What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing protection and restoring both function and appearance.

Crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need extraction. They protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, repair severely worn or cracked teeth, and can improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

The Crown Procedure

The process begins with preparing your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to receive the crown. Impressions are taken to create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth in color and shape.

A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is crafted. At your second visit, the temporary crown is removed and your custom crown is carefully fitted and bonded in place, restoring full function and appearance.

Comprehensive Examination: Thorough evaluation to determine if a crown is the right solution for your tooth

Bottom line: Dental crowns are a proven restorative treatment that effectively protects damaged teeth while maintaining natural appearance and function, with success rates exceeding 90% over 10-15 years when properly maintained.

Based on established dental research and clinical practice guidelines from the American Dental Association regarding restorative dentistry.

Who Is Dental Crowns Good For?

Good candidates: Dental crowns are ideal for teeth weakened by large fillings, root canal treatment, severe decay, cracks, or fractures. They're also suitable for cosmetic improvements of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.

Who should consult a doctor first: A consultation is recommended if you have active gum disease, insufficient tooth structure remaining, or questions about whether a crown is the best option for your specific situation.

General safety: Dental crowns are a safe, well-established treatment. Our experienced dentists use modern materials and techniques to ensure comfortable procedures with predictable, long-lasting results.
