

Restore and Protect Your Teeth with Dental Crowns.

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations designed to restore the strength, shape, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. Cemented securely over your natural tooth, a crown protects from further damage and helps restore normal function.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown

A crown may be recommended to:

• Protect a fractured or severely decayed tooth from further breakage.
• Support and restore a chipped or broken tooth.
• Improve the appearance and function of a worn or weakened tooth.
• Hold a dental bridge securely in place.
• Cover a dental implant.
• Reinforce a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment.

Crown Materials: Options to Suit Your Needs

Crowns are available in a variety of materials. We’ll guide you through the correct choice for your specific needs, based on appearance, durability, and budget.

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) – A durable and aesthetically pleasing option, suitable for most teeth. These crowns are strong, though some metal may become visible if the gums recede over time.
• All-porcelain or ceramic – Ideal for front teeth or obvious areas, these crowns offer the most natural appearance and are bonded to your tooth for a secure, long-lasting result.
• Gold or metal alloys – Known for strength and longevity, metal crowns are often used on back teeth. They closely mimic the wear pattern of natural enamel and are gentle on opposing teeth.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting a dental crown usually involves two visits:

• Tooth preparation and temporary crown – Your dentist will reshape the affected tooth and take impressions for the dental laboratory. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your final crown is being made.
• Final fitting – Once your custom crown is ready, we’ll invite you back for a fitting. The crown will be checked for a perfect fit and comfort before being permanently cemented in place.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental crowns can last 5 to 15 years or more—providing a long-term solution for both function and aesthetics.
