Dental Crown

A crown can repair and protect your tooth.
A dental crown is placed over the affected tooth, repairing areas of decay, protecting them from further damage, and often preventing the need for extraction.

Dental crowns are a trusted, durable solution.
Most dental crowns are made of strong materials that are designed to withstand normal biting forces. Some may last ten years or more with proper care.

Dental crowns look just like your other teeth.
Dental crowns are made from high-quality materials that can be color-matched to the shade of the surrounding teeth and mimic the natural light-reflecting properties of your smile.

Your dentist will determine whether a dental crown is the best solution for you. If so, you will work together to decide which material is best for your needs.

Damaged or decayed portions of the tooth will be removed. 

The tooth will then be reshaped and resized to create enough space for the crown. 

Impressions will be made and used to create your new crown. If the doctor has an in-office milling machine, you may receive your personalized dental crown in a single appointment. Otherwise, you will need to wait about one to two weeks.

You will return for your second appointment during which the doctor will place your crown over the remaining portion of your tooth and ensure it fits comfortably. 

The crown will then be secured in place using a dental cement.
