Dental crowns are versatile restorations and may be recommended to treat a broad range of issues affecting your teeth and smile. Crowns are most frequently recommended to restore damaged teeth but may also be recommended for aesthetic purposes. Our dentist may recommend a dental crown to:

• Protect a tooth after a root canal treatment
• Anchor and attach a dental bridge
• Cover and complete a dental implant
• Improve the appearance of your smile
• Improve the appearance of a misshapen tooth
• Strengthen a tooth that is fractured or otherwise weakened
• Support a tooth with a large filling and little remaining natural tooth structure

Dental crowns are made to fit over the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape and appearance and preventing it from sustaining any further damage. Our practice uses only tooth-colored materials when creating your crown in order to give you the most natural-looking result and fully restore your smile. Tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain, often look and feel more like your natural tooth enamel and produce a beautiful, durable result that you can enjoy for many years to come.

Crowns typically take two appointments to complete. During the first appointment, we will take impressions and prepare the tooth. You will also be provided with a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the final crown is ready. At the second appointment, our dentist will place the crown, check that it fits properly and bond it into place.
