Restorative Tooth Repair
Dental Crowns
Restore strength, comfort, and a natural look with a custom crown made to fit your bite.
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore normal function. Crowns help protect teeth from further cracking, improve chewing comfort, and blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Treatment is planned carefully so the crown feels natural, functions properly, and supports long-term tooth health.
Crafting Beautiful Smiles With Percision And Care
Dental Crown Treatment
Dental crowns are used to rebuild teeth that are cracked, heavily filled, worn down, or treated with root canal therapy. The goal is to restore strength and stability while maintaining a comfortable, balanced bite. Each crown is customized to match your tooth shape and chewing pattern for reliable, long-term results.
When a Crown Is Recommended
While smaller issues can sometimes be treated with fillings, a crown is often the best option when a tooth has lost significant structure. Full coverage helps prevent fractures, reduces sensitivity, and restores the tooth’s original shape.
- Cracked or broken teeth Stabilizes damage and helps prevent cracks from spreading.
- Large or failing fillings Provides reinforcement when a filling alone can’t support the tooth.
- After root canal treatment Protects teeth that are more prone to fracture.
- Worn or uneven teeth Restores proper height, shape, and bite alignment.
Crown Materials and Planning
Crowns may be made from all-ceramic, zirconia, or gold materials. The best choice depends on tooth location, bite forces, and appearance goals. Material selection is guided by durability, comfort, and how naturally the crown blends with surrounding teeth.
- Bite analysis to reduce pressure and prevent soreness
- Shade and contour matching for a natural appearance
- Conservative preparation to preserve healthy tooth structure
- Guidance to help extend the life of your crown
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment begins with an exam to confirm the tooth and surrounding gums are healthy enough for a crown. The tooth is shaped to support the restoration, impressions are taken, and a custom crown is created for precise fit. Care instructions are provided to help manage sensitivity and protect the tooth while it settles.
