Dental Crowns

A damaged tooth doesn't have to mean a lost tooth. Dental crowns restore the strength, shape, and appearance of compromised teeth — protecting them for years to come.

What to Expect During Your Visit?

Examination & Preparation

Your dentist examines the tooth and reshapes it slightly to ensure the crown fits securely and comfortably over the existing structure.

Impression & Temporary Crown

An impression of your tooth is taken to create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being made.

Permanent Crown Placement

Once ready, your custom crown is carefully bonded in place and adjusted for a perfect fit and natural bite.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are made to match the color of your natural teeth and can be used to protect a cracked tooth, cover a large filling, or complete a dental implant. Once placed, a crown looks and feels just like a natural tooth.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Dental crowns are recommended for patients with damaged, weakened, or heavily restored teeth that need full protection and restoration.

A crown covers and protects a cracked or broken tooth from further damage and sensitivity.

When a filling is too large or decay too extensive, a crown provides the full coverage needed to save the tooth.

Teeth treated with a root canal become more brittle over time — a crown protects and strengthens them for long-term use.
