What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It’s used to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance after significant damage or treatment. Crowns are commonly placed after root canals, to cover large fillings, or to restore broken or worn-down teeth.

Our Dental Crown Procedure

1. Comprehensive Exam: We assess your tooth and discuss your goals to determine if a crown is the best option.

3. Impressions: We take precise digital or physical impressions to ensure a perfect fit.
4. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
5. Final Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we bond it in place and make any final adjustments for comfort and aesthetics.
