Improve Tooth Function and Appearance with Strong Restorations
Improving your smile can boost self-esteem and confidence. Dentistry advancements can enhance even the most difficult smiles, making them stunning and healthy. Your dentist can provide solutions for any imperfections.
When a filling just won’t do
Dental crowns and caps are terms that can be used interchangeably. If dental issues like decay, cracked fillings, root canals, teeth clenching, or grinding have caused significant damage to a tooth, a dental filling may not be sufficient for restoration. In order to fully restore the appearance and function of the tooth, a dental crown is often necessary. The good news is that once completed, a dental crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
In addition to restoring a single natural tooth, crowns can also serve other purposes. They can provide support for dental bridges, cover dental implants, or protect a cracked tooth from further damage. A crown can also be used to restore the natural appearance of a discolored or stained tooth. Crowns can be made from materials such as porcelain baked onto a metal substrate, all-porcelain, or various new ceramic materials that have been developed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Crowns fully cover the visible portion of the tooth and act as a new outer surface to protect it.
Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are broken, worn down, or severely affected by decay. They may also be used when a tooth doesn’t have enough strength to support a filling, helping restore function and prevent further damage.
Dental crowns can be made from porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. Porcelain crowns are commonly chosen because they closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth while still offering durability.
The dentist prepares the tooth and takes an impression, which is used to create a custom crown in a dental lab. Once the crown is ready, it is fitted and cemented onto the tooth so it functions and feels like a natural part of your smile.
Dental crowns help strengthen weakened teeth, restore chewing ability, and improve overall appearance. They are designed to blend with your natural teeth while providing long-lasting protection and support.
