A dental crown is a versatile solution designed to restore and protect damaged teeth. Whether your tooth has been weakened by decay, cracked from injury or compromised after a root canal, a crown can help restore its strength and appearance. Each crown is custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly, ensuring it looks natural and functions effectively. Our dentists can create crowns using materials like gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain is often the material of choice due to its durability and ability to match the natural shade of your teeth, providing an aesthetic finish.

A crown works by completely covering the visible portion of your tooth above the gumline. This comprehensive coverage reinforces the structure of the tooth while protecting it from further damage or decay. It also improves the tooth’s appearance, making it an ideal choice for teeth that are misshapen, discolored or structurally compromised.

You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:

• Restoring a tooth that has been weakened by decay or a large filling
• Protecting a tooth following a root canal treatment
• Capping a dental implant to complete the restoration process
• Holding a dental bridge in place
• Enhancing the appearance of a tooth that is misshapen or discolored

The process of receiving a crown typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared by removing damaged or decayed areas, and an impression is taken. This impression is sent to a dental lab where your custom crown is crafted. At the second appointment, your crown is placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
