Restore and Protect
A dental crown or “cap” can be used to seal a tooth after root canal therapy or provide a natural looking tooth replacement for patients missing one or more teeth. Naturally stain and cavity resistant these popular prosthetic devices provide countless restorative and cosmetic benefits. Because they are often made of strong tooth-colored porcelain a dental crown may look, feel and function just like a natural healthy tooth after placement. If your tooth has been damaged, decayed or lost it might be time to give us a call to schedule a consultation.
What Is A Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene.
Over time, your teeth can get damaged. This can happen for a variety of reasons, like tooth decay, injuries or just use over time. Your teeth can lose their shape or size. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that can be placed over your tooth. Think of it like a snug hat for your tooth. The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance.
The dental crown is cemented into place on your tooth and it covers the visible portion of the tooth.

Our Dental Crown Process
FROM TEMPORARY TO PERFECT
The dental crown process begins with applying a local anesthetic to numb the area and prepare the tooth for shaping. A dental impression made and sent for processing to build a custom dental crown. During this process a temporary crown may be placed to properly seal the area. At your second appointment the new color-matched dental crown is cemented into place to look, feel and function just like a normal, healthy tooth.
