EVERYTHING ABOUT DENTAL CROWNS
Strength, protection, and a natural look
A dental crown (cap) covers and protects a weakened tooth—restoring strength, shape, and appearance. We use tooth-colored materials (ceramic/zirconia) for a result that blends in and feels comfortable.
How crowns work
We keep you comfortable, shape the tooth conservatively, and take a digital scan/impressions. A temporary crown protects the tooth while a custom crown is crafted. At the next visit, we try it in together for fit and shade, then bond/cement it in place.
Good fit if you want to:
Alternatives to consider
- Large filling or onlay/inlay when damage is moderate
- Veneer for front-tooth cosmetics when structure is strong
- Implant + crown if a tooth can’t be saved
What to expect
- Visit 1: exam, photos/X-rays as needed, prep + temporary crown
- Visit 2 (about 2–3 weeks): final crown try-in, bite check, and cementation
Mild sensitivity or tender gums can occur briefly; we’ll share care tips.
Care & longevity
Brush and floss daily—sliding floss out at the side around the temporary; normal flossing around the final crown. Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects. If you grind, a night guard helps protect your crown. With good care, crowns last many years.
Materials & appearance
Modern ceramics and zirconia are strong and lifelike. We match your shade and polish for a seamless transition with neighboring teeth.
Costs & financing
We’ll review a clear estimate before treatment. Our procedures are often elective; flexible financing is available through CareCredit® and LendingClub®.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can not find the answer you're looking for please reach out to us, we will gladly provide you with the answers you need.
Will it look natural?
Yes—shade and translucency are selected to match your smile.
Does the procedure hurt?
We use local anesthetic and gentle techniques. Most patients are comfortable throughout.
How long will the temporary last?
It’s designed for a few weeks. If it loosens, call us and bring it in—we’ll re-cement it quickly.
Can I eat normally?
Be gentle on the temporary and avoid sticky, hard foods. After the final crown, return to your usual diet.
Crown vs. onlay—how do I choose?
An onlay covers the biting surface and one or more cusps; a crown wraps the whole tooth. We’ll recommend based on remaining tooth structure.
Will insurance cover it?
Many plans contribute to medically necessary crowns. We’ll provide a clear estimate and discuss financing.
