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 do dental crowns last?
Most dental crowns last 10–20 years or more with proper care. Longevity depends on the material (zirconia and porcelain-fused-to-metal are most durable), your oral hygiene habits, and avoiding teeth grinding or chewing hard objects. Regular check-ups help us monitor your crown's condition./p>
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you'll feel little to no pain during preparation and placement. You may experience mild sensitivity or soreness for a few days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and usually resolves quickly.
What materials are used for dental crowns?
We offer several options: porcelain (all-ceramic for front teeth—most natural appearance), zirconia (exceptionally strong and aesthetic), and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM—combines metal strength with porcelain beauty). Your dentist will recommend the best material based on the tooth's location, function, and your budget.
Can a dental crown improve the appearance of my tooth?
Absolutely. Crowns not only restore function but also enhance aesthetics. We custom-design each crown to match your natural tooth color, shape, and contour, creating a seamless, beautiful smile—whether you're repairing damage or covering discoloration.
How do I care for my dental crown?
Treat it like a natural tooth: brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily (especially around the crown margin), avoid chewing hard foods (ice, hard candy), and visit us every six months for professional cleanings and exams. If you grind your teeth, consider a night guard to protect the crown.
