What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible part of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, and is often recommended when a filling isn’t enough.
Common reasons for a crown include:
- Deep decay or large fillings
- Cracked, chipped, or worn-down teeth
- After a root canal treatment
- Misshapen or discolored teeth
- Support for a dental bridge
- Cosmetic improvement
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
We offer a variety of crown options to match your dental needs and aesthetic preferences:
1. Same Day Crowns
Using digital impressions and in-office milling, we create and place your crown in a single visit. Learn more about same day crowns.
2. Ceramic Crowns
Crafted from high-strength ceramic, these crowns offer excellent durability and blend naturally with surrounding teeth. Ideal for front or back teeth.
3. Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns offer beautiful translucency and color-matching. Best suited for visible front teeth where aesthetics are a top priority.
Not sure which is right for you? We’ll help you choose the best crown based on your tooth’s location, function, and cosmetic goals.
What to Expect During a Crown Procedure
For traditional (lab-made) crowns:
- Tooth prep – We remove any damage and shape the tooth.
- Impressions – Digital or traditional impressions are taken for lab fabrication.
- Temporary crown – Worn while your custom crown is created.
- Final placement – Your permanent crown is bonded at a second visit.
If you’re eligible for a same day crown, the entire process happens in a single appointment using digital impression technology.
