What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap usually made from resilient, tooth-colored ceramic. It’s carefully customized to match the size, tone, and shape of your natural teeth, then is cemented over your inured enamel to shield the underlying tooth from harm.

Our team might recommend this solution to:

Protect a tooth that underwent a root canal procedure.
Anchor a dental bridge over healthy abutment teeth.
Cover a dental implant to close the gap in your grin.
Shield damaged or decayed teeth to prevent potential problems.

These restorations require enough healthy underlying enamel to support them long-term, so you might not be considered a good candidate if you’ve suffered more severe decay or tooth loss.

The Dental Crown Process

It may vary slightly based on your unique circumstances, but usually, our team begins by numbing the area so you feel calm and comfortable while we work. Then, we’ll prepare your tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure your restoration fits correctly, before taking impressions of your teeth. This information will be sent to a dental lab, and it can sometimes take a couple of weeks for them to deliver the final product.

Our team will likely recommend placing a temporary dental crown to safeguard your smile while you wait for the permanent one to arrive. Once it’s delivered, we’ll schedule an appointment to secure it in place. The result is a beautiful, lifelike repair built to last.
