What is a Dental Crown and Why Might You Need One?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its size, shape, and strength. Crowns are often recommended for:

• Protecting Weakened Teeth: Teeth weakened by decay or large fillings can benefit from a crown to prevent further damage.
• Restoring Cracked or Broken Teeth: Crowns help restore a tooth's function and appearance when it’s been cracked or severely damaged.
• Enhancing Aesthetics: Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

1. Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns offer a natural look and are highly resistant to staining, making them an excellent choice for visible front teeth. These crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine strength and aesthetics. They provide a durable option for both front and back teeth, especially for patients who need additional reinforcement without sacrificing appearance.

3. All-Metal Crowns

All-metal crowns are extremely durable and ideal for molars and teeth that withstand heavy chewing forces. While not typically used in visible areas, they are a cost-effective and long-lasting solution for back teeth.

Our team will help you select the best crown material for your unique needs, taking into account factors such as location, durability, and appearance.
