Dental Crowns

Dental crowns replace the structure, function, and esthetics of a damaged tooth

Dental crowns are an effective solution for:

  • Decayed or weakened teeth
  • Broken or worn-down teeth
  • Misshapen or discolored teeth
  • Covering dental implants
  • Enhancing your smile
  • Holding a dental bridge in place

If you find that you’re facing any of these challenges, we can help! With skilled professionals and advanced technology, dental crowns are a reliable method of getting the smile you’ve always wanted.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns are essentially a cap that is designed to mimic the look and function of a natural tooth. They are placed on the visible part of the tooth that is above the gum line. Crowns can be stainless steel, all metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin, or all ceramic. The type of material that is used largely depends on your goals for your crown.

How are crowns placed?

First visit:

  • Your dentist examines your oral health, checking your tooth roots and bone
  • The tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown
  • Your dentist will make an impression of the tooth to design the crown
  • A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth until the permanent crown is ready

Second visit:

  • The temporary crown is removed
  • The permanent crown is fitted and adjusted
  • Once everything is in place, the permanent crown is cemented into place
