What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-designed cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns help protect the underlying tooth while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be recommended to:

• Restore a fractured, cracked, or broken tooth
• Strengthen a tooth with severe decay that cannot support a filling
• Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
• Improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
• Support a dental bridge
• Replace a missing tooth as part of a dental implant restoration

Crowns offer both functional and cosmetic benefits, making them an effective long-term solution for damaged or weakened teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns provide a lifelike appearance that closely mimics natural tooth enamel. They are stain-resistant, durable, and ideal for front teeth where aesthetics matter most.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. They are a great choice for teeth that require both durability and a natural appearance.

Zirconia Crowns

Made from high-strength ceramic, zirconia crowns are known for their durability, biocompatibility, and natural translucency. They are ideal for both front and back teeth.

Metal Crowns (Gold or Alloy)

Metal crowns, often made from gold or other alloys, are extremely strong and long-lasting. While they are not as aesthetically pleasing, they are a great option for molars that endure heavy chewing pressure.

The Dental Crown Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Dr. Emily Conley will evaluate your tooth and discuss the best type of crown for your needs. If necessary, digital X-rays will be taken to assess the tooth’s structure.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

A small portion of the tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown. If the tooth is severely damaged, a build-up filling may be placed to provide additional support.

Step 3: Digital Impressions

Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom-fitted crown that matches your bite and natural tooth shape. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted.

Step 4: Crown Placement

Once your permanent crown is ready, we will carefully fit and cement it in place. Adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or longer. To maximize the lifespan of your crown:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent decay around the crown
• Avoid chewing on hard objects (ice, pens, or fingernails)
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings
