What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged or treated tooth. Crowns are used to restore the structure, function, and appearance of a tooth that can no longer support itself due to decay, fractures, or previous dental procedures.
Dental crowns are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or a combination of porcelain fused to metal. Each crown is individually crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance and comfortable fit.

What to Expect
Digital Scan & Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital impressions to create a crown that fits comfortably and looks natural. Your dentist will review your oral health, explain the crown procedure, and help you select the ideal material based on your needs and long-term goals.
Crown Placement Process
Using local anesthesia, we gently reshape the tooth to prepare for crown placement. A custom-made crown is designed to restore strength and aesthetics. In most cases, a temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is being crafted to ensure proper fit, comfort, and bite alignment.
Crown Care & Longevity
Crowns are easy to care for and can last up to 20 years with consistent dental hygiene. Brushing, flossing, and avoiding sticky or hard foods are essential. Regular checkups help monitor the crown’s condition, ensuring it stays secure, functional, and natural-looking over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental crown last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns can last a decade or more. Some may even last up to 20 years depending on the material and how well they are maintained.
Is the crown placement procedure painful?
We use local anesthesia during the procedure to keep you comfortable. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after treatment.
What materials are used for crowns?
