Dental Crowns - Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Teeth

Do chipped, stained, or worn teeth make you feel self-conscious? Dental crowns may be the solution. Crowns are one of the most common restorative and cosmetic treatments in dentistry, designed to both strengthen damaged teeth and improve their appearance.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a cap-shaped restoration that covers the visible portion of a tooth. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or other strong materials and are custom-designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.

According to the American Dental Association, crowns restore the function, structure, and appearance of teeth. They are often used in both restorative care and cosmetic smile makeovers.

Who Needs a Dental Crown?

Crowns can help in many situations, including:

Severely Damaged or Chipped Teeth – when a tooth cannot be restored with a filling alone.
Fractured Teeth – if the crack does not extend below the gumline, crowns can restore strength and stability.
Permanently Stained Teeth – crowns can mask discoloration that does not respond to whitening.
Closing Gaps – crowns can cosmetically reduce spacing between teeth (though they do not correct the bite).
Mild Tooth Crowding – crowns can improve appearance in cases where orthodontics may not be desired.
Smile Makeovers – crowns are a common part of full smile transformations.

The Crown Procedure

Getting a crown typically takes two to three visits:

Examination & Treatment Planning
We begin with a full examination, including X-rays and digital models, to diagnose the problem and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Tooth Preparation & Impressions
A thin layer of enamel is carefully removed to make room for the crown. After preparation, impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab. We also record the shade of your teeth so the crown blends naturally.
Fitting & Bonding
At the final visit, your custom crown is placed, checked for comfort and appearance, and then permanently bonded to your tooth. Once complete, your tooth will look and feel strong and natural again.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Strong & Durable – crowns protect weakened teeth and can last many years with proper care.
Natural Appearance – modern porcelain crowns mimic natural enamel beautifully.
Restored Function – you can chew, smile, and speak with confidence.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

Brush and floss daily to protect the tooth and surrounding gum tissue.
Avoid chewing on very hard objects (like ice or pens) that could damage the crown.
